I got my belly button pierced two and a half weeks ago and could only shower until I got the OK from the Tat Guy. 🙂

Did you get a ring or a bar bell?  
Have you had any issues with it?

Funny, I got my nipples done but I am nervous about doing my belly.  
Of course I knew a girl who had her eyebrow, tongue, and belly done but wouldn’t get her cartilage done with me.

It’s a curved bar with purple stones on both ends. It’s still healing, and will be for months, so it’s kind of itchy right now. I’ve been cleaning it with Dial antibacterial soap and sea salt soaks, which feel great. It didn’t hurt when I had it done - it just stung a little. Did your nipples hurt? (Ouch! 🙂 )

Nope, didn’t hurt a bit.  
Quiet enjoyable really!

I love love love navel peircings (although I do think it hurt - like hell even - but just for a minute.

I probably have more jewelry for my navel than I do for all my other body parts combined.

I want to do an eyebrow next, but that’s where I’m hesitant.
