Q: Piercing Problem
asked by: Zanny on August 7th, 2006
Supporter
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't really be bothered going through pages of old posts to find out...

I have a belly button piercing, and as yet I haven't needed to take it out.. Will I have to eventually or is it safe to leave in even with a big bump? I doubt it'd look good, but I don't mind about that. I'd rather not let it heal up, coz re-piercing is painful.. But obviously I will if it's not safe.

You can get them off ebay for less than £10. I wish I knew about them.
Pregnancy killed my belly piercing. It stretched the hole at the top and now its a line rather than a hole

it doesn't look too bad when I have the piercing in but i've had to take it out already so i'm gonna get a bendy one...

Ive got a plastic one in at the moment as I was scared it would heal up and id have to get it done. I bought it for £5 at the local body piercing shop where I got my piercing done. Im sure most places sell them nowadays as they are popular

Lol that'd be too expensive for me. They are worth it though and it makes the piercing more comfortable aswell. But it doesnt look too good on my espeically when my belly button has half popped out lol! But then again I dont really show my tummy that often as its too big

My friend is 2 weeks from her due date and still has her piercing in with her regular bar. So I guess it depends on who it is.. I've heard of a lot of people leaving them in.

Mine stretched out and I have three stretch marks coming off the top hole. It looks really badly. I took it out at about 6 months too but I put it back in 2 days after my skoot was born.
