also remember that im here to ask a question. i dont want stupid posts saying im dumb for doing it at home, i dont care what yall think! just answer the question pleaseeee :)

Answer 1

Hah, well. I've done it twice without my parents knowing & have friends who have done it as well. I kept mine hidden until I took it out & now I have a scar. But, just wear loose shirts, & if they're tight kind of bunch them around the belly button so the piercing doesn't stick out. Otherwise, they won't & shouldn't find out.

Don't use numbing gel. If it's a professional they'll use a clamp & just push it straight through. Don't waste time with numbing stuff. The clamp will hurt more than the piercing.

Good luck! =]

If your friend is truly a professional, then they would have that answer for you and wouldn't be breaking the law in the first place.  It'll be funny when you come back asking if your piercing is infected.  Which it most likely will be.

I never had to hide mind from my parents because they allowed me to get it when I was 16.  It's not a hard piercing to hide though.  Just wear shirts that cover it.  Problem solved.

I think you should really think about it like so my teacher went on the ride x and her belly button ring ripped off it hurts trust me there was blood scary right it may look cute but there can be some per cautions needed to be taken that's a good reason that your parents may not want you to have one at your age  

Answer 4

i got mine double pierced about 4 weeks ago and my dad has no freakin clue.  you really don't need any numbing cream, unless you really can't stand needles, but i don't really know where to get it from, i suppose you could go to a cvs or something like that

Answer 5

IDK Maybe You Should Go To A Parlor Because You May Get It Infected

Answer 6

I did mine at home with a kit---it was stupid. It hurt and bled like you wouldn't believe. I SHOULD HAVE gone to a pro, but here's what I did instead... I used tooth numbing gel, it worked pretty well but you start to feel pain half way through. I can't stop you from doing it, so my advice is use a needle kit, clean the area, have the pro help you, and prepare for pain! Clean your piercing twice a day with saline solution or clearsil. My piercing got infected---so my experience was prob more painful than your's has to be--keep it clean! Oh, and it's very easy to keep it hidden--just wear longer shirts.  

Answer 7

I agree that you should go to a licensed shop, as there is a possibility of an infection.  Of course I would never get my navel pierced, since I had an umbilical hernia (a hernia in the navel area), and I do not want the chance of that coming back.
