alcohol applied to the instrument and area usually keeps infections away. so does going to a professional.

It's definitely a bad idea to pierce it yourself, especially if you don't know how and are using a safety pin - you could get an infection! Go to a qualified piercing and tattoo parlour, and make sure they know what they're doing :)

i peirced mine myself, then like after a week i took it out cuz idk, i just wanted it perfessionally done because i dont wanna take that risk of getting infection. i just suggest go getting it done perfessionally, only 35 dollars max, unless you wnat a really good ring, other than that it should be like 30 dollars, all you need is one of ur parents there to sign for you, but i think if your going to do it at home one of your parents know about it and would let you get it done. xox try going to a shop

Do NOT do it yourself. get a professional. once it is done clean it regularly with salty water. i have had mine for 4 years and it hasn't been infected yet!

Yup, I'm that someone. Before I got my belly button pierced professionally, I pierced my own belly button quite a few times. For all those times, it never got infected, I just had to take it out. Well the last time I pierced my own belly button, I popped a blood vessel. I did everything right when I pierced it but I didn't even notice that I popped my blood vessel because I didn't feel anything. Please, DO NOT pierce your own belly button. I know you are probably thinking: "Why am I reading this girl's story? I'm just going to ignore her thoughts and still pierce my belly button." When I pierced my belly button, I pierced it with a sewing needle. If you still think you want to do this, these are pretty much the simple steps to pierce your belly button: Get all the materials that you need (a pen, needle, ice, ring, etc.) and disinfect them. Then, ice the area around your belly button for about 10 minutes and then mark where you want the piercing to be. There should be two marks; at the top and at the bottom. Then, you just pierce your belly button. Trust me, it doesn't hurt. Don't forget to clean your piercing twice a day. These are pretty much all the steps but if you have any questions, feel free to ask them! I definitely recommend you not doing this and just wait until you can get it professionally done. I'm sorry for my short story but I always tell it to people like you, who want to pierce their own belly buttons. Hope I helped :)
