OK so im 16 and i FINALLY convinced my parents to let me get my navel pierced. im going to europe this summer and my question was whether it would heal enough by around the last week of june if i get it done in April. another thing also, does it hurt!?? a lot of ppl say it doesnt but im hesitant. also while its healing can you go to the beach with it and go in the water? thnx :]
I changed mine after one month though. If you clean the piercing well, it heals alright, and it isn't hurting you, I don't see the problem in changing your piercing while at Europe.
It doesn't hurt at all. And I honestly mean that. But ears hurt ten times as bad as my belly button. I was expecting a seriously painful experience, and it didn't hurt at all =]
You aren't supposed to get in the beach water for precaution reasons, but after a few weeks, I don't see how it could hurt to bad. Just clean it really good with Dial soap after swimming.

Maybe not even that. It will hurt to bend down but I went to gymnastics the day after getting it and I was fine. You can go to the beach with it. The salt water is actual good for it. But make sure to clean it with what they give you every time your done in the water. It should be okay to change by the end of June. I changed my both early. Whatever you do, don't swim in a lake, that got mine badly infected. And don't clean it with rubbing alcohol if it does get infected. It will like eat your infected skin. Trust me haha. Any more questions feel free to ask! =D [ hollister_lover09's advice column | Ask hollister_lover09 A Question ]
