How can I pierce my belly button myself? How can I set the needle? :confused:

Don't do it. I did it years ago.. twice and it came out (or ripped out) twice. The only way for you to do it right is to get it done professionally.

Not to mention running the risk of giving yourself a very bad infection.

Please have professionals do this for you.

I know, but my parents won't let me, and then I can't have it done professionally, unless I lie about my age:(

Then don't do it. You could cause serious damage if you do it yourself. Not to mention the consequences with your parents if you have to go to the hospital because of an infection.

That is stupid to even think about!! My parents didn't let me either so I toughened up and waited until I was old enough. Its no big deal all it is, is a piece of freakin metal. And if you are thinking of doing it yourself and something goes wrong then what? You still have to tell your parents what a stupid decision you made and then they will get mad at you, quit crying about it and wait.

Yeah definitely don't do it. I had mine done by a supposed professional, and it hurt really bad. I don't know if she did it wrong, but I fought an infection on it for the whole time I had it... about 4 months, and I was so happy to get rid of it!

You need to wait until you are of an appropriate age for your parents to allow you to get a piercing... You may not like it, but you need to respect their decisions until you are a legal adult.

That's why professional do it with a hollow needle, and know what they are doing... n I got it done again 3 dayys ago it hurt like a , because scar tissue, when I did it myself it was almost 3 years ago it still hurt
