I'm planning on getting my belly pierced, but the problem i Syrups that I have stretch marks on my stomach... It's not so bad but it's still noticeable and the stretch marks are only on my middle section... I can't show my stomach without covering the stretch marks with make up (ex. Dermablend or a heavy duty Concealer) but with that on I'm good to go... Also this summer I'm planning on wearing a two piece with a laced cover up so that helps also... The stretch marks were from my pregnancy and I miss my body before I had my son who is three now... I've had it pierced about five years back but had to take it out for pageants I did when I was younger....

    I had mine pierced before I had my son. I probably won't get it re-pierced just because I have scar tissue there now and it would probably hurt like a MFer, and because I try not to draw more attention to my stretch marks than I have to. I wear a 2 piece, no cover up, but I'm not trying to basically make my stomach, the one part of my body I'm actually insecure about, a focal point.

    If you just want to do it, for you, then go for it. I know when I had mine, I liked showing it off, so if I'm not going to show it off, I don't really see the point. But that's just me :)

    As for wearing makeup over your stretch marks---girlfriend. Don't worry about it. If you look closely, just about everybody has stretch marks somewhere. It just means you had a baby and you don't have those special "no stretchmark" genes. No big deal! Plus, if you're going to be in the pool, the makeup will probably come off/start to run/look awkward. I miss my pre-baby body too, but I'm well on my way to looking even better than I did before I had my son, and those stretch marks are just our badges of honor!

    It depends on you.... are you doing it for YOU to look at, or to show off to others? If it's for you, do it because you know all your imperfections and you can be proud of them.... if you are doing it to impress others... I would say think twice, not because of how it looks but because it may not be the best reason. I have always had a bit of a belly, so when I chose to get mine pierced, I knew it was just for me to enjoy and didn't care to show it off to others. Hope this helps
