What happens when you stick a pin inside the core o your navel?
The navel is one of the many erogenous zones that has heightened sensitivity. Meaning, if you were to, oh lets say 'STICK A PIN IN THERE.' I am sure you should get medical attention as soon as possible. Umbilical vein and Umbilical artery. You have a artery there. The navel is just a scar. If you puncture it, you puncture that artery and bleed internally. Have fun with that. Yup yup.
