Well I finally got my navel pierced. I had waited several years for this to happen. Just recently last November, my mother and older sister took me to get it pierced. My grandmother has custody of me and she did not want me to get it done at all. My mother asked her several times and she kept saying NO. So we told my grandmother we were going to the mall and maybe a movie, my grandmother believed us. I had tried to pierce it myself earlier that year (stupid I know that's why I did not go through with it all the way), and I thought that because of the scar tissue that it would hurt like hell. I was very excited about this because I had been pestering my mother about it for weeks until she finally gave in. And we were off to have it done professionally.

Everything looked clean and sterile, but it also looked very cool and down-to-earth. I decided do go there because my sister had heard some really great things about it. And I had looked it up on the Internet it had almost 10 point rating. I could not wait any longer I filled out the paper work very fast. My mother looked like she was going to have a heart attack, just trying to sign her name on the piece of paper. Well I picked out these purple striped balls, totally awesome. So then I had to wait, those 3 minutes seemed to last a lifetime. Well finally he called me into the piercing room, I looked out the glass window and saw my mom she was rocking back and fourth, and he told me to sit on the chair thing. My sister was watching from behind the glass. She looked more nervous than I did.
He got all his equipment out and was preparing everything for me. He marked my belly button up and was ready to pierce it. The whole time my sister was on the outside of the glass saying do not be nervous Caitlyn. I was like I'm not why don't you go sit down you look more nervous than me. Really for me the part that hurt the most was how tight he had the clamps on my skin. He was very nice about the whole thing and told me it probably would not hurt, and that I might not even feel it. Then he told me to take a deep breathe in and to exhale. Apparently that is when he stuck the needle through, I did not even feel it. I'm surprised my mother did not throw up. We paid for everything, got my cleaning solution and my paper work and left. I had fun showing off my new piercing. Every one of my friends kept asking me when did I get it done where did I get it done. I told them over and over again. They were all so jealous of me. My friend any had gotten hers done and hers got infected so she was mad when mine did not get infected right away.
My belly button piercing went completely fine for the first few months, there was barely any puss or fluid or bleeding or swelling or pain, and I thought that was kind of weird. Then I started getting this red bump below my upper hole. It looked like when people get bad burns, it looked like fresh skin. Well I just kept cleaning it and putting ointment on that little part and it finally cleared up and my belly piercing looked really good. A couple weeks ago though I started noticing the area where my upper hole and my belly button is started getting smaller and smaller. So looked up stuff on the Internet and I found out there was this thing called rejection. I looked into it a lot, then I kind of thought that was what was happening and it said that it was best to take it out sooner than later. So that when you take it out that it will be less of a scar. So I decided to take it out, weather or not I was having rejection I did not want to have anything go wrong. I was going to have my older sister take me to the local tattoo studio to ask them if they thought it was rejection , but I never got the chance and I did not want to waste any more time and have more scarring. My sister thought I was stupid for doing it, but I said I would rather take it out and maybe get it redone than have any ugly piercing or possibly none at all. I do not know if I'm going to get my belly button pierced again I'm afraid it might reject again. So for now I think I'm just going to stick with trying to get my tongue Pierced, I hope that works out for me.
