Belly Button Piercings?

[Jolie C]

Like them, hate them, find them sexy, think they are cool?? What's your opinion? I like them and have thought about getting one from time to time. (Just don't tell my mom! )

 

[Maleficent13]

I have one, and I really like it. I did it about 2 years ago and haven't had a minute's trouble with it.

They're just another unattractive fad, in my opinion.

 

[stinkerbelle]

I've had mine pierced for 5 years now..never had a problem with it.

I also currently have 14 earrings and I used to have my eyebrow pierced...most people consider all that "trashy"...however I feel utterly naked w/o all my earrings as I've had them for almost 10 years.

If I was 19 and still had a 21 inch waist, I'd get one. But I'm not and I don't, so I won't.

I got one about 7 or 8 years ago... as soon as I was legal =) I thought they were rebellious enough for me, but un-noticeable to most and not permanent. Seemed like the perfect teenage act of rebellion for me to try out =)

In the end, I kept it until about a year ago, when one end of the barbell came off, and I didnt have time to get a replacement ring before it closed up. I just let it close... didn't matter to me then.

I dont necessarily think they're sexy... or gross, either. Just a personal preference, thing. I would rather my teenager have that done than a permament tatoo or more noticeable piercing.

Not crazy about the look, and I wouldn't want my daughters to get that sort ofpiercing.

If she really MUST do something like that, Claire's sells clip-on belly rings.

I love bellybutton rings! It's something I never thought I'd do because I've never been the type. When my sister got hers done 2 years ago, I thought it looked cute, and 2 days later decided to get one for myself.

I got it done in September of 2002, and had a few problems with it about a year later. I took it out to put a different one in, and I couldn't get it back in. So I got it repierced in September 2003. It's been over 6 months so a few weeks ago I was gonna take it out and put a new one in, but I just can't unscrew the top! No matter how hard I try I can't get it off because they screwed it so tight. I guess I'm gonna be stuck with this one in for awhile, but it's ok because I like it.

 

[stinkerbelle]

also - piercings are not permanent. remember that - the holes close up with little to no scar.

i have a slight scar on my eyebrow - but that's it. This was the only piercing I got "permission" from my parents to do way back then - just because it was the face.

I like my belly button - but i love my tattoo more.

still a rebel after all these years.

 

[Jolie C]

Okay, so for the big question.... Does it hurt to get one?

 

[Idaho]

I think they are gross and I would never get one or let my dd get one.

 

[MAC3]

As a person who has a strict opinion on earrings belonging just in ones ears. I must say during this trip to Disney I did see some very tasteful, delicate belly button rings that I thought were attractive.

But they were also on 20-30 yr olds with a body that made it attractive.

I personally would never get one. I'm in the same situation as gymnasticsmom68.

Oh, and Jolie, I would be telling your mother if you get one.

 

[Maleficent13]

Okay, so for the big question.... Does it hurt to get one?

Yeah, it hurt. At the place I went to, they used a pair of surgical clamps to grab the skin, and IMO that hurt more than the actual needle stick. In any case, it was exactly 3 seconds of pain, and then it was over. I've never had my ears pierced, but I don't imagine it hurt any worse than that would.

 

[Jolie C]

I've had my ears pierced, but it was a long time ago, so I don't really remember it hurting much. Thanks for the info, Maleficent!

 

[preshi]

I have one and I like it... it's actually out right now becaue my stomach is the size of a beachball but I'll put it back in as soon as I can

I've had to have mine done 3 times (one i took it out for surgery and it closed, once the ring fell out and i didn't notice and it closed). It's not really that bad, but I have a high pain tolerance

 

[TalkisCheap]

I find them ugly, and disgusting. My sister went through a phase where she wanted one, but my parents said no and she never got one. She's happy she didn't. My brother's girlfriend just got one and I find it worse on her. She's overweight, and now wheres bellyshirts to show it off. She's nice and all, but belly-shirts on overweight people are not my idea of tasteful or good looking. I'm not one on pain, and I would never EVER get this done. I have my ears pierced once and no more earrings, no tattoos...no nothing well ever be on my body besides earrings in my ears.

 

[JerseyJanice]

I'm wincing at the thought. It sounds so painful!

I'm not a fan of piercings. One hole in each ear lobe is all the piercing I ever had or wanted. But as was said by someone else, at least you take the "ear"ring out when the fad goes away and not be left with a permanent scar (like a tatoo).

 

[oddball27]

I LOVE them!! If I wasn't afraid of needles, I would've had one last summer!!!

 

[mickeyfan1]

I used to not like them, but as they have become more main stream, I have gotten over it. I would love to have my navel pierced, but just haven't gotten around to it. I do have 7 holes in one ear and 3 in the other and a nipple piercing, and 2 tattoos. For me, the answer is no, it didn't hurt. I got my 3rd holes in my ears almost 27 years ago, before it was fashionable, for sure. I am not a fan of larger holes in peoples ears, not do I like eyebrow or nose piercings, but to reach his own. What ever reason people have for doing it, it is not any of my concern, nor is what I do anyone elses.
