The Day I Got My Navel Pierced

28 August 2008 3:23:48 AM

Like Millz, I was pregnant when I was finally able to get my belly pierced (you can get it done when you are 16 now in Victoria). I took my boyfriend and daughter with me, but they waited outside. My boyfriend said that he didn’t want our then 4 month old daughter to see the body piercer stick a needle in me and make me bleed, he didn’t want to distress her. He was lucky not to have been in the room, because my belly spurted blood up my top, which I had been holding just above my navel. The body piercer said that happens all the time and not to worry, but I didn’t realy mind - I had my belly pierced! (much to my mum’s chagrin)

i was pregnant when i first realised i wanted a belly piercing but they don’t let you get it done when your pregnant so of course i had to wait. after the baby was born there was so much loose skin and stretch marks that i thought i would never be able to get one. eventually though my stomach started to look a bit more normal (as normal as it can after a baby) and i rushed to the piercer to have it done. my husband and daughter came with me, i wasn’t nervous, i just couldn’t wait. it stung a bit, a very sharp sudden pain and then hurt for a few weeks while healing but i love it now. my stomach isn’t perfect anymore but at least the jewellery looks great.

ha ha, I can relate to you Beka. I had my navel pierced about ten years ago at a tattoo and body piercing place in Penrith. I can’t even remember making the decision, it just happened naturally for me, I guess I was completely drawn to the idea. My mother was horrified but she couldn’t stop me, I was 18. I wasn’t nervous until I was actually laying there looking at the needle but it was all fairly painless and before I knew it my navel was pierced. There was a small pool of blood and the piercer made some jokes about calling an ambulace, my best friend and I were just in hysterics. (although my friend STILL refuses to get hers done after watching mine!)... I walked out of there feeling mighty proud that I had done it and wandered over to the nearby plaza when suddenly I had a dizzy spell come on and had to sit myself right down on the floor in the middle of the plaza! Kinda embarrassing, I looked like a drunk teen sitting there on the plaza floor having some sort of mini-blackout! A few minutes later the dizziness passed and my friends and I all went home. When I got home my mother said at the site of my new piercing oh no, what have you done! ha ha... but to this day I still love my navel piercing!

I remember talking to my girlfriends about piercings, and I remember telling them how my family would hate it if I got any weird body piercings (my mother found the ears as the only non-weird place to pierce yourself). She then told me that I should be my own person, and do what I want, and that I wasn’t a little girl anymore. About a week later, at a party at one of my girlfriend’s house, one of my friends was showing off her knew belly ring. I must admit, I kind of wanted to be in her shoes when everyone around her were bragging about how cool and cute it looked. I decided that I wanted to get double that attention and the next day I called my best friend and told her that I desperately needed to go to Galaxy (the closest piercing place). She was more excited than I was (she has always been very supportive of my decisions). Once we got to Galaxy, they offered to help us with whatever we needed... My bestfriend opened her huge mouth and said she wanted to get her belly button pierced. I thought i was going to be the only cool one to get a piercing that day. But it was okay, because i decided to get my belly and my tongue pierced! After that I went home and I could barely even talk. My mother picked a perfect time to start long conversations with me (not). I was desperately trying not to talk, when she finally realized I was talking funny. She told me to open my mouth and to avoid a slap on the face I did as she told. She instantly told me to remove the piercing and to throw it away. She couldn’t stop yelling at me, and she was studying my body so carefully while she yelled at me. I guess it was the tight tank top I was wearing that day that helped her discover my other precious piercing. I went to bed more pissed off than I’ve ever been. It has only been a few months since then, but I finally made my mom realize that piercings aren’t as bad as she thinks. Just because you make holes in your body, doesn’t mean that it makes you a bad person. So now I have 15 Piercings including my lip, navel, and nose(don’t worry, most of my piercings are in my ears ).

I took my mum and my sister along the day I got my belly done. My sister came to laugh at me as she was convinced I'd cry, scream or faint. I sat down the the technician, picked out my bar, and laid down on the bench. The tech and I were having a mad chat about Christmas being 2 days away, when she infomed me I was pierced - I didnt believe her as I didnt feel a thing and whacked my stomach to make sure she was telling the truth. As I jumped off the bench to show my sister I nearly wet myself laughing - she had gone gray and clammy, on the verge of passing out herself just watching me get my tummy pierced! Haha thats karma for you!

i was so excited, i was taking my new boyfriend with me.. i was going to show him that i wasn't a wuss. It all seemed to go seemingly well, i didn't cry, not even a tear.. i squeezed his hanad mighty hard though! When all was done and paid for, we walked out of the shop and my bf told me how surprised he was that i didn't cry and make a scene, ha ha. That exact minute, just outside the shop, i fainted! So embarrassing!!
