My piercing story

By Simmy, from Slovenia

Hello, my first piercing was eight years ago. It was belly piercing. I have no problems with the skin, but the piersingman did take me too little of skin so I must be careful.

Next week I will get another piersing belly. I will send picture too.
Sorry for my broken eanglish. Have a nice day from Sloveni ex Yugoslavia.

Bye Bye Simmy

In and Out in 20 minutes!

By Alexis, from Ohio

I had been thinking about getting a belly button ring for a few years now, but never really gave it serious consideration. That changed a few weeks ago, when I suddenly had a desire to get one. I had finally gotten the stomach I wanted and thought that a little bit of sparkle would compliment my bikini ready belly perfectly.

I found out that Ohio does not require piercing parlors to be certified which made me a bit nervous. There are all those horror stories out there, and I did not want to create my own.

I looked online to see what people had to say, and found the Association of Professional Piercers. With a site named safepiercing.org I felt comforted reading about their standers of professionalism. Through their site I found a place that went out of their way to get an APP certification, and the best part was that they were only about thirty minutes away.

The shop, Body Anthology, has their own website, and they list the piercers and have pictures of what they have done in the pat. All of the testimonials repeated the same key words over and over again. The place was professional, clean, and welcoming. Many said that even during a tour of the place they used quite a few pairs of rubber gloves.

On one of my days off, I went to just check it out for myself. I had thought of putting it off until my birthday, which would have been in the middle of summer. Once I stepped into the place, I felt at ease and knew that they would take care of me. The parlor was well lit and the piercing station had almost a hospital feel to it. They explained the whole process to me, opened up all the tools in front of me, and then marked my navel. I laid down and he applied the clamp, which I did not feel at all, and then he told me to inhale and then exhale slowly. On my second exhale, he quickly pushed the needle through and then I was all done. I felt just a quick pinch, and the whole thing took a lot less time than I thought it would. It felt just like getting my ears pierce except that the healing time is much longer.

It turned out to be a good thing that I got it done at the beginning of April seeing as how I cannot go into lakes for about three to four months. After we were all done, he described the healing process and gave me a packet of sea salt with written directions as a just in case. He also let me know that I can always email or telephone if I have any questions, and I feel comfortable doing just that.

So far I have not had any problems except for the few times I tossed a bit too much in my sleep and accidentally hit the top ball. I love my new piercing so much. While the jewelry I picked out is simple and goes with everything, I cannot wait for it to heal completely so I can change it and show it off!

12 years young.

By Emily, from Mt. Keira, Australia.

I got my belly button pierced when i was12 years old. It was a very painful proxess resulting in me fainting.

I kept the original piercing bar in for about a month or so. That was when the stones fell out after my first swimming experience.

So, i went to a tattoo parlour and got a new bar put in. I knew it wasn’t healed. So i didn’t do it myself. I didn’t do it myself until my piercing was about 6 months old. But even then i was paranoid about steralising, clean hands, anti bact soap and everything.

I’m now 14 and have the same belly piercing. Im still fair paranoied about it because i have made it this far without infection and i love it a heap. Even today i call it the best $90 ever spent.

I did my own belly?!?!

By Angela, from Savanna, Il.

Lots of people these days are getting piercings some normal and some unique i am one of thoes people tht does them themselves rather than paying to get them done.

I wanted to try to pierce my belly so i got out a curved sowing needle and sterilized it then i got the belly ring i purchased earlier and sterilized tht too then i got a permanent marker and figured out where the hole would begin and end up then i got out some ice and nummed the sopt for awile then pushed the needle all the way through and left it in for abt a couple of hrs.

Then i took the needle out and pushed the belly ring in and after that i sterilized it and put tape on the piercing so it wouldnt rip off in my sleep and did it every night for about 4 weeks untill it healed then in abt 7 weeks i changed it to a dangly ring making shure to sterilize every ring tht i used into my belly it can be a painful piercing and if u have thick skin lyk me it will be a difficult piercing to do u have to beable to take pain when doing this pircing or it will hurt u and only use surgical stainless steal stanless steal or the new PFFTE piercings or it will get infected!

Finally Got It!!!

By Elaine, from Summerville, U.S.

So for like two years now I have been wanting a belly ring.

In 8 th grade I wanted a belly ring and to get my ears pierced again. My mom took me to get my ears pierced. But she said no to the belly ring. So I let it go in 9th grade I really stared to want one be cuz we moved to South Carolina and alot of girls have them. But I told my self I was going to put it off be cuz I wanted to get into shape.

So once again I put it off. So in the summer of 09 I was going to asking again but I had gained a little weight cuz of the good summer cooking. So around X – mas I wrote on my list that I had wanted a belly ring. So when x -mas came around I still didn’t get it. So I tried for my birthday. My birthday is the day right after x -mas. But my mom still said no.

So I found this website. I looked up alot of information. Like healing time, places to go, jewlery, price, ect. Sent it to my parents. They looked at it and still said no. So I went back to this website
and started to read some stories. One stoy the girl sent alot of videos of people getting pierced with the title of each one saying “I refuse to give up.” So I did the same and a little more. I sent the videos and pics of people that had alot of piercings. And under those pictures I wrote ” I dont want this much i just want a belly ring,” still my parents said no.

So I was really sad. A few days later my auntie called me and Told me that she would take me. So I sent the weekend over her house and the next day she took me to get pierced. The place was VERY CLEAN. It didn’t cost that much. I got pierced with a Bioplast, cuz I didn’t want an infection. And that night my auntie told my mom what she let me do.

And she told my mom to stop acting like she never wanted anything like that. She sent me home with a picture of my mom. She had 16 piercings on her face and mouth!!

It was tottally worth it!

By Emzy, from England.



So I was sitting at home one day looking on Google and deciding what piercing I want. I’ve already got my ears pierced, so this would be the 2nd time getting a piercing. I went to town with my friend one day and we saw a piercing place, and asked how old we had to be to get a belly button piercing. They said 16 to come alone, or any age and come with a parent. So I went home and asked my Mom if I could get a belly piercing, but of course, she said no. I said “Why?” she said “Because what if it gets infected or anything like that? You’re only 13!” I said “It could be part of my Christmas pressent, please?” So in the end, she said yes.

A couple of weeks later, my friend who I went to town with wanted it done too. We both went together with my Mom. When we got to the piercing place, my Mom had to fill out a few forms for us both. We pretended we were sisters. On the door, there was a sign.. it said, “No weenies aloud!” …I got quite scared.

When we both went into the room, the piercer calledKate said “Who’s going first?” Me and my friend had already decided that I was going to go first. There were 3 choices of belly bars, but they were all the same. A pink one, a blue one and a silver one. My friend Hayley wanted the blue one, so I got the pink one.

She marked with a pen where she was going to stick the needle through and told me to look at it in the mirror, so I did. She told me to lay down on the chair, and I was looking at the ceiling. My Mom doesnt like body piercings so she was just waiting outside. Hayley was stood over me watching, asking the piercer questions like ‘DOES IT HURT? HOW DOES IT WORK? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BE DONE?’ the piercer couldnt pierce my belly button untill Hayley stops speaking, or the piercer would get distracted. Hayley shuts up, and the piecer puts the clamp on my belly button. I have quite a high pain tolerance… she puts the needle through, and I screamed. It felt like I got shot. Yes it hurt very much. So when I stood up, I looked in the mirror. I l!
oved it.
But then seconds later, I started to feel dizzy and it felt like I was going to faint.

It was Hayleys turn. She marked it with a pen and told Hayley to lie down. Hayley gets the giggles alot, and when she starts giggling, she cannot stop. She started to giggle, and laugh, and cry with laughter. About 10 minutes of laughing, she stopped. The piercer was very patient, which was good. The piercer put the clamp on Hayley, and Hayley started to laugh again. The piercer took the clamp off, and said “Please be quiet, because I’m losing my patience”, that made Hayley shut up. She pierced it, and it was all done.

The piercer gave both of us instructions for looking after our new piercing. About a month later, mine was fine and looked very pretty. Hayleys looked very red and hers was itching alot.

It was tottally worth it! Picture above, no she did not pierce my belly button slanted. The belly bar is just slanted there, and the camera angle is slanted also.

Thanks for reading
