My 17th birthday is coming up in March and on my birthday weekend I happen to have dance competitions. Its going on it OR and thats where my sister lives. I really want to get my belly button peirced. My sister has a good peircing place in mind but what I'm asking you about is basically what to expect. Do they use piercing guns for a belly button piercing or a needle? I know pain differs from one person to the next.
Just some answers is all I require.
Thanks,
AG

They spread diseases and put you at a higher risk of catching an infection.
It's a bit hard to pierce a belly button with a gun though ;] so yes, needles are used.
You probably will be clamped too. People say the clamp hurts more than the needle. I, personally, have never been clamped so I can't really comment on that part, but don't worry about the needle itself. It's a sharp pain for such a small amount of time. Bearing in mind, it will ache for a few days afterwards because belly buttons are in an awkward place, not allowing you to bend/get dressed etc properly.
Follow cleaning advice and soak it with warm sea salt water for when your piercing feels irritated. Works wonders.
Best of luck! [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
