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

    Have you asked him what he would think of it?

    I took my boyfriend at the time with me, because he's the one that wanted me to get it done.

    I always take someone with me because I freak myself out and need a hand to hold LOL

    The surprise might be nice, but if it were me I would HAVE to take him with me. When I got my tongue pierced I had two people for support lol

    You made me giggle, that's never a bad thing!:heart:

    I think they are way sexy and I don't think it matters how old you are when you have them, just another place to have a pretty jewel. Go for it and don't worry about an age thing, all the ones I've seen I've loved and age was a never a factor when I noticed the jewelry.

    Definitely let us know what you decide, I'd be curious and excited for you, they are just plain fun! As someone above shared, so many cute styles of jewelry to switch it out too or leave in your favorite.

    I'm excited for you....hee hee

    I had one for a couple years. Got it pierced when I was 19 and took it out when I was 22. I'm 24 now and I can still see where the hole was, not sure it will ever fully close up, so that's a bit frustrating for me.

    I'm not a fan. I had one as a teenager, but now I don't really like them. Plus, I never wear anything that shows off my midriff (unless in a bikini).
    That being said, to each his own, and I have a nose ring and tattoos, which other people don't like.
    My Advice: Do what makes you happy :happy:

    I've had mine done since I was 16 (I'm 29 now). Personally I don't really like it as I think it looks a bit naff. I keep meaning to take it out but whenever I do it feels so weird that I put it back in! It's not like anyone sees it other than me and my husband.

    They are cute and sexy so do it if you really want to. You're still in your 20's so enjoy it while you still have the body to make it look good.

    I had a belly button ring, but my body rejected it and pushed it out. Not something the person piercing told me could happen, but I can get it done again but it will have to be behind my scar tissue

    I don't think it's immature, but here's my experience with it.

    I got my belly button pierced when I was about 23ish and had it for a couple of years. Then I got pregnant with my daughter. At around 7 months, the piercing was stretching out and getting uncomfortable, so I removed it. Now, I have a really obnoxious stretch mark in between the holes, and the holes are permanent, so I'm always going to look like I have 2 belly buttons. It's kind of gross.

    I liked it at the time, but I was so self-conscious that I never really showed anyone or wore a bikini or anything, so it was kind of pointless. And now since my belly button is messed up from it, I'm kind of wishing I hadn't gotten it done.

    my uncle seriously got his pierced years ago and I thought it was the strangest thing... I still don't get it.
