belly priece

I'm assuming you mean peirced. I don't think it really matters the size of a person, in the end it will prolly hurt to some degree anyway. Be that a little prick, or a big pinch. Everyone is different in how we react.

I really have to ask...

why are you getting your navel pierced?

Re: belly priece


If you are fine with getting shots, then you'll be ok with the piercing.

And yes, it will hurt. Unless you have nerve damage in that area, you WILL feel it. It may not be as bad as someone else, but the pain will be there. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

You'll have to be careful not to wear tight clothing which might rub and snag your navel ring.

the only reason why i'm geting it done becouse i wanted ro get for a long time so thats why

A long time? A month? A year? You are only 14 so I can't see this being something that you've been contemplating for a while. Do you want it because all your friends have it?

no i think it kinda looks cool and some of my friends do have it done

Well, that is certainly sound logic.....

I'm sure the Harvard debate team has been breaking down your front door trying to recruit you.

Have you considered spending the money you would use to pierce your stomach to take a class so as to learn spelling, capitalization and punctuation?

Although having your belly pierced will undoubtedly help in your getting admitted to medical or law school, you might want to have a backup.

Why is everyone so anally meticulous about language around here lately?

Easy way to cut someone down I guess when you don't have anything relevant to say.

She's 14! Instead of cutting her down for a few spelling mistakes, perhaps we could give her some simple facts about belly piercings. That way she knows all the risks involved. Noddy made a good point about snagging, also make sure the establishment where you get it done is clean and sterilized!

Having a belly button piercing is surely not going to be the cause of not getting into medical or law school, that's ridiculous. Since when do you go around the office in a belly shirt? Do you?

Also, the piercing can be taken out at any time and it will grow in.

At 14, if you can't read and write properly, there are other things to be thinking about besides a belly piercing. Like school.

I agree, but people shouldn't be criticized on how they type out the problem at hand. What matters are their problems or questions, and as long as they're readable who ******* cares. Everyone makes spelling and grammer mistakes. This is a forum not a spelling bee!

Settle down InTranNs

As Bella said, this is a 14 year old girl who obviously hasn't put much thought into this....

I'd wager as much thought as she puts into her writing.

I was using a device called sarcasm.

My spelling stinks, and everyone here knows it.

I can't even imagine a 14 year old can legally get that piercing.....so it's a moot point.

*settles down* :wink:

Hey InTranNs

Do you and dlowan ever get together for carrots?

Hi Deadkiss

I guess I'll stick my two cents worth in, if you don't mind.

First of all, are you a cheerleader, or on any kind of a sports team, such as tennis, volleyball, etc.? If so, you would do well to wait till you have an extended absence from these things. I could not imagine doing cheers while in the middle of a healing belly piercing.

Now, when you first get it done, it does hurt a little. Not alot, though. Think of it like going to the doctor and getting a shot. It stings at first, but happens so fast that you only feel the actual penetration for a few seconds. After that, you will feel it still ......but in a different way. It's more like a light stingy ache. Nothing bad. It will be a difficult to bend over the first few days or so. At least all the way over. Will be better to bend DOWN, instead!

I will tell you what I did when I got my piercing done. The guy that did the piercing for me, swore by it. I'll tell ya .....it actually did work, too!! Will it work for all people? I don't see why not, as long as you keep it very very clean. Don't wear tight clothes.

Here's what you do:
When you decide to get this done ...... there will be some fluids seeping from the piercing. This is normal! Our bodies do try to reject foreign objects. When this happens it causes a crust to form around the healing wound. Now, what you need to be careful of .....is NOT pulling it off while you are cleaning it. It's natures way of trying to put a protective coating around it. Or at least that's how I look at it.

BUT ....... you do still need to keep the area clean. And with this crust forming, it causes the ring or bar to become almost stationary as it sticks to this crust. So what do you do? It's easy. Get yourself something called "tea tree oil." You are going to use this to keep the skin soft around the piercing, WITHOUT removing the crusty scab forming. Just keep putting this on and letting it soak into your skin. It will soften it up in a short time and allow you to be able to spin your ring or bar. Make sure when you get to this point that you put another drop onto the ring so it can get INSIDE the peircing as you turn it.

Now ....... this may sound crazy but it's very important. Once you have done the above (at least 3 times a day)........... just before you go to bed at night, take an asprin. Chop it up if you can, and put it on a spoon. Put just enough water on the spoon to moisten the asprin and make a paste. When you have the paste made, put it right on your piercing. Leave it there for about 20 minutes. Rinse it all off.

Do this every day, hun .........and your piercing should be fine. Mine healed up very quickly and with no problems that it seems alot of people have.

Now .......I mostly use saline to keep mine clean. I have heard that sea salt with a little warm water is great too!

There are alot of awesome rings and bars out there! Some will work for you and some will not. I wear mostly dainty bars or rings. Nothing big for me. I don't really care for them. Some of them are heavy and can make you sore. I've gotten into really liking small diamonds around my navel. The daintier the better.

Good luck!






****disclaimer: I was much too lazy to go back and check my spelling. Therefore, I make no claims of accuracy in the spelling department.

Hears my 2 cents. Howabout u dont put pieces of steel through your skin. Not cool, not hot. Ears n thats it. Belly is not as bad as tongue n mouth i guess, if you punch holes in your face and put pieces of steel through the holes for 'ornamental' reasons then thats not cool.

If you are 15 teen
can u still get it prieced
If there are any Racnie Wi people and are 15 that got it done let me kno thanx

in almost every place I've been in, you have to be at least 18 ... if you're younger than that, a parent has to go with you and sign their permission ...

and Brooke, did you use pure tea tree oil or a diluted version?
