A WOMAN who had her belly button cut off has shared the lengths she went to in order to get it back.
Alex explained in a video on her TikTok page that her pal had undergone a tummy tuck – and lost her tummy button in the process.

But, instead of having it surgically put back on, which can often lead to extra scarring, she decided to turn to fine line Alex to have it inked on instead.
“My mate had her belly button cut off,” Alex began her video.
” Now, you might be thinking, why would she have a belly button cut off?
“A few weeks ago, she had a
“And rather than having one surgically put back on, she dropped it on me the other day that she wanted me to tattoo it for her.”
Alex added that while she has never taken on such a tattoo before, her friend’s “only requirement was that it didn’t look like a cat’s a**ehole by the end of it”.
And she was “pretty sure I could do that”.
She then showed what the woman’s stomach looked like with the navel tattoo, before saying she’ll do another session once it’s healed and she sees how the “colours have settled into her skin”.
“So yeah, I suppose if you ever find yourself without a belly button, you know where I am!” she concluded.
“A very niche request!” Alex captioned the video.
And the comments section was immediately filled with people admitting the results had left them stunned.
“I watched this so many times as I was convinced it was real!!! Fair play!!” one wrote.
“That looks incredibly real, wow good job!” another added.
“That is insane!!! Amazing job!” a third praised.
“Oh my God, what a good idea – looks amazing,” someone else agreed.
“Woah what the helly?! That’s INSANE WOW,” another said.
The ink-redible ancient history of body art
Scientists have discovered the world's oldest tattoos on the arm of a 5,000-year-old Egyptian mummy on display at the British Museum.
The mummy, known as Gebelein Man A, pushes back evidence of figurative tattoos by 1,000 years.
The oldest tattoos were once thought to belong to a South American Chinchorro mummy who had a moustache-like design inked on his face.
It was initially thought he died in 4,000BC but in 2015 researchers found he is in fact younger than 5,200-year-old frozen mummy Ötzi the Iceman.
Ötzi was found by walkers preserved in a glacier on the Italy-Austria border in 1991.
Imaging using various wavelengths revealed a total of 61 tattoos: Geometric designs of dots, crosses and parallel lines.
Ötzi would have done lots of walking im the Alps and it is thought the tattoos may have been a kind of acupuncture to ease joint pains.
There is evidence of tattooing on mummies found in the Taklamakan Desert in China dating from 1,200 BC.
Modern tattoos of the kind sported by David Beckham are thought to have developed in Polynesian cultures over centuries.
The name comes from the phrase tatatau, meaning to hit or strike, which the British sailor James Cook heard when he reached Tahiti in 1769.
“That’s so impressive, how does it look so real?” someone else commented.
While the woman herself wrote in the comments: “Hahhahah I am f**king over the moon to be back in the belly button club.
“And there’s no one else that could have got it as perfect as you!
“Love you and thank you forever!”
