hey girl,
i have my belly button periced and from my experince and others that have had thers done i would say that it didnt hurt me, it was a quick pinch and it was all over, it goes very fast and you get all worked up for a quick pinch. Trust me i was very nervous and then after that second i was like why was i gettin so worked up for that? on the other hand people have told me it hurt them. It may also be how you deal with pain.

It's MUCH more painful than ears. They use a clamp and pull the skin away from your body, then push a needle thru. I found it very painful and pleasurable simultaneously. Mine is pierced thru the side instead of the top and I have always liked it. It has been there about 8 years or so. The worst part is the healing- you must clean it by turning it with soap on it in the shower. It is very very sore for a few weeks, especially the first week. You won't want to touch/bother it, but you must to clean it.

I had mine pierced when i was 19. it didn't hurt terribly, but wasn't comfortable either. a lot of people are sensitive to the "nickel' that most piercings are done with and have a hard time "healing" as i did. i kept mine in for a little over a year before giving it up. i got pregnant about 2 months later, and now 6 years later i have a scar. not only do i have a scar, but the skin between the holes of the piercing is hangy and loose. i'm not sure there's anything to prevent that. good luck, if you want my honest advice, it's "cute" but i'm sure your bare belly button is too. no need to obviously draw attention to the obviously already cuteness:)

i got mine done almost four years ago, and from what i remember it didn't hurt much at all. the only thing you'll really feel is when they put the clamp on. they shove the needle through and get the jewelry in so quick that you hardly feel it. i can't imagine the scar would be too bad, just a little indentation where the hole once was... i've had my ears pierced altogether thirteen times and if you can survive getting your ears pierced, you'll be fine with this. your nerves are what will get you most. if you want to get it done, i recommend it. good luck!

I got mine done just a month ago and it wasn't that bad. The bad part is healing. It takes up nine or twelve months to completely heal. You have to clean it up to four times a day to avoid infection which is easy. It is sore after wards believe me

i got mine for $30. It was painful, but you don't really remember the pain later. if you get pregnant you can wear a longer barbell. allows stretching.
