I don't normally advocate a full-width photo at the top of a Hub, but in this case I think it's appropriate. The Hub is all about the product and why it's preferable to other alternatives so a "hero shot" makes sense.
Frankly, I would not say this is your daughter's piece. I would simply link to the place where people can buy it as the Source, and say something like "A belly ring made from bioplast".
One more photo would be a good idea.
A few more thoughts - your title is far too long. I found the content very interesting because I have metal allergies, so I'm thinking that a title which attracted people like me could work better, e.g. "Bioplast: Safe Body Piercings for Metal Allergies"?
For your paragraph headings, think of what people would be searching for on Google. Your current headings don't really invite me to read on. I looked at auto-complete on Google and I got "Is Bioplast safe for new piercings?" That should be a heading for one of your paragraphs.
Have you noticed that on the niche sites, HubPages editors are now using a Callout capsule for each heading, instead of using the standard text capsule heading. I suggest you adopt that practice.

If you look at the list of available capsules on the right hand side, you'll see there are "core" capsules and "Supplementary" capsules. The Callout capsule is the last one under Supplementary.
You simply put the title in the callout capsule, and leave the heading of the text capsule blank.

Callout is all one word.
You can also try hovering your cursor down the left hand side of the Hub and clicking "Insert Capsule". Callout is the last one on the list.

Good!
If you take a look at some of my Hubs which went through HubPro, you'll see the editor changed all my main headings into Callout capsules (if you select Health and Beauty on my profile then look for the ones that are on Bellatory, those are the ones that were edited).
I found it irritating at first but I guess I've got used to it now. And I figure, if I use them, then it's more likely my Hubs will be picked to move to the niche sites (which is definitely where the money is).
Note that the Callout capsule does have a nice feature in that you can add some additional text, you can use that as a sub-title.

I did find a forum post which gave a list of the sites and what they were each about BUT not by name - and then I found a Hub in the Learning Center which listed the names of all the sites, but no indication what they included (and it's not always easy to tell from those weird names).
I couldn't find a list anywhere which lists all the sites by name and then describes what each one covers.
Thanks! If I spent less time helping and more time writing, I'd be a lot richer. I just find it hard to do solitary work for any length of time.

The blurry picture is the one with the tree ear cuff.
I think the sub-titles in the callout capsules are too long, keep them to two lines max

Today I am having trouble with edits. I am preparing a hub for publication next week, and am breaking up portions of text within a text capsule with sub-headings, using the "heading 3" format.I also want to bold and underline these sub-headings, but those edits will not...

I've heard they slow traffic down although I have a few hubs with call outs that are doing well, so I'm not sure what to do. I hear some say they're fine and others that they are traffic killers. Would appreciate some advice from the staff, thank you.

A very kind soul noticed a month ago that I need to learn how to break up my text with photos or something between the paragraphs when my text is long. She explained how to do it. I tried and couldn't grasp it. Then I misplaced or accidentally deleted her email -- so I haven't...

I think I missed something here but have recently seen some discussions about in-text Amazon links v Capsules. How do you put in text links in, is there a special way? Do I just get the link that I get from Amazon when I go on there and choose the product? Or does this only work for people who have...

In helping newbie members, I notice a lot of them using headings inappropriately. Instead of using the available hierarchy of heading formats, they tend to use the capsule heading for everything - photos, Amazon capsules, videos, paragraphs. When I suggest they need to use SUB headings,...

I'm still having problems saving text capsules that have links in them.I've been having the problem for months now. Every now and then I can't save text capsules that have contextual links within the capsule. I'm using Firefox and I've tried Safari today. I can only get it to work most of the time...
