Wait at least 2 months. Longer would be better. Water is filled with bacteria so going swimming with a new piercing will greatly increase the risk for infection which can lead to rejection.

Does a belly button piercing hurt more then a lip piercing?

I have both my lip and belly button pierced. I had my belly button pierced with a hoop and my lip pierced with a bar/stud. The belly button was more irritating then the lip because a hoop piercing requires the piercer to clamp it shut and fiddle around with a new pierced part instead of just screwing a ball on. I recommend any new piercings to be with a bar/stud as it is quicker and less irritating. Put it this way, I'm going for a 2nd lip piercing and not another belly button piercing ;)

If you are an avid swimmer will having your navel pierced be a problem?

everytime you have your belly button pierced, they say not to go swimming at least after 4 weeks but if you have to, then you must clean it more regularly with a special cream. id suggest going to your local piercing shop and ask them to tell you if it would be ok, or how much time you would have to have off swimming. you could also then ask them what kind of special soap to wash it with if youre going to be swimming!


You pierced your belly button with a safety pin how do you get the belly button ring in?

If that's possible at all it will be extremely difficult since the needle used to pierce belly buttons is a larger Gage than safety pins. I recommend going to a tattoo/ body piercing shop, paying the $25 and having it done correctly.

What should you do after getting a belly piercing?

I would suggest going to the emergency room for medical assistance, if you mean a "navel piercing" then follow the written aftercare instructions provided to you by your professional body piercer. FYI no one does "Belly Piercing", if you find a place that does "Belly Piercing" that's not the place to get your "navel piercing" from. Seriously

What do you do after a belly piercing when going swimming the next day?

If it's a lake, dont do it, it will get infected from all the bacteria! But pools are less risky, your piercing may become irritated from the chlorine though. Sojust make sure to clean it when you're done swimming.

Do you have to take out a belly button piercing when going though security?

No. You should be able to clear security as long as you don't have a whole bunch of costume jewellery on. If they ask you can simply show them the jewellery and you should be fine.


What if your belly button piercing size is to small for your jewelry?

Well I would suggest going to your local professional body piercer and have your piercing stretched up with a taper (don't worry it doesn't hurt) , the average size or gauge is 14g . If your jewellery is 16g or smaller then it's too small for the piercing and can pose a danger of tearing the piercing (something you don't want to happen).
