ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990715/navbrave.html"> About three weeks ago, my husband and I took a vacation to Florida. I was amazed at the number of tattoo and body piercing shops that I saw. For about a year I had been talking about getting my navel pierced, and now the opportunity finally presented itself. The first night we were there, we went to the different shops, got prices, and me the piercers. I wanted the chance to "shop around" and decide where to get it done. We went into this one shop and went back to the piercing booth. The piercer was not ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990715/navbelly.html"> I remember when I was like 14 I first wanted a piercing of some sort. My mom always said no and it looked horrible walking around with jewlry in the body. I wasn't going to give up though. I knew that if I begged her long enough she would eventually let me get one done. I was 15 and I was in the car with my mother we were on our way to the hospital because I had to go to pre-op. because i was getting my tonsiles out the next day. My mom was talking about ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990715/navsmuth.html"> I got my navel pierced about 5 weeks ago and so far am very happy with it. I'd been on the web for months trying to decide what piercing I wanted. I narrowed it down to a tongue, eyebrow or navel. Then I decided definately I wanted the navel. I then set about scouring the phone book looking for piercers. I called about 10, and liked 3 of them, one of which I was already intending to go to, as it wasn't too far away from me, (I live in Melbourne, Australia) it seemed like a very ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990715/navhorr.html"> I had wanted to get a belly-button ring for ever and finally decided to go through with it when I was eleven. I wanted to get my navel pierced for my 12th birthday, but of course my mother was totally against it. So after about two months of begging she agreed to let me have it done if I kept my grades up blah blah blah. All the way to the piercing place, though, my mother kept reminding my of her friends that said how excruciating the pain was and how horrible it was and how much ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990715/navel13.html"> I'm 15 now, but I thought about piercing my navel since i was about 11. I don't know why I liked navel piercings so much compared with other piercings...but I knew I wanted one. We were at dinner with my whole family and I looked at my mom and blurted out, "I'm going to pierce my belly button!" I thought she was going to freak, but she just said, "ok" and went back to eating. She thought it was just a faze. After thinking about it for a while, I chickened out. The decision probably would have ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990701/navself.html"> When I was 12 or 13, I decided that I wanted to get my navel pierced. I don't remember where I got the idea from; I just decided that they were cute and I wanted one. However, I knew that my mother would never let me, so I decided to wait. At fourteen, I did my first self-piercing. It was a 3rd hole in my lobe; nothing exciting. But after a while I began putting more earrings in by myself. Within a few months I did my own cartilage and had several lobe piercings. It was then ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990701/resnav.html"> I am from one of the most reserved families in America. So you can just imagine my mother's shock and horror when I told her I was going to have my navel pierced. I talked about this for over a year until I finally got the nerve to do it. Something about it excited me. The look of them I find appealing and sexy. I have never been a follower, so that was not it. I wanted to be different in some way, have something not everyone else has. And keeping it hidden doesn't bother me. But ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990615/navkrysr.html"> I guess you could say that the first time belly button piercing crossed my mind was when I was twelve. I don't remember where I got the idea from, I think I had just noticed it somewhere and thought "Cool, I'd really like one of those!!" So, I used to sit in my room at night with the door locked trying to shoce this huge needle through the skin above my navel, numbing the area with ice before hand. I never got the needle all the way through though, as I found the skin used to 'stick' ...

As I was losing weight and returning to normal I kept thinking about doing something such as a piercing or a tatoo to show off my new and improved figure. I honestly wanted a tattoo at first and talked to a tatoo artist (my brother-in-law) about creating a tribal design for me to look at to be sure that was what I wanted.At about the same time my older brother came home for Spring break. He has many tatoos (full sleeves on both arms) and piercings (septum, nipples, tongue,tragus). ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/07-navel/990615/navdare.html"> It started out as a dare from some of my friends at work who had all had their navel pierced. They had all gotten it done in their teens, and I was already in my late twenties. The person that I knew best recommended me to go to the place that he went to, to get his navel pierced. In case he wants his identity to remain anonymous, I will call him Bob. So Bob and I went down to this nice little store in Manhattan. At first I was hoping on going to some nice hospital-like ...
