During Summer Holidays my two best firends and I came up with the idea of getting our belly buttons peirced together. Both of my friend’s parents said yes however mine didn’t they thought that I was two young and said it made people look like white trash. After a month of trying to convince my parents I decided to not push the issue further. The next day I went and held the hands of my two best friends as they got the belly button done. Watching them looking at other belly button rings to buy made me want one even more so I started to ask my parents again. 6 months of pestering and pleaing brought results...At the time my parents were in the process of splitting up and in a weak point they finaly agreed. My gradma had always wanted to take me to get in done, so the next day my sister, grandma and I went off the the tatto and peircing parlor. The guy there was really nice and told me what he was doing. I think the clamp hurt more than the peircing and it was very quick and easy. For my birthday (two months later) my parents suprised me with this georgious belly ring and the news of them getting back together.

It was back in 2007 close to my16th birthday.. I was asking my mum whether i should get it done or not but she said ’its up to you. if you want it done consider it your birthday present. so we went to the local tattoo and piercing studio a few days later. i was looking at the belly bars that were near the piercing room and found the one i liked, it was a bio flex bar with a light blue-grey stone. As soon as i was called into the room i dragged my mum along with me thinking ’oh god this is going to hurt’. but she helped me more that what she thought she could by distracting me then ’jab’. It was the worst pain i’ve ever felt but it was worth it for something so pretty :)

I had wanted a belly button ring for manys years but my husband at the time disliked them intensely, so I couldn’t get one. However the day after our divorce I went to the local tatoo parlour and got one. I’ve had it ever since (12yrs now). It was my divorce present to my self LOL! Cheers Charlotte

I had wanted to get my belly pierced for years, but by my mum’s rule I had to wait until I was 18. I booked the appointment for a few days after my birthday at my local Essential Beauty which is at my local shopping centre where I also work, to be done on my half hour lunch break. 1pm came around, and after taking a few minutes to prepare myself, I met my friends and headed over to get it done. The piercing was was over before I knew it, and barely hurt at all, which was lucky considering I had an afternoon at work to finish. My colleagues could hardly believe I had just got a piercing on my lunch break, and I took frequent toilet trips to admire my new piercing.

the 1st time i got my navel peirced was horrifying. i was 20 and i finally worked up the courage to get it done after years of fantisising. so i went into my local peircings place and all was going well untill the piercer stuck the needle in and couldnt get it through. at first he said it must be because my tummy was to taught. but after about 10 minutes of him pushing and pushing he and another guy who worked there finnally got it through. after 3 years it still had not healed. so i took it out. about 2 years after that i went and had it repeirced. i found out that every time he tried to push the needle through my skin he created a jagged edge since having it repierced i love it and have had no problems watso ever

there’s 4 weeks of school left, so me and my friend had said to each other lets get bellys pierced so that way we can swim on the holidays as we’re at boarding school. so we thought out plan was bullet pproof when the dorm mistress said that we were doing a trip to the city. we were so excited, but by wednesday the teacher said it was cancelled. we were so keen to get it done so we asked one of the dorm staff to take us for a day trip to the city, she agreed. we got to the piercing place and my friend went before me, she came out and said it hurt a little. i got really nervous, soon enough i was laying on the bed and the girl was cleaning my belly. then i felt the clamp and she walked away i thought to myself what is she doing she turned around and said are you feeling alright i said i was really nervous about the piercing and she looked at me and laughed and said its done darl. i felt like an idiot because i layed there for about 2 minutes.

was one of the randomest of my teenage life. It’s kind of a right of passage in my family to get your navel pierced in highschool ( both my older sisters, my cousins,ect all have them done), however my Dad is vey old school when it comes to parenting and told all three daughters strictly no body piercings but you know, that’s just asking for trouble anyway on the day... It was bucketing down rain and I had a half day at school, seeing that I had the perfect chance to do some secret shopping,I took the bus into town and ran through the freezing cold rain in my white school shirt...lovely right? feeling about as graceful as a drowned rat, I decided I needed a pick me up, then I walked past this cute little hair and beauty boutique and figured it must be fate. since I’m under 18 they needed an parents approval YAY! mum has the day off work *calls home* me - hey mum can you I get my bel- dad - It’s Dad me *thinks - OMG CRAP* where’s mum? dad - she’s busy me - it’ll take a sec- dad - she’s trying to get the car going me - well go get her dad - what do you want? me - .... it’s errr... girl time issues ? *thinks - how the hell is he going to believe that* dad - ew GOD -- *mumbles in background* mum - what’s going on? are you ok? me - finally I’m getting my navel pierced can you tell the piercer it’s all ok? mum - ohh. yeah it’s cool. me - yay :3 thanks *end of convo* it’s been three monthes and counting and my dad still doesn’t know, what’s worse is that my 26 year sister is worried if he ever found out she has her’s done... and she’s married :\

We were on holidays in 2008 in Queensland on the Gold Coast. I wanted my belly button pierced desperately but the ’rents’ were a bit cagey over it. In a moment of solidarity - mum took my side and said you are only young once and she said she’d take me for my birthday. We went to a piercing shop in Surfer’s Paradise where I was in my total element! I had a lovely girl talk to mum and I about it all and then she took me into the room and mum came to watch. It was no big deal - a small quick prickle of pain and then I had my bling in my button! I love my belly button piercing and everytime I look at it I remember my 16th birthday and while others where getting theirs done on schoolies... I got to share my special moment with mum xoxo
