If you still really want to go ahead make sure you research the person who is going to do it cause remember you are stuck with it for life so you want it done right.

danceonme answered Saturday May 14 2005, 6:18 pm: Really, really, really trust me when I say not to do it yourself. It's unhealthy, you could do something wrong and hurt yourself, and your parents could find out and you'd be in more trouble than when you started.
Wait until you're older. I know it sounds dumb, but just because your friends have it doesn't mean you need it. In 10 years, will it matter? Wait. And don't do it yourself. [ danceonme's advice column | Ask danceonme A Question ]

fall2pieces answered Saturday May 14 2005, 12:04 pm: show her your responsible! dont do it without her permission, you could mess it up or something and get it infected and itll cause lots of pain. just dont bug her about it cause thatll make her mad and shell continue to say no.

MyPaperHeartIsBleeding answered Saturday May 14 2005, 11:40 am: Okay well you're right, it doesn't really hurt.. but during the first like weeks you get it done, it's veryy painful if anything hits it. Also, once when i was at the beach mine ripped out. Sometime's it's not a good idea to get your belly button pierced. DO NOT do it at home! it will probably get infected, especially if you don't know how to do it righT! Ask your mom if there is anything you can do to let you get your belly button pierced!

Ashley1 answered Saturday May 14 2005, 10:39 am: You shouldn't do it at home. You would be at higher risk of it getting infected. Get it done by a professioanl at a tattoo and piercing type shop. Since your mom says no, You will have to wait until your 18. Don't feel like your the only left out, I am 16 and I can't get any piercings until I am 18 too. You can get some fake belly botton rings to wear. [ Ashley1's advice column | Ask Ashley1 A Question ]
sunshine1232 answered Saturday May 14 2005, 10:28 am: well i don't think you could do it at home i would go to like a tatoo palor that does piercings and stuff like that even if you could do it at home i wouldn't because it could get infected if you went to get it done professonial you would have a less chance of it getting infected maybe do something that shows your mom of how responable you are maybe she will change her mind about letting you get a belly button ring. good luck [ sunshine1232's advice column | Ask sunshine1232 A Question ]
