  1. I've had my belly button pierced for 5 years now. I have the top of the belly button pierced.

    It is important to get it done in a professional place, which can vary by state. That way you avoid infection and allergic reaction. This way it is done with sterile instruments and jewelry. You should follow the instructions about swimming/cleaning and such.

    They "last" as long as you keep them free of infection, and keep jewelry in them. Some women take the jewelry out and let them close up when/if they get pregnant. That depends on whatever you want to do and how big you are getting!

    When they are pierced they are gauged. That means a small chunk of the skin is taken out by a hollow needle. There is always the possibility of the gauge shrinking to a smaller size if you leave your jewelry out.

    (It was uncomfortable to wear a belt for a few weeks after!)


  2. well done for researching surface piercings!

    It really dependsd on your anatomy. You should have a prominent navel ridge to get a navel piercing that will last, otherwise it's reject. Also, if your stomach folds where your navel is, it probably won't last.

    go to a reputable studio and ask them for their opinion! I can't tell you online! :)
