Inviting a PROFESSIONAL licensed piercer to your home because any other way is stupid. A belly button piercing is the only common piercing considered a "surface" piercing and is the longest healing and most often rejected piercing there is. Placement, needle size and symmetry are not only important for esthetic but more so for proper healing. Burning a needle and letting your punk friend do it is just asking for an infection, a unattractive scar and lots of regrets when you're older.

If they piercing had not fully healed before you took the jewellery out it could become infected. If the inital piercing had healed, the soreness and redness should go do on its own. You can help it by using ice, and keeping the area clean.

How long will navel piercing stay open with no ring?
The piercing will start to shrink almost right away, but the piercing will not close completely for a few hours till it shrinks to a point where it can start to close on it's own. Be careful when replacing the jewellery do so after a shower where the tissue is moist and the jewellery can be replaced without having to force it into the piercing. If it's too snug go see your local body piercer to have the piercing tapered open to replace the jewellery.
Where do you get a navel piercing kit from?
Well they are generally sold on line, but before you go getting any bright idea that you will save yourself time or money by doing it your self let me tell you some things about navel piercing. Professionally done navel piercings heal much better and are placed correctly and it the right depth. If you have trouble with your self done navel piercing you are for the most part on your own (don't expect a whole lot of help or sympathy from anyone let alone a professional body piercer). These do it your self kits are irresponsible and dangerous, the places that sell them will not take any responsibility for the kit, how you use it or any complications that may occur as a result of the kit being used. It's all about the money to them and to the manufacturers of the kits, actually they bank on people like you, who don't know anything about piercing to unknowing buy a kit go home and screw yourself up. You have a 50/50 chance of maybe getting it right, but more often as not you end up botching the job and wind up with a screwed up piercing and you are out 30 ~ 40 bucks in doing so which could have been put toward seeing a professional body piercer in the first place. Listen you care about your looks, you want to show your self off with a great navel piercing, so listen to common sense get it done by a trained professional body piercer who will be there to help you with after care assistance and guidance through the whole piercing and healing process with the years of knowledge and experience to get that piercing healed properly the first time around.
Does it hurt to get your belly button peirced?
i pierced my own navel and it doesnt hurt that bad, i would only say like a 4 on a rating with10 being horrible. but once you have it in dont take it out or it will hurt horrible Self piercing is by far the worst thing you can do to yourself. The risks of infection rejection and basicly making a right royal mess out of a perfectly good navel is not very intelligent. Be smart, see a professional body piercer and have it done right the first time. Done professionally a navel piercing is quick, clean and next to painless.
What are some things you can't do when you have your navel pierced or you can't do right away?
Well common sense should tell you, if not pain and discomfort will.

Go ease for the first few days and let your body heal the piercing a bit before you go doing anything involving lots of stretching and pulling.

Is 6 weeks long enough to change your belly ring?
No doubt your professional body piercer covered what you can and cant do with your new piercing. Changing the jewellery too soon was one of the points. So I will explain this to you again so you understand why we want you to leave it alone. Navel piercing is a piercing done through the surface tissue above the navel, this tissue has very little blood circulation on it's own (skin doesn't need a lot of circulation to stay health). Piercing this tissue invokes a reaction in the body to the trauma of being cut or pierced. The surrounding tissue *hardens (* feels like a little lump around the piercing entry and exit points) as a guarding maneuver to protect the other tissue. Light redness at the top point of the piercing is due to normal clothing irritation and will pass as the healing progresses. The jewellery used for the piercing (bent barbell, navel gem or captive bead ring) is made from biocompatible material (* materials tested to be acceptable for use in the body and will not cause an adverse reaction) and designed to allow the body to heal the piercing without causing excessive irritation. The body will generate lymphatic matter (* whitish yellow matter) as it start to heal the piercing, this discharge will ease off as the piercing starts to heal and toughen up or as we say "season". Healing times vary from person to person but ultimately no piercing is considered truly "seasoned" until it's a year old. Jewellery changing causes undue stress to a new piercing, in some cases actually damaging the fine new tissue the body is trying to form. This is why we tell you to wait 3 to 6 months for the piercing to heal enough where it can handle the stresses of being changed. As I noted before the navel takes a long time to heal and a week just doesn't cover it. You need to know that not all body jewellery is the same, almost every mall store selling body jewellery is selling garbage material from Asia. Made from substandard materials this can cause allergic reactions, infections and serious complications can result from putting the junk in a good piercing.

Yes it's called ICE, you should have written aftercare instructions for the care of your piercing and what to do to control swelling. If you dont have instructions then contact your piercer and ask for them, unless this was a DIY piercing then you are on your own.
