Advice on Belly Button Piercing for My Daughter: Healing, Care, and Scarring Concerns

[happythieves]

Yes there will be scars for life…. As with all piercings!! There will always be a mark!!

Ps.. I had my eyebrow pierced in my 20s. That's an even worse scar. And ur eyebrows don't grow properly around the scar... just a heads up for future z

I had mine done when I was 16ish. I went to a tattooist to have it done. I passes out. It then got infected and after weeks of suffering my dad had to cut it out of me. Years later I took my sister to have hers done she had no problems. I still have the scar...

I had mine done at 13 it healed really quickly but I'd say be careful whilst healing as it can get caught i used salt water whilst its healing it cant be changed for about 12 weeks I was lucky during pregnancy as I had a pregnancy bar and still got it now and I'm 33 years old.

Had mine done at 18. No issues with healing. Just keep on top of cleaning it and should be OK. Didn't find it particularly caught, just think about what jewellery using when it is healed and able to change it. I took mine out when I had my daughter 15 years ago, 10 years after it being pierced. Never put it back in. I just have a tiny hole left, not really obvious unless you look closely.

I had mine done 20 years ago. No problems then, just keep an eye on it and keep it clean. Had my first child 14 yes ago used special belly bar through pregnancy no problems went back to normal belly bars after till second child 9 yes ago. Used special belly bar through pregnancy again went back to original after. Then took out didn't bother. But every now and then I put a bar in no problem. Only see a little hole without. Hasn't gotten own out or covered up. No problems at all. X

I had mine done when I was 16 my body rejected it just pretty much pushed it from my body but it left a scar. However once she has kids that tiny scar will probably be the least things she cares about in the tummy area. Her body leave her to it. Just warn her of the potential issues.

Mine was done wrong at 15/16, got horribly infected and so so painful. Went somewhere else to fix it and it eventually healed. Grew out if it a few years later so removed it. Fast forward to pregnancy and it's surrounded by stretch marks where the skin had healed and wouldn't stretch properly I guess. Long story short I wouldn't have it done again and i will deter my daughters from having it done when they're older x

 

[newmarkdee]

This is my scar after having it done twice it drew out and left this, I have had kids tho so ignore the stretch marks

 

[overmann6]

@newmarkdee I’m the same

 

[newmarkdee]

@overmann6 didn't help I have an outie , one peircing I begged and begged for and then finally got as an adult and it fell out twice so no belly peircing for me I did get my tongue and that's safe so I'm happy

Stretch marks are our kids first art work

 

[whoselinefan]

I had mine done at 16, took it out when pregnant at 22, it's healed over but the scar stretched when I had my babies, will gladly send you a pic of my scarring, I've already had a procedure to have my scarring removed, now I'm pregnant again and it's come back

 

[19cer67]

Had mine done for 17 years. Had 5 pregnancies since and absolutely no issues.

 

[newchristian123]

Had mine down at 16. Took it out at 31 when I had my kids not 1 issue. I have a tiny scar you'd have to be very close to see it.
My daughter had hers done at Christmas she was 13 its been fine

 

[radium05]

My daughter had hers done at 14 with her best friend. I was probably the same age thinking back

 

[vicomte13]

I had mine done at about 14 took it out when I was 20 when I was pregnant. Never had any issues with it. I only ever caught it once and that was on a seatbelt and I still don’t know how I did it but god it hurt. I do still have the hole where is was and I’m 30 now it has never healed over properly but doesn’t bother me.

 

[aravalon]

Had mine done 23 years ago & drove 250 miles straight after. Did ask for a bit of padding so the seatbelt didnt rub! Took it out when I was pregnant but put it back in after. Never had any problems & I still love it now x

 

[jamesb1981]

I had mine when I was 16, took it out when I was pregnant with my son, it’s left a scar

 

[sirtaxedalot]

I had mine done at 19 and still have it at 39 (nearly 40 ) never had an issue with clothing or infections. It will close up very quickly once removed…. I struggle to get it back in if its out for an hour!!!! Basically mine never comes out unless im changing the jewellery.
