does the piercing hurt while you get it? because i thought you are supposed to get anesthesia or something and it hurts afterward after it wears off? do they use a needle? how long does it take?
xkayx22 answered Thursday May 21 2009, 3:07 pm: I had my belly button pierced about 6 months ago and i don't really think it hurt at all, which is a big deal because i'm a baby about stuff like that. The reason mine didn't hurt as much as most peoples is because my piercer didn't use a clamp which is really what causes the most discomfort during the whole experience. Yes they use a needle, and it takes about a few seconds. It's definitly worth it don't worry about it! go get it done! [ xkayx22's advice column | Ask xkayx22 A Question ]

They do use a needle. Basically what they do is first sanitize your stomach and belly button area. Then mark where the needle will go through. After that they clamp it with a small clamp to hold the skin and finally they put the needle through. Its a very quick process and any pain that you do feel will only be for about 3 seconds. Mine didnt hurt afterwards very much, only when I was trying to sleep because I like to sleep on my stomach and it pulled on it.
