Okay so the skin between my ring and bellybutton is about to tear so i took out the bellybutton ring. my question is can i ever put it back in or do i have to wait for it to completely heal and get it repierced? I am very stubborn and i really don't want to keep it out but i don't want it to rip out either. what should i do?
NoOneImportant answered Tuesday May 10 2011, 8:55 am: I'm a body piercer so I can tell you that you are not the only one that this has happened to. Some people experience infections, and others may experience migration, or even rejection. Although, navel piercings typically heal at a high rate, it is actually common for them to migrate or reject. Depending on your body, it can be hard to completely avoid migration or rejection, as some people can not heal belly button piercings successfully no matter what. You just don't know how your body will react. The important thing is to make sure that you keep up with proper aftercare and that you wear proper jewelry, as this will help improve the odds of avoiding migration and other complications.
Also, sometimes the body or even certain parts of your body will continue to refuse the piercing. If this is the first time it's been pierced I suggest let it fully heal, then try to get it re-done. If the same thing happens again then you know that you cannot have a piercing in that area. Also, It's not just belly button piercings, this goes for all piercings.
