Belly Button Piercing
Ok. I'm going on vacation to Brazil in less than a week and I'm gonna pierce my belly button there. I heard that salt water is good for the piercing. But I also heard that it's not good to go swimming ANYWHERE b/c it might get infected. I need to know if I could go swimming in the ocean while I'm Brazil (since the ocean is salt water you know)? Please answer! So important for me to know. I'll rate good!

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I don't think I would because the ocean water is full of all kinds of bacteria which could cause an infection. :)

dont go swimming give it atleast 2 weeks it could get infected with the bacteria and besides you have to apply medication for a week or two

I just got mine pierced a few weeks ago and i am a Full time trainging swimmer I train 10 times a week and the clohrine didnt do anything so i thnk you should be fine. Make sure you get it done professionaly and not just some guy on the side of the street

Well when I got mine pirced the guy didn't say ne thing to me about not going into salt water or ne other water (pool or w/e) but they told a couple of my friends not too..so idk just ask the guy/girl they'll tell ya!

do not go swimming, although the ocean is salt water it is not the same salt water you have ayt home. it has much bacteria and living organisms that you can't even see, it will get infected and it will hurt badly. my advice, get it pierced after vacation, you can waitrather then have a rash and infection all vacation can't you?
good luck hunnie, xoxo

well, personally i wouldn't get my belly button pierced down there, but i guess that is up to you.
i think that it is ok that you go swimming in the ocean, but always have some kind of "germ killing" substance with you while you are down there, like neosporin. it is always better to be safe than sorry.
hope i helped.

ask the people where you get it peirced if it is safe aand such to get it pierced and go in the water. Yea salt water is usually good, but cleaning it is good too..haha hope i kinda helped

Belly button piercing

Salt water is good for your piercing.. but like another said, you should wait untill the last day, or 2. One of my friends got hers done at venice beach and went in the water after.. not a good idea. But it might have been because of the water polution.. brazils water is cleaner, but you should be careful that sand or dirt wont get in it because then it will get infected. Better be safe then sorry..
