My Belly Button Piercing Experience
I had needed to get my belly pierced since I was 13, when I saw it on other older girls. I knew that my folks wouldn’t like it, so I couldn’t get it done as I required their authorization back then! I few of my pals got it done at the age of thirteen, but I’m pleased that I waited till I was sixteen, as I knew that I did actually need it done.
I only basically started considering the piercing 2 days previously, but talked to a pal whose sister had gotten hers done at a local beauty studio called Hot Spot, so I knew it’d be ok.
I prepared the appointment, but they announced as I was still only sixteen, I’d need parental authorization ( this varies dependent on the place ). So I prepared it for an evening and told my mummy she had to come along ( who fortunately thinks that belly piercings are quite pretty ). I didn’t wish to tell my father as I knew he wouldn’t like it at all, I didn’t see why I had to seeing as it is my body! But my mummy told me I had to, so I did, and he seemed to make a bit of a fuss and declared he wouldn’t give me any lifts or cash if I got it done, but he shortly came round and I got it done! I was really twitchy, as I am a little squeamish, and don’t like needles! But I actually wanted it done. I had already paid a deposit of 10 pounds, and she took me into the room, where I laid down on a bed. She showed me differing kinds of bars, ( I didn’t need a ring as I don’t like them ) and I made a decision on a pink double jewelled bar, which was more dear but was actually pretty. She wasn’t that friendly but I didn’t care! She sprayed it with some cold numbing spray, and drew with a pen where she was going to pierce it, and asked for my view. Then she clamped it with a metal clamp ( which was quite cold and pinched a bit ).
As I’ve already related, I am definitely a bit nervous so could not look- so I can just describe what I felt! I held my mum’s hand while she pierced it ( wimp ), and that was not nice, but then again, not especially distressing, it just felt like something stabbing at me a little, the bit I didn’t like was the sensation of my skin giving way as the needle went thru it. Then she put some straw thing in the hole, and placed the belly bar in! All Done! She gave me a lecture on the easiest way to care for it, and some oil and a little bit of paper telling me what to do with it. Altogether it cost me thirty-two pounds, which appears quite expensive, but I don’t truly know, as I did not actually look round.
I was frightened to move correctly all that night, but shortly got used to it! It healed quickly, and looks great! A year on, and I love it! Now and then it is getting a bit pus-y and sore but I believe that might have something to do with ‘that time of the month’ as I know others who also get this each month at a certain time. I haven’t once regretted getting it done, I suspect it’s the most beautiful piercing you can get, as I know that I wouldn’t get my nose, eyebrow or anything more done.
I have my ears pierced twice, and might think about getting them done more only out of boredom as I find it quite fun! Often I suspect it looks a bit wonky when I sit up and my belly sticks out, but I suspect that’s just me being picky! I have heaps of pretty belly bars my faves being ones that drop down. I just love taking a look at it! My last partner loved it and liked to play with it ( even thought you are not designed to play with it ) and I suspect it makes my belly really look slimmer! When I take it out its so strange seeing my belly without it, it looks better with it.
I occasionally wonder when I will eventually take it out, as I can’t imagine myself as a grandmama with it in! Except for now I am pleased with it and will most likely be for an exceedingly long time! I might just counsel others to take care not to catch it on anything, as that may be a bit scary! Now I am thinking whether or not to get a tattoo, which I know, my pop will not like… But who cares! It’s my body, and you only live once! I’d advocate any girl to get their belly button pierced, as it’s so good. I would even think about getting the base of my belly pierced as well!
