If my belly button piercing had to be allowed to close and it left scar tissue how bad will it hurt to get it re-pierced?

Probably less than when you got it new!The scar tissue is dead tissue,meaning the nerve endings are no so sensitive as they were when you first did your piercing.

Can you re-peirce a belly button?
Of course,just like it's possible to repierce your ears It is possible to have any piercing re-pierced, it does seem as though the piercing is more prone to rejection after the scar tissue has formed well. However, there are several piercers working with a new technique of placing surface piercings under or behind scars to try and anchor them. I don't know what the success rate is, but it does seem like it's a concievable concept. If you have them go slightly deeper I think your chances of being able to heal it will be much better or if they can, go completely behind the scar from the first time you had it pierced.

Will an ear piercing get infected if you open it up after 35 years?
If by reopening it you mean re-piercing it, then yes, theres a chance that it'll get infected. If the piercing is healed over, go get it professionally repierced. Scar tissue can be a little tough to pierce through. Repiercing it yourself with non-sterile jewelry greatly increases the risk of infection. If it hasnt healed over, its fine because scar tissue has formed and you arent creating a new wound.

All piercing should be professionally done, re piercing anything in the same location will result in increased discomfort due to cutting through the old piercing tissue. When tissue is formed for a piercing it develops the same sensory receptors as normal skin. If the piercing is still opened and it's a case of the jewellery not going all the way through the piercing, see your local professional body piercer and have them use a taper to open the piercing to the right size.
