well...in some places you can have your belly button pierced at the age of thirteen. But you have to have an adult with you. You can have it done on your own at the age of sixteen.8 I just got mine pierced last month. If under age you need a parent with you to sign concent forms. If you live near Dallas this is where I went they are WONDERFUL, ask for Tasha. And no it didn't hurt.
A belly piercing can take up to a year to properly heal. Most piercers suggest not going swimming (in pool, sea, etc) to avoid the risk of infection. Pools have chlorine water and sea water filled with impurities. , which may reacts with your piercing to cause an infection. If you really have to go swimming, do not go for at least three weeks and try using a waterproof bandage. Keep an eye on it when you're in the pool/sea to make sure it doesn't fall off. Remember to soak the piercing with sea salt solution when you take off the bandage. Hope this helps!
