  1. arright, this is going to sound lame, but its my honest opinion (im a 19 year old that has a good number of piercings and a small tattoo).... if you arent old enough to shop online, not old enough to get a piercing at a store, and your parents arent helping, then you arent meant to get one yet. piercing yourself is very dangerous, and the kits usually dont give proper technique for specific piercings (piercing a bellybutton, afterall, is not the same as piercing cartilage or a lobe or surface). and, even if you find a kit with specific needle and clamp, unless you have a skilled piercer, the tools are useless.

    ive seen people pierce themselves and end up with weirdly angled holes, which make finding good-fitting jewelery impossible. on a more extreme note, i also know of a girl who tried giving herself a surface piercing and had to go to the ER because she hit a vein.

    wait till you can get a professional to do it.

    also DONT do what the chick above me suggested. the needle used in navels is long, hollow and curved, and a different gauge than the type of earring used in lobe piercing. your piercing will not look right at best, and at worst might injure you!


  2. if you wanna be ghetto about it, you can buy the wal-mart ear piercing earrings/kit (they have one that's like a barbell) and use your fingers to push the earring through your navel... then it'll take a while to heal and then you'll have to choose to stick with 18G rings or be brave and push a 14G ring through the hole [most belly rings are 14G] and it''ll hurt to upsize for this
