Well i was intrested in piercings since i was 11.There are many pierings i want for example tongue,septum,labret,nose,eyebrow,citand more but i will have to wai till i am 18 (witchs sucks ass). So i looked at BME's website and started thinking....i need someting that was good looking easy to handle and that looked great and my mom would except (because i am only 14 when i got this done). So i went and asked my mom if i can get my bellybutton pierced and after hours and hours of begging she finally said yes and i was so happy!!!She said that it would great in the summer when i wear a bathing suit and i is easily hide able witch was great.

Studio ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSIONS Location COLLEGE POINT NY So the next day we went to my local piercing/tattoo shop and they said no cuz i was too young :( (i was 14).Then we went looking around for some other places and we finally found one that was clean and was recommend by a few of my friends..so i said i am gunna do it.
I walked in and there was the piercer who had a lot of tattoos....so me ad my mom walked up to her and i said i wanted to get my belly button pierced and she said okay...so i was so happy! so i looked around for some nice jewerly and i picked out this blue flower with a silver stud in the middle...it was awesome...i was so excited but nervous at the same time....i was thinking oh my god is this gunna hurt??...so i said to my self too bad if it hurts its a small price to pay for such a GREAT experience ..so i said what the hell im here i'm gunna do it...so my mom filled out all the forms.
After that was done we hd to wait a little while..while she was getting set up..so i followed her to the back ad sat in the chair....I must say this place was really clean..as i watched her put on her gloves and clean the jewerly etc....she was talking to me and making me feel more calm about it...(you should always talk to your piercier it makes u feel better and u start to trust them more.
so i was sitting there waiting for her to get ready..then sh told me to stand up so she can get the placement just right. so she marked the spot and it was perfect so said okay to it and sat back down.Most people say that te clamp hurts so bad..but it doesn't at all. Then she put a cork on the othr end of the piercing s it wouldn't go threw the skinon the other sideand then she said at the count of 3 she was gunna push it threw and to take a deep breath....1...2....3... and she pushed it threw and it didn't hurt at all it was great..i was happy that it did't hurt. She put the barbell in and i was all set!! so i got up i was a little scared to walk so i walked slow for a few mins then i started to walk normal.
I went and paid and bought some of this soloution they were sellin so i bought it and paid and gave her a big tip cuz he did such a great job nd walked out.
If u r thinking about getting it done i suggest that u do and try to get ur mom or dads permisson because it itsn't a prety sight when they find out u did it behind their back(trust me i no) it doesn't hurt and it looks great!!!
Questions that yu guys might have:
1:Does it hurt?
No not really..only for a second and then u feel like your on top of the world!
2:How many times a day sould i clean it?
If it is a new piercing you should clean it twice a day.
3:What should i use to clean it?
You should use dail soap (the orange one) and make sure it doesn't have a smell to it...just plain soap...and make sure not to over clean..i did and it fell out so be carefull. You can also use bacitracin ointment..it helps.
4:What should i do if it gets infected?
You should clean it with dail soap nd then use the bacitracin ointment twice a day...don'tuse too much but then don't use to little and if it gets worse go to your piercier an ask them to help you.
5:What kind of clothes should i wear to get it pierced and what should i wear after i get it done?
You should always wear loose pants to get it done and after you get it done for about 4 or 5 months just to be safe cuz that happened to me.
UPDATE: I HAD IT IN FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN I STARTED TO GET INFECTED SO I AS USING WHAT THEYTOLD ME TO USE SOAP AND WHAT I BOUGHT AT THE PIERCING SHOP AND I THINK WAS USING IT TOO MUCH CUZ A FEW WEEKS AFTER IT GOT INFECTED..AND THEN IT DDN'T HELP THAT I TRIED TO TAKE OFF THE INFECTED PART WITH A NAIL CLIPPER AND THEN IT FELL OUT I SO MADD :( BUT I FIGUERED I CAN GET IT AGAIN WHEN IT HEALS...SO IT WAS OKAY FOR NOW.......
