 I have a flat stomach and really want a navel piercing but I have a bit of an outie belly button. I do not have enough skin above my navel for a piercing but I might have enough underneath the navel. Is this called an inverse navel piercing? And what kind of jewellery is available for this type of navel piercing. Ive always loved the ones that have dangling bits, but I guess I wont be able to wear these on this type of piercing? ...

 I am 13 years old, and my father disagrees with all piercings. I asked him on my birthday in September if I could get my navel pierced, and he said no. I left it alone until 2 weeks ago when I asked him again. He once again said no, and told me that if I wanted it done so badly to do it myself. I can promise you he didn't mean it, but oh well. I bought a kit online with the contents of a sterile needle, a navel clamp, a navel jewel, alcohol swab, a needle holder, aftercare solution, and a cork. Can someone please give me directions on how to use this kit to pierce my navel, and directions to correctly care for my new piercing? (No comments saying I shouldn't do it, because I am 13 and I am going to do it regardless of what a bunch of people on the internet, that I barely know, say.) Thanks. ...

 I'm going to get my belly button pierced next week, and I'm afraid. I'm a girl, and I just turned 15. I've never had a piercing before. Not ears, not anything. But I want a navel piercing more than anything. I've gotten a shot before, which I barely felt. And I've gotten blood drawn from my arm, which hurt, but not bad. Can I compare the piercing to either of these? Or is it worse? I hear there's a clamp they use to cut of blood near your navel to numb it. Does this hurt worse than the actual piercing? Does the initial piercing last longer than a second? I've heard that by the time you react to the pain, it's done. Is it true? I took my long nails and pinched my navel as HARD as I can to prepare myself. It hurt like a b!tch, but only for a sec. Can I compare the piercing to this? Overall, given my age, and the fact that I can withstand a shot/my nails/ blood drawing, could I handle the piercing? And any tips for a first-timer? Very good tips so far. But I have more questions. What cleaning creams/liquids have you used that don't cause infections/problems? I've heard good things about Bactine and Tea Tree Oil. And bad things about Seabreeze. Idk. What brand name places did you go to to get your navel piercing? I've heard good things about Tan-Tastic and Tom Spauldings. Maybe Claire's? It'd be awesome if you could tell me your location and the name of the place you went to. And also, if your a pro, could you tell me if it would do anything to ice my own navel at home for hours and then go to the place? Haha. But will that do anything, really? And will it hurt if I took Ibuprofen before I leave for the place? I've heard you shouldn't cause it makes you bleed, but then I've heard you should because all it does is ease the pain. I'd love some solid answers. And thanks so much to whoever takes the time to truly and thoroughly answer all of my questions. ...

 I got my navel pierced last week (I've had other body piercings, no problems)! From the moment I got it done, through now it has been sore, the pain isn't as bad now. The skin in that area has been red (but no swelling or dryness) and my navel area has always turned red with touching or pinching. I was told to constantly move and spray it with sea salt. Well everytime I move it, it bleeds a little. It doesn't look like any of the infected pics I've seen online, aside from the redness, but it is not dry or swollen. Now the upper part seems to be literally sinking in, tearing my skin. From the start I wondered if she pierced too much skin...it feels like someone is pinching my navel. I got it done at a reputable tattoo parlor and they did my other piercings. I am probably heading there tonight reguardless, but I just wanted to know if this is common...or if it sounds like a real problem. The sea salt makes it feel better and the redness has been pretty much constant! My main concern is where it is sinking in to the skin. ...

 Hi There, I am 23 years old and got my navel pierced about 2 weeks ago at a profeesional piercing place, I have been cleaning it daily. In the shower with Band-aid foaming wound cleaner(or something like that). Then after work I do a sea salt soak for 10 minutes and another one usually before I got to bed. I have made sure to wear loose fitting close so I don't irrate it, and never touch it with dirty hands. Right now it is very tender and red inside an around the navel. The skin inside and around the navel is dry & peeling. Is this an allergic reaction to the cleaner or maybe the barbell??? I'm not sure. My Piercing has a light yellowy discharge. Am I alone on this one?? Does anyone have any suggestions??? ...

 I had gotten my navel pierced about a month and two weeks ago. It is still infected. Is that normal? I know that they take a long time to heal but I've never had a previous expierience like this with any of my other piercings taking this long to heal.
