Question about Piercing.....

Anyone have their belly button pierced?? If so...just how painful IS it to have it done? I have been thinking about doing this, but am a *****icken. Please share the good, bad, and etc.....I even bought 2 barrels yesterday...both on sale and hypoallergenic, just in case!!

you being nervous is the worse part of the percing I have mine done and the only time it hurt is when I had pants on that touched it or I cought it on something. but that stops after about 2-3 months I love mine. I have had mine for 9 years.

Thanks....I figure I am stressing out over something that probably isn't as bad as I think it is!! BTW...I was an "Army WIfe" during a 22 yr career. 

Yeah it's not bad at all and trust me I am a big ole sissy.

Yeah we been doing the Army thing for 23 years looks like hes about to do 30 I cant wait to get done so we can get back to Bama and have our lives back.

The Army has been good to us but it's time to say Thank You and good bye

Way to go Pam!!!! now we need to get you a tattoo also!

 not likely!!! gotta get the courage up for the belly button...LOL....i may make you go with me! think they would give me nitrous??? hmmmm..just a thought!!! 

I am ready to go whenever you are!!! Just do it.....dont think about it.then you have to get you some lowrise pants so they dont rub the piercing,  another excuse for clothes shopping!!!

 Figured it's a good thing I wear scrubs to work again now....no tight jeans to make things uncomfortable!!

I don't have one, but I have a bit of advice, based on my daughter's experience.  Don't try to switch out your jewelry for six months!  That was the advice that was given to my daughter, but she just had to try her cute new jewelry after she *thought* it was well-healed (a couple of months?).  Unfortunately, the new one wouldn't go through, and she had to let it heal up and get it re-pierced.  It was *much* more painful the second time around, due to scar tissue, and never looked quite right.  She eventually gave up, and now just has scar tissue, and no piercing!

Good luck with your piercing.  I'm sure all will go well as long as you follow instructions, LOL!

Thanks, Tami. Good advice.....I have read it takes up to a year to really heal good. Don't think I'd want to do it a 2nd time!!
