  1. About 6 weeks to heal fully and then you can change it after about 8 weeks just to be sure.

    Thats what I did and mines fine now.

    Hope I Helped, X.


  2. It is about 6-8 weeks before changing it, the piercing should not hurt at all and should have no redness etc round it, (after 6 weeks).

  3. No, it take at least 4-6 months for a navel piercing to heal. Earlobes take 6-8 weeks, but that's a lot less skin being pierced in an area that doesn't really move and bend all day....yeah. Anyway, you need to wait until it's fully healed to change the jewelry. Which will be at least 4-6 months. Some people take well over a year to heal a navel piercing. Just depends on your body. From a forum I visit, where there are more people who are actually educate about piercings,

    "WHEN YOUR NAVEL PIERCING IS HEALED:

    Your piercing is healed after 4-12 months, when you have had no lymph (crusties) for at least a month. Some people never have lymph. This does not mean your piercing is healed. Give your piercing a MINIMUM of 4 months to heal, and do your aftercare religiously for 6 months. After this, if you have no lymph and no problems, you can consider your piercing healed. However, piercings have relapses...if at any time your piercing begins making lymph, becomes red, painful or irritated, you must treat it like you did when it was new. Resume your aftercare, stop changing your jewelry (unless poor quality jewelry is causing the irritation), and baby it."

  4. Doesn't hurt anymore??
