bellybotton pierced
i really wanna get my belly button pierced but im afraid it will hurt really bad and when they're doing it i will want them to stop. so my questions are, is it a quick process? does it hurt? will it get in the way if i play sports? and how long do i have to keep it in before i change it?

It may hurt a little afterwards.
It doesn't really get in your way during sports if you afriad of that tape it down or tak it out.
&& you can change in about 3 months

i have both belly button and cartiledge pierced and out of the two, the cartiledge was worse but not by much. when you get your navel pierced it's a quick process they tell you to take a deep breath in and when you let out they pierce it and it's done! your cartiledge keeps hurting for days and days but my belly button only hurt for about a half hour. i'm not sure about it getting in the way of sports, because some teams have no jewelry of any type rules. and you should keep it in for about 3 months before changing it. hope i helped!

Read the above site for other people's experiences.
I got mine done sometime ago.
The pain depends on your pain tolerance level.
My bellybutton hurt more than my cartilage, but my friends cartilage hurt more than her navel.
It all depends. Don't believe people who say ''Oh it hurt like shit/It didn't hurt''
IT ALWAYS DEPENDS ON THE PERSON! :)
It's quite quick, but the piercer may take time marking it, so it comes out perfectly.
The clamps may hurt you, but for example the clamps didn't hurt me.
When it's healing, yes, it will get in the way when you're doing sports.
After I got mine pierced, I played tennis the next day, and the constant moving and running did irritate the piercing.
They say that you shouldn't do too much sport when it's freshly pierced.
I suggest waiting a month at least.
Generally, the navel piercing can take up to 6 months to heal.
This is because it is always moved around when you sit, change clothes, sleep, etc.
And it's a common piercing to be rejected by your body.
Mine took about 6 months to heal, and the only sport I did was in school.
Be careful, and if you're really active in sports, I wouldn't recommend this piercing.
Make sure you find a reputable piercing place.
And read the experiences on the link I gave you.
Oh yeah, to change jewelry, you have to wait until it's not painful, sore, red, crusty or whatever.
If you change it when it's still sore, you will probably get an infection, or irritate it so the body will start to reject.
Choose a nice simple banana barbell, and stick to it, until the piercing is ok.
Don't mess around with it before.
I made that mistake.
The piercer put in a plain silver barbell, but my boyfriend got me a cool black one, I thought I'd change it in the shower, cause it'd be ''clean'' (two days after I got it pierced) and it was all swollen and sore for two weeks after :(
Also, make sure you clean it twice a day, this will help the piercing heal faster + better.
(ask for specific instructions from the piercer)
:)
Happy piercing.
Ask if you have any more questions.
