okay so if you've had/have your bellybutton pierced.....

It did hurt, and was still sore the next day, but it wasn't terribly painful - more like a graze or cut that hurts until it heals if you bump it.
The biggest problem I had was that it got infected and was pretty nasty for a month or more. Make sure you get it done somewhere reputable and ask them about the best way to prevent infection. I found that salt baths (using a cup of hot water with salt and turning it upside down over my belly button) helped get rid of the infection eventually.
I really liked it after it settled down, but I did find that it would get a bit rad and painful if I wore pants that buttoned up over where the ring was. I haven't had a ring in there for years now but it still looks just the same. Don't expect it to go away if you get sick of it - unlike my nose piercing which closed up very quickly after I stopped wearing jewellery there.
And, congrats on your weight loss!0 -
I used to have one, really didn't hurt much. Getting cartilage pierced hurt a lot more than the belly button.0

Don't wear jeans - wear yoga pants or something equally comfortable, and no tight-shirts. I got my lower belly pierced when I was 12 (seriously, lol), and I still have it now, at 22. I had my top pierced as well, but it got ripped out in a sporting accident. It's now scarred, but I don't regret it. :flowerforyou:0
