Is getting a navel piercing actually worth it?

Betty Wright64 said:Um... I am thirty-one years old.
It isn't that my midriff is showing at work—it is simply that I cannot find a single pair of pants that actually reaches my ankles. 😉

Yes—I admit that this whole thing about the pants sounds incredibly unrefined. My apologies for assuming you were some young girl; looking back at your posts regarding "Syndrome: Older Woman, Still Fierce," I see my mistake. 👍

Kate Mendoza37 said:I didn't get one, but my best friend did. She loved it at first—during the summer—for maybe two months. But after that, she couldn't wear high-waisted pants, belts were uncomfortable...

She got tired of it pretty fast, and honestly, it’s not even a big deal for the guy—after a few months, you just start seeing it as normal.

She also dealt with issues regarding irritation and healing; her skin was always a bit redder around that area than the rest of her body.

After a year, she just let it heal up.

So, look. If you think it's worth it for a few months out of the year—do it.

How could pants bother her? Sorry, but I pierced my own navel last fall, I always wear jeans, and they never hit my belly button... what is this friend of yours wearing, some weird high-rise cut? 😕

And the whole "it wasn't that great for her boyfriend" thing isn't really my problem—who cares? It’s not exactly a huge deal for my partner either, is it? 😕 🙄

In my humble opinion, I guess you haven't really thought through what she actually wants or doesn't want—because if she enjoyed it for a few months and then just let it go... it seems a bit silly. In your other post, you mention being "at an age where..." which contradicts your point about wisdom coming with age.😉

And that part about the "old girl syndrome"—yeah, just great... 🙄

Betty Wright64 said:That’s the first I’ve ever heard about a belly button being "killed," but alright then.
I don't take sides, so do whatever you want... with your own navel or whatever... but saying it doesn't hurt is just plain false.

Just kidding, just kidding! I was feeling a bit more unhinged than usual that day, so I was definitely just rambling nonsense...

Ugh, how gross...
I don't think I could ever deal with that...
So, what's the damage on the price tag?

I had buildup too, even though I was cleaning it regularly.
But things are looking much better now than they used to be.
It hurts while they're working on it, but once it's over, you're fine.

I'm currently in Germany, and I paid about $55 for it.

I heard that if you fall from a skyscraper, you might catch an antenna on the way down and end up disemboweled before you even hit the ground. 🙄

Give me a break, people...

😂

Honestly, all my pants sit way below my belly button, and none of them even come close to it lately...
I mean, the pain... I suppose I'll just have to find a way to deal with it, eventually...
If some people think that look is sexy, then fine, let them look, but if you don't, then just look away, I guess...
And what if this whole thing is only going to last a few more months anyway???
Hmm...
So, I heard this one rumor the other day, if you can even call it that...
They were basically asking, "What are you even going to do about it once you're pregnant?"
Like, they said the belly button stretches out and that little indentation... and that it might actually tear or something... blah blah blah...
It’s funny how the human mind is almost perfect...
But when it comes to imagination... man...😁

man, I'm losing it! 🙂

I shot three times and still got all five 🙂
looks like I'm going for a fourth since the hole healed up...

[everyone's got their own way to have fun. respect]

I rocked a navel piercing for six straight years and never had a single issue. I finally ditched it last spring just because I was bored of it...

I told my parents I was going to get a piercing... they still don't really buy it, I guess...
but...
does it actually hurt??
honestly, no... I am definitely getting it done!!!
because if I don't just do it right now, when am I ever going to find the nerve to do it????
