The Pain of an Infected Belly Piercing

by Megan

(Iron mountain, MI, United States)

I got my belly button pierced when I was 11 years old and I’m now 12 and it’s been done healing for 2 weeks

When I first got it pierced it got infected because I’m allergic to stainless steal so I would always get scabs and eventually the ring was rotting so it just broke in half and now I can only wear bioplast, 14k gold, or titanium belly rings.

I can only get them on www.bodycandy.com or at the Jcpenny store in my town.

  1. OH MY JEEZ! im 19 and i just recently got my 11 years old is too young and pretty weird to see. Damn how generations change to much. When i was 11 nobody had a BELLY BUTTON PIERCING. Dont try to grow up to fast… god thats weird

  2. im getting my naval pieced in about 1 week n im 13. My mum said sure when i first asked her only if i pay for it. The only thing im worried about is it rejecting or getting severly infected. I gave my ears pieced when i was 10 and closed up when i was 11 and a half. When i was 12 i repieced them my self and now they’re fine, no problems. I really want my belly pieced and no one in years 7, 8, 9 has theirs done. Im really excited and getting a barbell done. Jw what place to get it done on the goldcoast, please relpy.
    thanxs amber.

  3. im 12 and got mine done when i was 11 and had heaps of problems its now my 5th month and its going good but im still going to a tatoo parlor to check out my belly ring better be safe then sorry 🙂

  5. You were eleven!? Jesus almighty. That’s disgustingly young for a naval piercing. I cannot believe your mother allowed that or that any reputable piercer would pierce a CHILD.

  6. i pierced my belly button three days ago,

    and i did it myself, without parental knowlage.
    and i upgauged in two days.
