The best tip I have is have it done professionally. You really don't want the infection that can be caused by doing it yourself.

modular01 agrees: My sentiments exactly. There is a reason that piercing is a profession.

DIY piercing is generally a bad idea. Most people do it wrong even when given good instructions. If your parent's aren't letting you get one, wait till you're 18.

Have you ever seen an infected navel...very scary. That is probably what will happen if you attempt to do it yourself. I know you probably do not want to hear this but I totally agree with the previous posts, you should wait and get it done professionally. You may even change your mind by the time your 18!

Hey. Im only 13 and one of my friends did it herslef last year and it was done fine. She did it and it didnt get infected. But her mom saw it and made her take it out. It really sucked so now her mom wont let her get any piercings. It sucks. But I got mine done pro and I just say to keep it really clean but dont over clean it because then it swells up. Any other quetions you can e-mail me if you want to. My e-mail is EMAIL REMOVED

DO NOT do it yourself. There are many risks such as: Infections, damage pain, ect. You must get it done perfessionally!

If you have ever done any reading on any kind of piercings there are several things to consider and the above posts are right on in saying dont do it yourself. You can cause partial paralysis if not done in the exact right spot. Not to mention the pain, infection and all the other things that go along with it. Just let a professional do it. Having that done now a days is not that expensive and you will possibly save yourself some medical bills in the meantime!!

If she wants to do it its her desicion. If she wants to deal with it let her.

Ladyviper disagrees: You don't let a child do something that could hurt them, that is how you lived to be 13.
J_9 disagrees: So now we let kids do what they want to do when they want to do it. LMAO, it is obvious you are not a parent!
Rockabilly1955mama disagrees: It would be her decsion to kill a person to.

Hershey she asked us our opinion, so we are giving it. She isnt having an issue with our answers, why should you be? She is obviously on the fence about whether to do it herself or not, and this is how she is choosing to work thru it and make a decision.
