I would suggest you get a PTFE barbell for your navel piercing and wear that for as long as your sports schedule lasts. PTFE is a biocompatible surgical Teflon that will flex with movement and prevent any damage from occurring during contact play, that in concert with taped gauze over the piercing and you should be good to go. Standard jewellery (barbells and rings) don't like impacts and is very rough on the new piercing when it's trying to heal. Getting the piercing sooner than the season start would have been the better bet but for now consider the PTFE as your best option. See your professional body piercer for more assistance.

Does a belly button piercing stop pregnancy?

Not unless it stops you from having sex. AnswerIt doesn't stop pregnancy, but if you are pregnant you will need to take your piercing out. You know how around like 6 months or so you get that cute little snooze button? Well that's why haha.

How do you convince your parents to let you get your Industrial pierced you have begged and they keep saying no I have my belly pierced and they agreed to that?

It couldn't hurt to go online and learn all you can about proper piercing techniques and aftercare... That would be smart for you to do in the mean time anyway. In order to try to successfully convince them to change their minds, you need to know why they are objecting in the first place. For example, I don't know if their logic is "We said you could have one piercing, and you used it on a belly button piercing" or "belly buttons are hidden whereas industrials are not, and we don't want her to have trouble at job interviews and so forth" or what. If you know the REASON for their objection, then you can formulate your rebuttal such that it addresses their specific concerns. "You let me have my belly pierced, so why not an industrial too!?" is not a good argument, that's for sure. It might also help to include them in the process. Even if you know they would say no, at least OFFER to let them come with you when you do it and meet the piercer, etc. In fact, if you have a good piercer, it would probably only be a good thing if your parents met him/her and saw how clean and sterile and professional everything was at his/her studio. (This is, of course, assuming you'd find a good piercer with a good studio!)

Can you get a belly button ring without getting your belly button pierced?

When you get your belly button pierced, the person doing it will generally, if not always, use a stainless steel belly button ring. At least they will if they're a professional, and if not you don't really need to get a piercing from them anyway.This will have to stay in until the piercing is properly healed and then you can put in a clear or plastic retainer, available in different colors.

Do you have to have an inner belly button to get it pierced Because I have an outter but would love to have it done.?

You certainly do not need to get your belly button pierced if you have an outtie.....The pressure against the jewelry will cause the jewelry to eventually migrate...You may get 2 months or two years out of it, but my bet is on the two months....One day you wil be in the shower washing your belly button and you will feel your jewelry in your hand, no blood, no pain, and no piercing....If your piercer is straight up and honest he will tell you these things.....Hope this helps...
