About a month and ten days ago I had my belly button pierced on a wimb by one of my friends, we bought a 14 gauge needs and pierced it ourselves. I was washing it more than once a day and everyone was really impressed by the results. It had been fine up until a few days ago when it started to get really sore, I figured we had pierced too much skin because some of the rings were too short, So I changed it and put in a longer one.
A few hours ago while I was in a class, my ball fell out. So it was basically just chilling in the hole and I was getting really nervous cause I didn't want it to close up, inevitably, it fell out and I went to push it back through and it hurt really bad. And later it just came out.
It has a significant amount of scar tissue and but I really want to get it done again.
Is it possible to get it in the same place? Because I'm more fond of the top piercings and I want the same one. But I've heard that some studios won't pierce scar tissue.
Also I've heard it will hurt less and from some places I've heard it will hurt more.
Does anyone know anything about this?


Thanks,

Next time you think of piercing yourself, don't. That's why people go spend money to get licensed for this stuff. They know what they are doing. :p

Each individual piercer has a different guideline on whether they will pierce through scar tissue. I personally have never been pierced by one that won't, but I know there are some out there that won't. The best thing you can do is call around and ask before you waste time and gas going place to place.

Before you go to get it re-pierced, it is best to wait 3 or so months to ensure that the pervious piercing is fully healed. The last thing you want to do is add another problem on top of an existing problem.

Also, I have been pierced through scar tissue from a previous piercing and it didn't feel any different than tissue that's not scarred.

I got my belly pierced 3 times ! I had really bad scar tissue & they still repierced mine but they said they would have to pierce it slower because its harder piercing through scar tissue. It did hurt more then the first time but it wasn't that bad :D

K hun your first mistake was piercing it yourself. I know for a fact you put ut self in risk for hepititus and many other infectous diseases. I'm not sure that parlor's will pierce scar tissue. I have a scar on my belly button from a dog bite but it's not noticeable and I already checked with a couple parlors and they say that the scar I have is not going to interfere with the piercing since it's not even in the place the needle would pass through. Just be careful and get it done for ceral.

Hiya!

Well I did it myself too :)
But it went infected and blah blah,
But yes you can do it over a scar,
My scar was the size of a 50pence so it was quite large & I had mine done fine, & they told me to keep it in 12 weeks as it was quite alarge scar and takes longer to heal

Although lately I'm abit worried because it looks like my skins shrunk so.. but it didn't hurt at all ! :)

Hope I helped & if anyone knows or could advise me why my skin looks like its shrunk and my bar looks so big, I've only had it redone 14 weeks ago so I'm worried :)
