Hey, you don't know me. I found you on a random LJ search. I got my navel pierced 6 years ago. I'm the BIGGEST wuss i know...(i fainted WATCHING my friend get her ears pierced) I can't even THINK about needles without getting grossed out. Not to freak you out or anything, but I fainted when i got my navel pierced. But i think that had more to do with my mindset about it than the pain factor. It's a good thing I fainted though, because I heard (from people who've stayed awake during it) that it hurts like a bitch. But if you can get shots, you can do this, no problem. Actually, I bet it hurts more AFTER than during. Just be sure you don't gunk it up with handsoap cuz that causes it to get infected real quick. Your best bet is to just put an antibiotic ointment on it a couple times a day and make sure you twirl the ring through the piercing to keep the skin from attaching to the ring.

on a side note: from what i remember, the part that hurt the most is when they put the forceps on! if you can brave that part....you can do the rest. good luck convincing your mom to let you get it done.... :)
