How long do you have to wait to go in the pool after piercing your belly button?

2-3 months. Don't swim in pools, oceans, lakes, or anything else. Yes, the ocean has salt in it but it's also FILLED with germs. Swimming with a new piercing is just begging for an infection.

Is it good to swim in a chlorine pool with a almost 3 month old belly button piercing?
At three months the piercing should be healed, at least mostly. That means that swimming in chlorine will not affect it. Still steer clear of lakes and streams.

Worlds largest belly button?
Steven Hehr - His belly button has been known to hold upward of 1.50 in quarters. In his youth, while lounging in a pool, he would fill his belly button with water and use it as an ash tray. This was before his belly button expanded to it's freakishly large size as can be seen today. If you ever wish to see his naval, all you need to do is ask. He relishes in the attention he gets from his gargantuan crater of a belly button.

You don't have to. Pools contain chlorine. The chlorine actually prevents infection.
Can you go swimmin after piercing belly button?
I don't really think so, chlorine isn't good for a piercing (if you're swimming in a pool) and salt water, even though helps heal and get rid of infection for piercings, can always have a lot of bacteria in it (and fish poop). My suggestion is, don't go swimming until it's fully healed (which can take 6-12 months to heal unfortunately :/).

Is it ok if you cover your belly button up to go swimm if you have just gotton it done like 6 days ago?
Waterproof Protection Don't expose your piercing to a hot tub, pool, lake, ocean, or any body of water, even if it seems clean. The chemicals in heavily chlorinated pools could be as damaging as the microorganisms and dirt in natural bodies of water. Protect your piercing with a Nexcare Waterproof Bandage, a Tegaderm Transparent Dressing, or similar covering. If you don't use a sealant bandage, then you should avoid submerging (or even splash- ing) your healing piercing.
How long will it take for your belly button to heal up after ive had it periced?
For a navel piercing it may take 3 months to a year (sometimes a little longer) to completely heal. My navel only took 2 months for mine to heal. I was told it would take 4-6 months by the place I had it done. However, according to professionals, it can take up to a year to heal completely.
How long after getting a cartilage piercing should you wait to go swimming in a lake or a pool to be safe?
yeah, you would wanna wait so it doesnt get infected, so yeah, i tihnk 3 weeks is fine Get advice from your physician and not people who have no idea about such things. The studio that pierced my cartilage said I could go swimming in a pool the very next day, as long as I don't play with the piercing under water.

Straight away as far as i know. I went swimming about 3-4 months after getting mine pierced but my friend went about 1 month after. I dont think it matters as long as you look after your piercing and clean it regularly!
