Answer 1

When I was a young boy,
Said put away those young boy ways
Now that I'm getting older so much older
I long for those young boy days
With a girl like you
With a girl like you
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby
Just me and you
Come on and make it

Chorus:
Hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good

You don't have to be so exciting
Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah
You always look so inviting
You ain't as green as you are young
Hey baby it's you
Come on girl now it's you
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby
Let's see what we can do
Come on and make it

Chorus:
Hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good

I ain't talkin' no big deals
I ain't made no plans myself
I ain't talkin' no high heels
Maybe we could walkin' around, all day long,
Walkin' around, all day long

Chorus:
Hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
Hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good

Hey, hey

All piercings are easy to infect if you don't take care of them. But often with navel piercings, normal discharge is mistaken for infections. Rejection is the more common issue with navel piercings, where the body will reject and push out the jewelry. Usually if you see this happening, its best to take the jewelry out before problems get worse. The main thing is that you go to a reputable and professional piercer and that you take care of your piercing. Also, never ever be afraid to call him or her with questions and concerns you have about the piercing and your healing.

Whether or not you are old enough for the piercing is decided by state/country laws as well as individual rules set by piercers in your area. Also, since you will have to have parental consent, your parents do have some say in it as well.

As far as height and weight, that doesn't always matter. Even thin girls can be unable to get navel piercings. What matters is the depth and shape of your navel and when you slouch if your stomach creates a fold or crease too close to the navel. A good piercer will be able to tell you if you have the correct anatomy for the piercing or if you will have to take certain precautions when you get it done. Often, if you cannot get a standard navel piercing, inverse navel piercings (on the bottom of the navel) usually work just fine.

Oh and all piercings hurt. Since everyone is different, no one can really tell you what to expect other than a pinching/stinging type feeling. I have 6 navel piercings, 4 were self done when I became a piercer and they weren't THAT bad.
Good luck.

I had mine done when I was 16. To me, it didn't hurt. I barely felt it. But when I had it done, I didn't know the difference between "good" and "bad" places to go. It was infected. I don't think it was because of anything I did because I'm very careful with my piercings and I never had a problem with any others that were done at a "good" place. First off, you have to have a parent with you to be able to get it done. It doesn't always get infected. My best friend has it and she's never had a problem. The first thing you need to do is find a reputable place to go for it. Don't go to the first place you see, and don't go just because one person said they had a good experience. Be sure this is something you want to do and you're responsible enough to take care of it like it needs to be cared for. Or else you're going to end up with a bad scar like me.

Answer 4

OK, I'm a tattoo and body piercing artist. The pain factor is greatly reduced by leaving the forceps on for about a minute before the actual piercing and even if you don't leave them on isn't that bad. It's very quick and if you can stand to get a shot, it's less painful.

I've read a lot of people on here say it hurts bad and if it hurt them, they were pierced wrong. The forceps should not be clamped together but a rubber band should be used to hold them in place. Clamping will bruise.

Answer 5

It doesn't hurt to get it pierced if they know what they are doing. It DOES hurt if it gets an infection in it, and this can be very dangerous. It also does get infected very often. 15 is too young, shops will not do it until you are 18, and you don't want someone who is not a professional to do it. Besides, you change a lot by the time that you are 18, whether you believe this now or not. If you get it done and take it out, you will have a scar and scar tissue. Just wait would be my best advice.

Answer 6

it hurts, but not a whole lot. I was sooo nervous that I didn't even realize when the girl actually pierced it. It does get infected alot...but, if you wash it with antibacterial soap and soak it with sea salt water solution (1 teaspoon SEA salt to one cup warm water) for about 3 minutes/day, it should be fine. I got mine done about 6 months ago, and it is not infected any more and is healed completely.

You are proably very thin, so I am sure it will look great!

Answer 7

I honestly think u should not git ur belly button pierced because I have a 13 year old neighbor and she pierced her belly button last year and she said it hurts a lot and u'll regret it when u pierce it.
I also have a sister who has a 10 year old friend and she pierced her belly button and she says that whenevr she takes it out it hurts like crap! If u really want to git ur belly button pierced ask ur mom or dad 4 permission , but u r responsible for the actions u take.

Answer 8

Of course there will be some pain, but not much. The actual piercing feels like a bee sting, once it is actually pierced, you will be a little tender, but not too bad. You should go for it. As long as you follow the care instructions given by the piercer it will not get infected, just be sure to go to a clean, sterile place. I have had several piercings and the belly button hurt the least besides my ears.

Answer 9

Getting your bellybutton pierce doesn't hurt that bad. I had it done just a couple months ago, and it hasnt gotten infected. You have to make sure you clean in every day to prevent it from getting infected. The piercer will tell you how to clean it so make sure you follow instructions (i use sea salt mixed with water every morning and night). If you pinch the top skin of your belly button slightly hard, thats how it feels. The needle goes in quick, the worst part is when they take the needle out and replace it with the belly button ring. The whole thing takes about 1 minute and then it's done.

Make sure it's a clean and steril enviornment that you get it done at. Make sure the piercer wears gloves and that the needle is in a package before he takes it out.

Answer 10

I have my belly pierced. I am also gettin my liscense to pierce and I can personally tell you as long as you follow your after care instuctrions and get it done professionally there is little risk for infection. Your mouth ( labre , lips , tounge ) stands more risk of getting infected.
It is painful somewhat not really it feels more like a pinch. All piercings hurt but the upside is one poke your done rather than repeditive like tats ... It is more the anticipation of the pain than the pain itself ... and the worse part is the uncomfortableness of the clamps you"ll feel those more than anything.
I think with your weight level it would look nice.

Answer 11

I am the wussiest person I know about needles and pain, and it barely hurt at all. Just make sure the person who does it is experienced. The girl who did mine was so calming and reassuring, it was done before I even knew it! As for the infection part: my sister and I got them done at the same time. I took care of mine, cleaned it every day and used the salt-soak like they said, and haven't had a problem. She neglected hers, and it got so infected it looked like she had a marble under the skin above the piercing. She had to get antibiotics from the doctor to clear it up, and they had to drain it. (eww)
