You should wait until the 'wound' has completely healed with no oozing or bleeding and when the scab has fallen off. If you swim before this you may be putting yourself at risk of getting an infection which could mean you have to take you piercing out whilst it heals again and then it will close up altogether.
Actually, you should wait for at least 3 weeks before swimming in public pools, rivers, lakes or even the sea. After you pierce any part of your body, a very complex process takes place, this process is a protection mechanism that your body developes against the new foreign object in it.
Specifically the belly button is known for being shelter of a lot of bacteria, so you should clean it twice a day with water and soap (Neutral pH soap).
After 3 weeks aproximately, your body has fully completed the cicatrization process and you can do your life as usual : D
48 to 72 hours is usually good enough remember to wash the piercings after swimming.
Straight away. Just make sure your hair doesn't get caught in it. And afterwards, clean your ear with the correct product you should have got after having them done from whoever pierced them.
Nope. Water is filled with bacteria so it increases the risk of infection. Wait at least 2-3 months. Even then, make sure you clean your piercings really well afterwards.

Can you swim when you get your naval pierced?
If you could swim before you got your naval pierced then you will still be able to swim afterwards, unless it is so huge that its weight drags your to the bottom. If you have just had your naval pierced it is probably a good idea to avoid swimming until the piercing has completely healed, to avoid any risk of infection. Once it has healed swimming shouldn't be a problem.

Can you wear a nipple ring if you got it pierced with a bar?
Nipple piercings are straight piercings regardless of what jewellery is in the piercing when it was first done, the barbell allows the piercing to discharge and affords room for cleaning better than a ring does. Don't let anyone tell you that if the piercing is done with a curved needle the piercing is curved, that a line of BS. Once the piercing is healed you can change over to what is called a "D" ring this ring has a straight section that goes through the piercing and is by far more comfortable than a standard ring. It has the appearance of a ring but the straight segment allows the ring to be moved without twisting a curvature in the piercing like you would with a standard ring. Ultimately for day to day wear the barbell is going to be your jewelery of choice, for comfort and discretion.

Nipple piercing experiences I'm thinking about getting my nipples pierced but am freaking about how much it's going to hurt. how bad is it really?
It isn't that bad just as long as you breath in through ur nose n out ur mouth only when I got mine done I was getten my second nipple done I tensed up n it hurt a little bit because I was ready for it. It also depends on ur threshold for pain is too. It isn't that bad just follow the bodypiercer's instructions afterwards and you'll be just fine.
