Sterling Silver Belly Button Ring, Piercing Newbie Considering Navel Piercing
Q: I'm considering getting a navel piercing. Aside from a little anxiety about
the pain involved (although I had breast reduction surgery a year ago, so
how bad could a piercing be?), I want to know where I can get a sterling
silver ring with a butterfly charm on it? Any ideas?
Also, any advice regarding going about getting the piercing and what it
feels like would be most welcome!
A:If I were you I'd focus on getting a good pierce first and making sure it heals
alright, then going on with the sterling silver jewlery. Alot of people don't
recommend using sterling silver because it is one of the more reactive piercing
materials when it come to being in contact with the fluids and tissues of fresh
pierce. But when all is healed and done http://www.piercinglinks.com has many
great links to jewlery suppliers, I'm sure you can find the jewlery you want
there.
Sterling Silver would be a no-no. You would need a material that is less likely
to react badly with your body such as surgical stainless steel or niobium. If
you check around at the local piercing shops you should find what you are
looking for. Stainless Steel resembles sterling but it doesnt tarnish. That
should be what you want.
It is usually a piercing that takes quite a while to heal. It isnt all that
bad, its over within a second or two. Talk to a piercer around your area.
I got mine pierced 11months ago and love it. The actual piercing is not that
bad.....I had a boob job too and on a scale of one to ten it was a ten.....the
belly button...hmmmm....maybe a 3....LOL....its the healing process that hurts.
I just now consider mine totally healed...they said it would take about 6
months....took
