Hi everyone, I'm planning on getting my belly button done soon! Because my mom's going to get another tattoo and she said I could get my navel pierced. I just have a couple quick questions for you's who have gotten them done. If you could pleasee answer themm!!

1.) What is a reasonable price range.. like what is tooooo muchh ?


2.) is a hoop like a ring or barbell better (most people tell me barbell's are best)


3.) Many people tell me it hurts :(.. does it really? And what are some tipps to not get it infected ?


Please answer these.

First of all I paid 50.. I would recommend a barbell because I hoop gets caught on everything and it hurts after but if you keep it cleaned then you will have no issues...

I would say $50 is about right.

I found that ring was better as did not catch on trousers, belts etc

And just use lots of salt water to clean.It does hurt but only like having your ears peirced so won't last long.

I wouldn't do it. My friend got hers done and has had to get it redone three times because they push themselves out.

I had mine done years ago, so I don't remember the price, but $50 (USD) sounds about right. I had mine done with a barbell and never put in a ring; I liked the barbell because it was a little flatter and didn't seem to catch on a lot of stuff. But, never having a ring, I can't say a ring is better/worse. Probably best to go with whichever you like! I was told to keep mine clean with Bactine - NOT hydrogen peroxide EVER. Bactine disinfects and keeps it clean, but doesn't sting when applied. Clean it often and you shouldn't have any trouble. If you notice an infection setting in, get it treated ASAP.

The ring is really really simple to clean but the barbell is what I got and mine was just fine. Mine did push out a year after I got it and I had to get it redone. It hurt a little more the 2nd time but the first time wasn't bad. It was over in a matter of seconds and it didn't hurt at all afterward. And don't use too much salt! That is definitely bad. It's all totally worth it because it looks so cute when you wear a bikini or whatever, you know?

I just got my belly button peirced about 3 weeks ago.
It doesn't hurt all that much.
Just feels like someone is pinchin you hard on your belly button.
It WILL be sore for a little while after you get it done... thats OK though.. its going to be sore.
Just make sure you clean it everyday and move it up and down.

I paid 99 dollars.. including jewlery and aftercare.
It doesn't hurt, in fact, the piercing itself doesn't even hurt.
The clamp that they use to hold your belly button up hurts! Haha
I just closed my eyes and it was tiny little stinging, TRUST ME its over in like
2 seconds.
Very little pinch.
Use the aftercare, just clean with q-tip everyday
Therse no after pain, I thin kthere might be a little after you first get the piercing
For like 10 min
But um yea, just take a shower regularyy, don't play wit hit too much!
Its such a cute piercing I love mine
