Getting your belly button pierced doesn‘t hurt nearly as much as the anticipation of it does! It‘s like a pinch and it‘s rather quick ... before you know it your laughing both with releif and excitement that it‘s DONE! It‘s actually quite an exhilierating experience.
When I had my navel piercing done (about 30 years ago now) my piercer made a joke about calling an ambulance shortly after performing the piercing. My friend and I were just too busy laughing to even think about the pain!
The healing process can take quite a few weeks, but aside from a little tenderness for the first few days, assuming you keep your belly piercing clean and clear of infection, the new piercing doesn‘t cause too much discomfort at all. Follow your piercers guidelines for looking after your piercing and you‘ll be surprised just how quickly it heals and how painless the whole procedure is. It‘s definately best to wear loose fitting clothing during this healing time, anything that won‘t rub and distress your belly piercing is great.
If your about to get your belly button pierced, my advice, stop worrying about it and simply look forward to the event. MAKE SURE YOU USE A PROFESSIONAL PIERCER!! This is very important. There are risks associated with piercings, but these are very low if you use a trusted professional. Also, take care when selecting the jewellery you will use for your new navel piercing, make sure you select a surgical grade belly ring and listen to the advise offered by your piercer. Some designs cause less stress on a new piercing and are worthwhile using in the short term for the long term benefits of a successful piercing. Internally threaded belly rings are also good for new piercings to avoid bacterial build up so consider these if they are available.
The answer? NO! Getting your belly button pierced doesn‘t hurt nearly as much as people who havn‘t had it done anticipate!
Kathy Acker, in an interview, described her own experience with piercing: "Ground yourself and do really deep breathing. And if you do it right, the kundalini will come. The energy will go right to the top of your brain and shoot out. And it did!"
My want for a piercing began shortly after my first tattoo, nineteen years ago. To be honest, at the time I was not aware that very few men pierce their navels. No matter. After all these years I still remember the rush of the needle penetrating me, and the accompanying feeling of invincibility. I have always wanted more piercings since that then, but for various reasons (none of them fear), I haven’t followed through. I love my piercing, and I intend to never allow it to close. I enjoy wearing surgical steel spikes, but I usually favor balls in gold or – more often – basic black. More guys should do it!
I wanted a belly piercing when I was 12 (I’m 14 now) and so I asked my friends for their opinions and they all said to me, ’don’t because you’re too young and you might get bullied’ and so I agreed with them and then in late 2016 one of my friends got their belly pierced and I got jealous so I had to beg my mum for a belly piercing but she kept saying no. Christmas came and I begged my mum in public because she couldn’t reject me and she finally said yes only because I would have to pay for it and stop begging for things. I was hyperventilating because I was so excited to get it done and it took at least 5 mins to get it done, I do not regret it!
From the age of 10 I wanted to get my belly pierced but thought I was too young. When I was 12 my mum said she would take me to get it but I wanted to lose weight first, after that I kept putting it off because I was scared of the pain. I’m almost 16 and I finally got it done a few weeks ago for a holiday to Queensland and I’m so happy with it!! It was over and I didnt realise she’d even put the needle through. It’s a great piercing you can’t not love it! If you want it just do it!! You won’t regret it :)
I had mine done when I was 18 , loved it , removed it in 2008 because a few girls I went out with didn’t like it . Went and got it redone end of 2017 , sent a pic to my wife and she loves it ! TummyToys and belly ring shop is now my fav websites!
from the age of 12 i wanted to get my bally pierced but didn’t want to tell my parents. It was 2002 when i got it done, and thought it looked great, it wasn’t long ago when my parents found out i had my belly button pierced. They were really disappointed with me and didn’t trust me. After that we had our fight and argued that i was too young and need to stop copying and being like my friends i started to become a different person my, parents were glad that i became a more mature adult and wanted me to go through university. from today i still have my memories and was glad that i changed.
