I think you should wait. If you're not 100% sure about wanting it then you shouldn't do it! Wait 4 or 5 years. You might want it now and in a few years change you could change your mind. You have the rest of your life to decide it you want to get it done so don't rush into it.

I really think you should wait a few years, cuz even though you may feel certain you want that now, your mind might change. Getting a belly button piercing is a PERMANENT change to your body, so I would really think about whether you want that for the rest of your life. I would say hold off for at least two or three years. And yes, it may send an odd message to your peers, but who cares what other people think? This is about you and your body.

Personally I don't think you should get pierced right now. YOU"RE 13. You have plenty of time to get a piercing and plenty of time to really think about it. You're not sure about getting a piercing yourself because you came to us. Just wait until you're 17 or 18. Not 13. That's a bit to young.
I hope this helps.

At 13 years of age, I don't believe any shops will do it. I believe the minimum age with parental consent is 15 or 16. I'm a body piercer and a tattoo artist, but states do vary in ages. Best thing to do is call local shops and ask them about the age limitation and so forth. As for schools, it all depends on the type of school you go to. If things haven't changed THAT much, then a belly piercing shouldn't be a problem, so long as it does not distract you from your school work. If I'm remembering correctly, a lot of schools don't approve of certain piercings due to them being a distraction.
Also, should you get the piercing done, do NOT pick at it, be sure to properly wash it at least twice a day. Meaning thoroughly wash it and rinse it, ensuring it is fully rinsed other wise you will get an infection, resulting in removal of the piercing, or possibly even worse.
Edit : Also, with getting a piercing, you HAVE to have your parent/guardian present with you if you are under the age of 18.
