Is it bad to get your belly button pierced if your super skinny?

Not at all, if you have the right body for it. The only reason a navel piercing would be "bad" is if you have a body that interferes with the healing process. To see if your body is suited for a navel piercing, you should:Sit down in a chair or at your bedside, in a relaxed positionLook to see if your belly button gets tucked under your skin (most girls thing these rolls of skin are "fat," but anyone can have this effect, no matter what they weigh)If your belly button tucks under, your body is probably not fit for a navel piercing.Another way to check is to see if you have a horizontal dent/line that goes across your abdomen (naturally or when sitting). If so, then your body is probably not a good candidate for a navel piercing.

Can a ten year old get a belly pierce?

Piercing the navel of anyone under the age of 15 is generally the call of the professional body piercer doing the piercing and is based on the level of development of the individual who is getting the piercing. Several things come in to play, maturity of the person getting pierced and the physical development of that person. Too often young girls who want there navel pierced just are not mature enough to look after the piercing to avoid infections, cross contamination and promote general good piercing health. This is a fact, it's not fiction. The last thing any professional body piercer wants to do is to preform a piercing on someone who clearly isn't smart enough or focused enough to look after the piercing. The next point is how developed is the navel, if the navel is too shallow due to the level of growth of the person wanting the piercing then the piercing will end up being too shallow and much more subject to irritation and infection from the irritation. It's best to wait a year and look at the navel after a year of growing has taken place. Rushing in to s piercing where the conditions are not right or conducive to proper healing is just a waste of time, money and effort. That's why professional body piercers reserve the right to refuse to pierce anyone they feel is not ready to look after or retain a piercing. So if you get sent away now you know what the reasons may be, so you are not too disappointed, it could simple just be a matter of time.

Do you have to be on your menstrual cycle for more than a year to have you navel pierced?

There's no relation between menstrual cycle and navel piercings, however there are important issues regarding age. Even if the local laws are more lax, it is not appropriate to have a navel piercing if you are under 16 years of age, as the body is still developing. A piercing that looks aesthetic if done when you are too young, can end up in the wrong spot by the time you are fully grown. Also, navel piercings take 6-9 months to heal! So they take a lot of patience and maturity to deal with and care for during that time. For example, you can't go swimming at the beach while you're healing (unless you cover your piercing with a waterproof bandage). Contrary to the above there is a correlation between the cycles and the healing of a navel piercing. More often than not about 2~ 4 days before the cycle arrives the piercing can become annoyed and some what cranky, discharging a bit more than normal. This is often mistaken as an infection and treated with various products all of which just annoy the piercing even more so. Simple irrigation of the piercing while moving the jewellery under warm running water in the shower eases this discomfort and once the cycle starts the piercing reverts to a more normal behaviour. The actual healing time for a navel piercing to be considered seasoned is a full year. These statements are based on over 18 years of hands on experience in the body piercing field.

Should teenagers under the age of 16 get a body piercing?

Ears, lip, and nose are fine in moderation. I say no for navel rings and tongue rings. Tongue rings can cause permanent damage and its super important that the child understands that. Navel rings are a bad idea because the body is still growing and the piercing can migrate over time. Its best to just get it after you stop growing for the most part.
