It's not uncommon for a navel piercing bar to show a bit more after two months of getting the piercing. In the healing process, some swelling and tissue changes can occur, causing the piercing to initially appear snug but later allowing more of the bar to be visible.

Since you mentioned that there is no pain or discomfort and the piercing seems to be healing fine, this might just be a normal part of the healing process. However, it's always best to pay attention to any changes in the piercing, as everyone's body heals differently.

Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure your piercing heals properly and minimize the risk of rejection:

  1. Keep the area clean: Clean the piercing twice daily with saline solution or a mild, unscented soap to prevent infections.

  2. Avoid irritants: Stay away from harsh chemicals, creams, or lotions that could irritate the piercing.

  3. Avoid trauma: Be cautious of any actions that could tug or pull on the jewelry, as trauma can lead to complications.

  4. Don't change the jewelry prematurely: Wait until the piercing is fully healed before changing the jewelry, and ensure the new jewelry is made of high-quality material (surgical steel, titanium, etc.).

  5. Monitor the piercing: Keep an eye on the area for signs of infection, excessive redness, or discharge. If you notice anything unusual, consult a professional piercer or a healthcare provider.

  6. Choose a reputable piercer: If you have concerns about your current piercing or experience any issues, consult a professional piercer with experience in dealing with navel piercings.

Remember, everyone's body reacts differently to piercings, and even with proper care, there is always a small risk of rejection. If you are concerned or experience any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek advice from a professional piercer or a healthcare provider who can assess the situation in person.
