If I get my belly button pierced soon, how long do I have to wait to be able to go in the ocean and a swimming pool for long periods of time? Summer is commming soon but I want my belly button peirced, BUT not if I can't go swimming! Also, how long does it take for your belly button to completley heal after you get it peirced? DO you suggest getting your belly button pierced or nah? Thanks for the advice!
