Answers:
I recently got my belly pierced and the pain is not as bad as people make it out to be, personally I don't take pain very well and I was ok through the whole process but that was because I paid for a numbing cream which took away about 60% of the pain, many piercing parlors offer these as an option so you should look into that if you are scared. also once it wears off I had no pain,it was just a bit sensitive, as any piercing is, also make sure to be prepared for the time consuming cleaning process, for example, soaking the piercing in salt water for a minimum of 15Min's daily for I think its the 1st 6 weeks, or depending on how fast your piercing heals, also to speed up the healing process you can take zinc tablets.Health Question & Answer

The pain during the piercing is far worse than that of a tattoo . I, unfortunately, was not planning on that. I thought it would be a piece of cake compared to my large back tattoo. I was sadly mistaken. I've had it for a little over a month now and it's still pretty sore, but I can at least sleep on that side of my body now.

By the way, it's done with a gaged needle that's pretty thick (I'm not sure what size). Good thing I didn't see the needle until after the piercing was finishedHealth Question & Answer

You might be thinking "What's the worst that can happen.?"

Well, mine hurt a LOT. For a LONG time. Felt like someone hit me in the stomach with a baseball bat every time it got snagged on my pants. The pain of the piercing itself was minimal compared to the months and months of agony after...

NINE months after getting it pierced it was still painful to the touch, but I was confused, as it was not infected. I thought I was just being a wuss.

I had a doctor look at it, and he said that because I have a really shallow bellybutton, the piercer accidentally cut into my abdominal muscle wall right above my navel, causing a hernia. The hernia will take surgery to fix, which is why it's still there to this day, 12 years later. It will cost me $2000+ to fix. That's a really expensive hole in my body.

The doc also advised that should I ever want to have a baby, I should get the hernia fixed at least a year before I want to get pregnant, or my belly would 'open up like a zipper' as I got larger. AAAAuughh!!!! Yeah, gross isn't it.? I wish someone had told me that I did NOT have the right kind of navel BEFORE I did it.

My advice.? DON'T. Get your ears pierced instead. Or anything else as long as there's no muscle directly under the piercing site.Health Question & Answer

Belly button piercings are really awesome and look great to!
The pain is extremely the worst 50 seconds of my life (so far)
You feel like someone is stabbing your belly with a fork and u feel blood rise in your stomach. Once its done,It will be throbbing a little. after a day or 2 It won't hurt.
But they are dangerous to get because they can burst open when u run or do exercise because so much muscle on your stomach.
I Would think twice about getting a belly button piercing.Health Question & Answer

No pain, no belly ring! No really, it will sting a little with a bit of a dull ache, but it's NOTHING if you've had other things to compare it to...... like a kidney stone or a broken heart.

Here's an alternative to a real one:
