A woman is walking in the water, with a pierced belly button. The swimming pool might be a great place to show off your new belly button ring, but don't jump in the water until your piercing heals. Even chemically treated water can harbor germs that cause infections in open wounds. People heal at different rates. While healing is typically complete within 9 months, it can take up to a year for a belly button ring site to heal. If you notice drainage, redness or swelling at the piercing site, contact your health care provider as you may need antibiotics to clear up the infection.
   Answer   You should wait a couple months before you change your belly button  ring after you have gotten it pierced for the first time. The  piercing needs to heal and be cleaned repeatedly before you attempt  to change the ring to something more stylish.I suggest six months,  but it also depends on how long it takes your piercing to heal. When you go to get your piercing changed, ask the person who is  going to change it. They usually have a good idea if it's ready or  not.   it all depends on the person..ny professional body piercer will tell you the jewelry should be left in place for a minimum of 3 to 6 months. Here's the reason, changing the jewelry too soon puts unneeded stress on the newly forming tissue in the piercing. This can damage the piercing and prolong the healing time substantially.
