belly button?

Question

im going to get my belly botton peirced whats some of the things i need to be aware of and how much does it cost.

Answer 1

I had mine done for $50 i believe. Just beware where you get it done. The people that did mine did it toooo deep and my friends not deep enough. Mine got reallllly infected because i was told to put "peroxide" on it to help the healing. Peroxide actually kills new skin as it grows in and made it worse..i ended up having to have it taken out cleaned and repeirced back in...no fun! My friends was not deep enough so it has started working its way out. Also look at the jewelry they will put in when piercing. My ring was not the right type of metal and was super soft so it got bent against my pants and when sitting down. Make sure you get something hard enough to hold its shape in rough conditions hahaha...hope this helps

Answer 2

I have my belly button pierced 4 times, and they all healed beautifully and I've never had a single problem with any of them.


When you go into the tattoo parlor, you'll most likely fill out the forms saying that you're of legal age, if you're allergic to anything, etc. etc...


Then they'll take you to the room designated for piercings, and with a marker, they'll draw a tiny dot on your belly button so you can decide if that's the spot where you want your piercing to be.

Once you're happy with the location, you'll lay back on a table, or a reclined chair, and they'll put a clamp on the little flap of skin where they've drawn the dot.

The clamp will probably resemble a pair of scissors, and they normally put the clamp on fairly tightly, so once it is on, you'll feel like it's pinching you. But don't worry, if the pinching feeling is bothering you, that's as much pain as you'll feel, and it will be over before you know it!

They'll take the straight needle that they do the actual piercing with, and push it through where the dot was drawn on. I didn't feel this at all, because of the clamp being there. Then they push the straight needle out using the jewelry that will remain in your belly button, and once they put the ball on the jewelry, you're all done!



They should give you a piece of paper with instructions on how to care for your new piercing. Just make sure to follow these instructions, and the only thing you need to be very careful of, is to not let it get caught on your pants, or any other clothing.

The more it gets bumped around, the longer it will take to fully heal. So just be careful.


And also, do not take that jewelry out to change it until your piercing is healed. This normally takes about 6 months. Changing it early can increase your risk of infection.

And never use rubbing alcohol or peroxide to clean your piercing.


Good luck! :)

You will want to listen to the piercer well. Make sure to follow aftercare instructions well and if you have problems, don't be afraid to call them or another local piercer.

Be sure the piercer you go to is trained and certified and that they practice safe and clean procedures. Ask any questions you have while you are there and be sure to get an aftercare sheet.

The cost will vary based on where you go and the type of jewelry used (i.e. titanium costs more than surgical stainless steel). Expect to pay anywhere from $45-$60 and you should tip your piercer.

Answer 4

get it done by a piercer. make sure the needles and clamps (tools in general) are steralized and that the expiration dates on them are still good. Wear clothing that sits below your bellybutton so it doesn't irriate the piercing while it's healing. It's also good to invest in some sea salt spray that most piercing places have...it helps keep the piercing clean and relaxes the pain. It should cost anywhere from 40-50 bucks. Ask friends if they know of a good tattoo/piercing place before you get it done.

Answer 5

60-80 dollars depending on the jewelry. Use a hoop rather than a bar if possible - the seem to heal quicker... Hopefully your wear low cut jeans so the snaps, buttons, whatever don't snag.. Just watch for snagging.. don't touch the piericing other than to clean it and you should have no problems... oh and only use titanium or surgical steal jewelry until it is healed.. fully healed is 6-8 months... but everyone is different...

Answer 6

it feels weird when you get it done because is not like your ear's and your hand when they get hurt its you belly botton....make sure you clean it to avoid infection and chances are it will still get infected at least once....but dont give up hope and remove it...i find that my friends that change there belly button ring all the time are the ones that get infections...

Answer 7

The less fat, the more pain. It should cost anywhere from $30-45, depending on the city. The scar tissue from the piercing can cause a lot of pain during pregnancy.

Answer 8

You should be aware that the amount of pain depends on the person. It can take years to heal and sleeping is going to be done on your side.

Answer 9

Sometimes peoples bodies reject the piercing and over time the piercing is actually "pushed" out of the body. This can also happen when the piercing is not done correctly (not pierce deep enough).

Answer 10

It should cost anywhere from 50 to 70 dollars depending on where you go and what you get. You should get a stainless steel bar unless you are allergic to that. When I got mine they told me to wash it with this soap they gave me but that just irritated me so I just used soap and water. Always wash your hands before messing with it, especially while its healing. When you go to change the bar, always sanitize it before inserting it.
