Hello MFP's!

I want a bellybutton piercing... my opinion is that it looks cute... even sexy...
But at the same time, I feel as tho its a bit teenager"ish" .. (that's what's stopping me from getting it) and was just wondering what everyone else thought?? Is it childish? Cute? Sexy? Immature?

    I love belly button piercings. So cute! The great thing about piercings is that if you decide you don't like it later on you can always take it out.

    I've had mine pierced since I was at my highest weight.

    It makes me confident. And feel much more attractive naked.

    I would totally do it. Doesn't hurt much, either.

    And you can get some seriously cute jewelry. [:

    I think it makes everyone look better, and it tends to make your stomach look longer as well.
    I am a big baby so I'll probably never get one, but I wish I could!

    I used to work in the medical field and you will NOT BELIEVE the bacteria that grows in a bellybutton. It is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Its a nice warm, moist area. While it may be "Cute" (to some people), it is a area that never heals 100% and everyone who gets a peircing will eventually fight a infection on it. I have yet to meet someone who has had one who has never had a infection, small or large. If you get it, be prepared to take care of it. Lots of cleaning and stuff......

    I got mine pierced the first time when I was 19. Took it out for a while (trying to appease my very religious family), decided I still wanted it in... but the hole had already closed. :frown: So I got it re-pierced when I was 22 or 23 (can't remember for sure). Now I'm 29 and it's still there. :happy: I love it! I have several different, super cute rings for it, but I usually keep my fav in... it has Eeyore on it. lol I'm a collector, so it (and my baby Eeyore tat) are my constant companions. lol I say do it if you want it. :smile:

    I got mine in April, ITS STILL HEALING!
    They are cute I think, and if you don't like the way your belly button hole looks, its a great way to cover it. LOL

    Becareful when you exercise tho, it can get infected and annoying sometimes. C:

    I had one pre children and I loved it, I took it out early on in pregnancy with first child in case of infection but I've always been left with a scar. One midwife asked me if I'd had keyhole surgery! That said I did love it and it was cute but keep it clean and if you gain weight take it out!

    Well, I'm a teenager and I don't like it.
    I'll never pierce my belly button, I'd rather pierce an eyebrow.
    I don't like it probably because I'm not too much into sparkling things, and that's what belly buttons are.

    I've always wanted one but never had my parents approval. I'm now turning 26 next month and when i weigh 130 (15lbs away from my goal weight) i'm going to get it pierced. If i don't like it later I'll take it out...but it's less permanent than a tattoo (which i also want haha)

    I'm not into piercings, but even if I were, I'd be cautious about belly button piercing! I heard it becomes ugly if your belly ever gets stretched and shrinks back (e.g. pregnancy, losing weight).

    I had one when I was about 22 and then my body rejected it after 8 weeks - it never healed basically! So it just kept "pushing" its way out until the skin around it was a thin loop. One day, I looked down and saw the skin under my bellybutton spit open! SO strange. Now I have a scar and I cannot re-do it as no good artist would actually attempt it. Oh well. Plus, who wants to draw attention to stretch marks anyhow? lol

    i had it done when i was 16, and was the first person i had seen to get it done. It took bloody AGES to heal, like about 8mths, and then i got bored of it because all of a sudden it became popular (and i couldnt have THAT lol) and took it out.

    I quite like them with a barbel though rather than sparkley jewellery
