OK so I need me belly pierced so me friend is going to do it for me but how much skin needs to be pierced HELP ME PLEASE!:eek:

Look at pictures.. you'll c. And I wouldn't let your mate do it (unless they're profecional) because if it infects they'll get the blame.. I've been planning on doing by own but I haven't got round to it

Don't get pierced by anyone but a professional, period. That is why they have licenses and training. Your friend does not have the equipment to sterilize everything, and it more than likely will end up in infection.

This is what an infected belly button can look like :

Ouch! And those can be the results of letting your friends do it. Then you have to go to the doctor, get antibiotics, and take the piercing out anyway.

Why don't you want to get it done by a licensed piercer? Your parents don't want you to have it? If that is the case, what your parents say, goes! You either need to wait until you are 18 and get it done, or wait until your parents give you consent.
