Belly button piercing, how long do you have to wait to get in water?

Question

i swim almost everyday, for the next week i dont have practice..can i get in the water after a week of getting it done?

Answer 1

Yeah..im sure u can, when I got mine I just cleaned it with soap on a q tip, but when I got my tattoo I had to wait a week before I got it wet, and that was extra hard.

Answer 2

if you're getting in to a clean swimming pool you should be fine.  just make sure that you clean your piercing afterwards.  when i had mine done i used saline solution or water and sea salt.

i would just avoid rivers and lakes for a few months while your piercing heals.

Answer 3

you need to wait at least a month, even if its clean water there is going to be chemicals in it that will be harmful to your piercing and will most likely cause an infection
