I'm not really completely sure why I wanted to pierce my belly button... I think it was because I was 16 and I was ready to move on from just having my ears pierced like every other girl my age. I realize that a vast majority of girls my age also have their belly buttons pierced, but at least it was something new and more original than just ears. Some of my friends that had already had theirs done for a little while told me not to expect much pain during the actual piercing, but a more painful healing time. ...

My story starts off about 6 months ago when I was forced to take out my horizontal surface piercing under my navel. I loved the piercing so much, and after having it for a year, it started to reject for no apparent reason. The piercing was done at Universal in Ottawa, Ontario, and it really was a great experience. I was told that eventually all surface piercings reject, therefore I was expecting to take it out at some point in my life. After it was gone it was hard to get used to, and I missed having something there. I ...

Okay so since I was in about seventh grade I wanted my belly button done. I attempted to ask my parents but they said it would "kill me" and I was too much of a "crybaby" to get any piercing done. So I just let go of the whole idea. By the time of eight grade, everyone wanted a piercing to be "cool" and the idea of a belly sprung back up in my head. So I decided to share my idea with my best friends, we obviously couldn't get our parents to take us so we decided it would ...

I was 16 at the time of my first (well, only) belly-button piercing. Aside from my ears (once on each and one old closed up upper cartilage piercing), I'd never had anything else done. My mom, 38 at the time, had her belly button pierced when I was a little kid about 12 so when I asked her about it, I knew it wouldn't be a problem for me to get mine done. I got my piercing in Muncie Indiana; I can't remember the name of the place, but the shop seemed clean enough and the people there ...

When I was about 9 years old, I went to spend Christmas holidays with my relatives in Virginia. My cousin had just gotten her navel pierced, and I was instantly hooked on the idea of getting mine done. I loved how it looked, and at the time piercings (other than your earlobes) weren't a common thing in my small town. Since I was only 9, and my parents are extremely strict, I didn't even bother to ask if I could get it done. Few years pass, I turn 13. Whatever, I'm now a teenager, and I still want my navel ...

I began, after having my nipple pierced, with the intention of having my navel pierced diagonally. Nothing much really happened for a while, but then my girlfriend got hers pierced on a spur of the moment. Two weeks later, I wanted mine done. I worried about whether it looks feminine, or 'poofy', and my Dad still can't believe I've got 'a bird's piercing'. Despite this I love my navel and its a big part of me. The empty feeling of my torso is gone- I love how it looks. Friends I showed said they thought it would look feminine, but ...

I had wanted my belly button (navel) pierced for a year or two before I got it done. I was tossing up ideas of placement, how many holes and of course how much it would absolutely cane. I contacted my friend Moodle a few days before I wanted to get it done and we arranged bus timetables and such, so we'd actually have some form of transport (the Adelaide Hills are horrible for public transport). She discussed with me that her piercer, Tim at Hairhouse Warehouse would be the best. She had been pierced by him for many of her ...

At fifteen I finally got up the courage and parental consent to get my navel pierced. My sister had it done, a few of my friends had it done, but I had never really thought of it as something I wanted. I will admit I saw it as something that only the popular, pretty girls at my high school did and did not see it fitting in with my labret, nostril hoop, eyebrow ring, and heavily pierced ears, but in early September 2005 I was on my way to get my navel pierced and eyebrow double pierced. Things went like ...

My mother has always been back and forth about piercings. When I was 8 she told me that I could pierce my earlobes when I turned 13. Well, when my 13th birthday rolled around she changed her mind and told me that I would have to wait until I turned 15. I patiently put up with this game and pierced my lobes when I was 15. The next year I got three cartilage piercings and gauged my lobes. As I got older so did my taste in piercings. I really wanted to get my nostril done. Mom and I discussed ...

When I was in high school I asked my parents if I could get a navel ring.They said no. Additionally they said if I got one that they wouldn't help me pay for college, though Im not sure they were too serious about that. When I got into college, I waited a couple months, but then decided to get one anyway. I researched a good deal on what the experience would be like and what kind of aftercare it would require and what to look for at a piercing studio. I hadn't had any piercings before except for my ears ...
