    Since you posted this in teens I am going to guess you might be a minor. Therefor, I am going to suggest you don't do this at all. Not sure where you are but I am assuming you are wanting to do this yourself because you live somewhere where you must have a parents permission. And that you have been unable to get it. If I am wrong then ignore that bit of advice and skip to below.

    Besides placing it wrong you could subject yourself to infection. It can end up being a very painful thing. You really should have a reputable professional do this. You need to make sure everything is properly sterilized and that can really only be done by a pro. Even then there is no guarantee that you won't end up with it getting infection but at least you have a heck of a lot better chance.

    The best process is to have a professional piercer do your piercings as it will lessen the likelihood of serious infection.

    NOT A GOOD IDEA.
    I did it, and it was not the smartest thing ever. Lol
    I would just go and pay the 30 dollars to have it done by a pro.
    It's less expensive than getting infections.

    Less expensive and less dangerous. Some infections can kill you if left untreated.

    I have nipples, belly and... as well. (I'm male). Get it done professionally-it is (usually) performed as a surgical procedure = sterility.

    the easiest and most quick is done by a professional piercer-by laying down the skin and musculature of your tummy is relaxed and it is easier for the marking process (piercers will mark you first and then pierce after you have viewed the proposed position).

    cheers

    love to see the result when you get it done.!

    Your best bet is to just ask your parents if you can go get it done. And see what they say. Because I did my friends and everything went wrong and it got infected really bad.. so just ask your parents for like your birthday or something!!

    Eeeek. I've done this before when I was 13 with the earring I got my ear piercd with. I suggest you don't do it. I was too chicken to do it fast, and the earring was dull and.. it just wasn't a good scenario for moi. I'd rather go to a professional. If your parents say no, get an adult friend or a cool family member to just take you and get it anyway. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is with a belly button getting done.

    I've pierced my cartlidge twice and my right tragus. Neither have gotten infected. And I'm about to go pierce my bellybutton and my rook by myself.

    You go for it, but your luck will run out eventually. Not to mention the fact that you could put it in crooked and it will look bad and you'll have to take it out anyway.

    Its better to get it done by a pro. Less risk for infection, and less risk that it will look bad. If you don't want to pay the fees to get pierced, then go to school and learn how to do it, and get licensed.

    See.
    So, I'll keep posted as it gets older.
    If it gets infected or anything.
    But its going good so far.
    And it hurt.

    It looks kind of crooked. Did you do it yourself or have a friend do it?

    I took the picture at a weird angle.
    But looking at it in a mirror, its straight.
    And I did it myself.

    Good luck with that. I hope it doesn't get infected, but piercing yourself isn't the best of ideas. :)

    Yes, and everyone is entitled to make mistakes.
