Belly button piercing setting of security??

Question

i am debating about getting my belly button pierced now, or in a week or so. the ring i would get is sergical steel 16 gauge. i need to know FOR SURE if this will set off the alarm because my parents dont know if about the piercing, and if they found out they would KILL ME!!!! and i dont have the option of taking it out since its so new. does anyone know what will happen??

Answer 1

Sure, go ahead and get it.  Get a professional piercer to do it, because he'll stick in a 14g (What you NEED to have to ensure that it won't reject) surgical steel captive hoop (so you can clean it!).

I have the sides of my belly button done as well as my nipples, and because it's surgical steel, it won't set off the detector.  Also, because it's not a large concentration of metal, it can't be detected.  You should be fine.  Just be careful with the piercing and take care of it.

Answer 2

Mine didn't go off.

Answer 3

The metal detector in the airpoert won't, but the wand will. It happened to me when we went on a field trip to a prison :(

Answer 4

Body piercing is never a good idea, from a health perspective and a fashion viewpoint.  All it does is make you look stupid.

The best solution is just not to have it done at all.

Answer 5

If the walk through scan doesn't pick it up, the hand held wand which is often randomly used will.  Don't take the chance.  See the articles at this site including the story about the woman who was forced to remove a ring with pliers when it was stuck.  http://www.google.com.sg/search?hl=en&q=...

Answer 6

nipple rings do the same thing....just tell the person running the scanner you got em.....he might want to see them.

Answer 7

Sounds like there's another issue.  I'd say, if you can't tell your parents about getting a piercing, then maybe you should re-think getting one.

I am assuming you are old enough (your local or state age requirements).  Personally, I'd rather my daughter (I have three) would feel like she could tell me she wants one, and we could discuss it.  She could tell me her side, and once I understood where she was coming from, I could tell her my thoughts.

In the end, it's more about the relationship, then the piercing.

Answer 8

dont do it. you will just look like every other wanna be S****y girl running around. just my opinion, but girl with no body piercings and no tattoos is so much prettier.
