Wear a short barbell with small ends/balls. Not so short that its tight and hurts though. If you can, get something flexible, like bioplast. Definitely don't wear dangles. You can cover it with a bandage or gauze and tape to protect it if it's hit. I've heard of people taking eyepatches and taping that over them. If it does get hit/irritated, soak it with warm water and just pamper it haha :) Hope this helps!
Yes with Parental consent and the parent needs to be present during the piercing, this is a requirement of most North American body piercing studios.
A belly button piercing can be a lot of fun, but it must be kept absolutely clean. It is a piercing that is easily infected, and when it does get infected, it's pretty bad. After getting pierced, clean the area twice a day (as well as after the shower, after swimming in the beach, etc). Also know that after the belly button ring is removed, there will be a small scar that can stretch (permanently) during pregnancy.
If it hangs or dangles chances are good that it will retain a piercing. Placing the navel piercing off to the side will be problematic for aftercare and irritation during the healing process. If you haven't had a navel piercing before then stay with something that is simpler to care for and will give a result a navel piercing is supposed to give.
Yes, unless you are so sensitive to pain that you faint during the procedure. In which case a piercing probably isn't a good idea!
Only if you regularly experience excessive bloating or swelling during your period. If you do, it is a good idea to have the piercing done within the week after your period ends to give yourself a few weeks of healing before the bloating or swelling reoccurs.
What ever you are using to clean the piercing with is causing a hypertrophic reaction. Stop using what ever the piercer told you to use and flush the piercing with lots of warm water in the shower. You need to flush the piercing with water daily and do not use the "junk" you were told to use. Flushing the piercing daily will allow the piercing to get flushed out and the tissue will start to settle down. Be sure to keep the piercing dry during the day time and keep your dirty fingers out of the piercing unless you are washing it. See the Related Links below for more information on lumps and bumps.
Of course you can! Many basketball players - mostly girls and women - wear the knee pads to protect their knees from injury, scrapes and bruises encountered during the game! The game of basketball is fast and rough, so you fall onto the basketball court many times and you may hurt or scrape up your knees!
Like you would without a piercing in it. You want to keep things like facial scrubs and skin treatments away from the piercing, these can cause issues for the piercing during the healing process.

Sure. If you workout or anything though, a new navel piercing can get in the way. It'll take longer to heal may be tender during workouts. Other than that, you're good to go :)
