Belly button pierced with scar?

Question

I had pierced my belly button about a year ago on my own (i know it was stupid thanks) and it got infected and i had to take it out. I want to know if I can get it pierced professionally even though i have a scar there?

Answer 1

yes but i advise you to wait a couple of months until the scar heals so they can pierce it correctly. they would have to go vertical to avoid the scar tissue.

Answer 2

Yeah you can have it repierced.  A good friend of mine had her's pierced like this because the first time it rejected.  She said having it pierced through the scar tissue was the worst pain she had felt in a long time.

Answer 3

you can get it pierced professionally, but they won't be able to pierce on top of scar tissue because it will affect the healing process. chances are that when you pierced it yourself, you didn't pierce it in the correct place, so your piercer most likely won't have to pierce on top of the scar anyways.

good luck!
