Belly button piercings make you appear slimmer?

Question

do you think a belly button piercing make people look slimmer? or make their belly buttons smaller? i have a big belly button =[ and i don't know whether or not it would look weird on me..

what do you guys think??

Answer 1

No, they dont make you look slimmer. If you'think your belly button is too big, the piercing will only draw attention to the very thing you dont want people to notice. BB piercings look pretty wierd when that ring is poking out underneath your shirt.

Answer 2

First off, if you are overweight, never get your belly button pierced.  It makes you look fatter.  If you are already thin, it will not make you look slimmer.  It will just highlight your belly.  Thats it.

Answer 3

If you have a little extra on your waist, a belly button piercing will just emphasize the extra not make you look slimmer. By having a big belly button, if that means you have an "outie", I'm not sure how it would look.

Answer 4

This is a weird question, but I am not that fat or that skinny, im in the middle and im extremely selc conscious about my body all the time. I tend to avoid bikini's but then whats the point of getting a bellybutton piercing right? I got mine because i think its very confident for someone who isnt the "stick skinny" type to get one and im not afraid to show it! They are cool and even if you see a "chubby" person with it you cant really say anything bad because they have a bellyring so its "cool" ! ... i also find that when i am wearing it i feel a lot more confident when wearing a bikini and i feel skinnier and i think i look skinnier and better. without it i feel as if people are just staring and its boring.

Answer 5

I'm sure it would look great on you.

Answer 11

Aside from the fact that I think bellybutton rings are totally trashy, no they don't make you look slimmer.  In fact, I think it's quite the opposite.  I advise you not to get one, especially if you're already self-conscious about your belly button.

Answer 12

Belly button piercings don't really make you look slimmer, and they don't tend to make belly buttons look smaller. Mostly they just pull attention to your waistline. If you are slim it might look good, but I've seen heavier people with them, and it looked awful. If you're self conscious about your midsection, you might want to wait a while before you get a piercing. See if you still want it in six months. The style now is longer shirts anyway, so unless you're in a bikini, most people won't see it.

And just for your info, here's my two cents:  I got my belly button pierced several years ago as a teenager. I loved it. However, while I happen to think that belly button piercings are cute, I really wish I had never gotten one. The scar you'll have when you do take it out is really ugly even if it's small. My hubby didn't like it, so I got rid of it. Also, a lot of women really regret it when they get pregnant because it can make a big ugly hole above the belly button that doesn't go away after the baby is born. Luckily, my scar was closed up so that didn't happen to me, but it's something to think about. Maybe just give yourself some time and see if you really want it a little while from now. :)

Answer 13

i don't think that belly button piercings make u look slimmer.

Answer 14

I don't think it would make people appear slimmer or bigger.  But it would probably look cute on you nonetheless.  

Answer 15

Hardly...

It draws attention to your waist.  If you're self-conscious about your waistline, you don't want to draw more attention to it.  

Answer 16

no

Answer 17

no they dont

Answer 18

the first thing to think about is are you willing to get your belly button pierced?? but other then that im pretty sure it wouldnt make you look any slimmer. it might draw more attention to your belly button but to slim i dont think. best of luck :)

Answer 19

Well I have never heard of the whole looking slimmer thing before.

I have not yet seen a naval piercing that looks weird - unless the piercer didn't know what they were doing and it was c**k-eyed.

I say if you want it do it!!

Answer 20

it draws more attetion to your stomach

Answer 21

Haha my best friend and I think the same thing. I've seen not so skinny girls (not fat but not skinny either) w/ belly rings and they appear to be thinner.  I just got mine done and I love it! I have a smaller belly button but my friend that got it done with me has a big belly button and hers looks great too! I say go for it!! O and if you do the best thing to clean it with is salt water!! It doesnt hurt but it helps it heal faster! I got mine done last month and I can change it and mess with it w/o pain. Good luck!

Answer 22

It makes people look S****y, like those s**t stamp tattoes on a womens backside  

Answer 23

Um, being slim makes people look slimmer.  

Answer 24

if you're this worried about the appearance of your belly button then getting a belly button piercing is not going to make you feel any better about yourself.  

Answer 25

no, they make you appear dumber.
