Belly piercing
Ok guys, here's ,y question! I'm turning 18 soon so I can legally pierce anything I want. When I was 16 I got my belly button pierced on the top. For some reason something went wrong and i got very infected and I had to go to the docotrs n take it out. Now I have a scar there. When I squeeze the scar tissue it hurts. And my doctor said yesterday that it would be difficult to repierce through it. Anyways I guess my question is do u think it would look dumb or hurt if i got it pierced from the bottom??? I heard people say it hurts more but maybe thats just a rumor? Thank You guys so much for your help!!!

Hey i did the same thing that you did but i was 14 when i did it and now i re pierced it and i had scar tissue and believe me it did hurt when i would like put pressure on it and such-well when i got it repierced (through the whole thing) it was a little bit more painful but nothing serious...i dont think it would look stupid but maybe you should consider piercing the whole belly button it might blend in with the scar better...your welcome for the advice and i hope i helped someway

I think it would look so cute. I have my top, I am getting my bottom done also. Its probably gonna hurt the same.

well , ur belly button will be periced . i got my bb periced like 2 weeks ago , its looks cute! but try to find someone with a bottom pericing .

no because it should hurt the same as the top did because my sister has the bottom pierced and my mom said that it most likley feels the same

I have heard of people getting the bottom pierced, but I'm not sure how it would look. You could always try hanging, or clipping something there for a while to see if you like it, and if you think it looks good.
But, since the top already got infected, I would worry a lot more about the bottom getting infected. Sometimes the skin just doesn't accept the metal going through it, and since it's so close to the other piercing, that might happen again. If you do get it pierced there then clean it ALL the time, like before and after touching EVERY time you touch it. Clean it like 7-10 or more times a day, it can never be too clean. Use a piercing solution, and if the solution dries it out too much then put a tiny bit of vaseline on it, but make sure the vaseline doesn't touch the ring, just put it around the dry skin.
So, you might as well try it out but absolutely make sure you clean it.
If you want to get your belly button pierced because you think it looks sexy, You could always get your nipples pierced. They actually don't hurt too much. And they heal faster than your navel does. About a month, instead of the six or more months it takes your belly button to heal completely.
so, good luck.

hi,well thats a decistion u make n everything but in my opinion if i was in ur place n i got infected by pircing it once i wouldnt try again..cuz i bet it will still get infected...xoxo effy

Well if you decide to have it done again, dont go to the same place where you had it done! Or maybe you just have that skin that scars which means it might happen again!

I think it would hurt more to pierce it at the bottom then at the top, But i dunno I've never heard of getting the bottom done...

Getting it repierced into the scar tissue would be possible, but more painful than if it hadnt scarred. It wouldnt kill you or anything, but it would definitely hurt. It might look a little odd to have the scar on top and then the piercing below, but it isn't a big deal and I doubt people will gasp when they see and say amoungst themselves 'Oh look away its hideous'. Or maybe they will.
While you're deciding on where to repierce, why not put some Vitamin E lotion on that scar and help it disappear or at least improve.
I'm sure its just a rumour that the bottom hurts more to get pierced, it probably hurts equally lots no matter what really. I suppose if you have more fat collected on the bottom half of your belly button (and hey some people do) then it would hurt a bit more, but even then - not a whole lot more.

well how do ya kno that its not going to get infected too? Thats up to you if you wanna take chances ,. but i wouldnt do anything that hurt just to impress my friends or whatever..u can even get something else pierced beside your belly ,. like your eye brow or a lil dimond in y0ur nose?? well whatever y0u do G0od luck!

Well,I've had my belly button pierced for over 2 years now,and I never had an infection so that part I can't tell you about.But I can tell you that you should really listen to your doc,those infections can be very serious and damaging.Getting it pierced from the bottom doesn't hurt anymore than from the top in my opinion.I had mine pierced from the bottom,and it was a breeze.I've also had my tongue pierced and then re-pierced after I took it out 3 different times!! Speak with the piercing artist at your local shop and see what he/she thinks.They are usually very helpful,they know what they're doing,and they would NOT reccomend you do something that could be dangerous to you and/or your health!!Also,if you do it again,make sure you pick a very clean sterile place!Make sure that they wash their hands,and that you see them bring in all the materials,the needle,the ring or barbell,in their packages.Also be sure that they sterilize everything,and wear their gloves!!:)Write me back and let me know how it goes and what you end up doing!!! :)
