okay so i just got my belly button pierced and i was wondering if when i went swimming like in a lake would it get infected like by the water or would it be fine and all I'd have to do is clean it after or can i not go swimming until it heals compleetly???
ASAPcamille answered Tuesday March 20 2007, 4:46 pm: I would not swim with it-like the people below me said. There are so many things in lakes and ponds, it is unsanitary especially for a new piercing. I would go to the parlor, and if they say it is ok, then i would put something over it - like a bandaid. It will keep it as safe as possible. If you do go, then make sure afterwards you clean the piercing.

Make sure that when you get piercings you ask for a paper stating how to care for it and what kind of contact to avoid during the healing process. I know that where I go, I don't have to ask for said paper- they make sure I have it in hand and stress the importance of reading and following it before I walk out the door.
