Can you use a Sewing needle as a piercing?

no A sewing needle is a sharpened piece of metal. If you try to shove a sewing needle through skin, you will cause a lot of damage, which will in turn lead to longer heals and possible scarring. When a piercer does the piercing, they use a hypodermic needle. It is a hollow needle with razor sharp edges on the point. They are designed to slice and separate the skin, causing as minimal damage as possible. When looking to have a piercing, consult a professional piercer. Piercing is not a do it yourself project.

What are the odds of having a successful navel piercing after having 3 navel piercing rejections?

The most obvious predictor are the THREE rejections you've already had. Did you really need to ask? Please. There is a proven fact that if you were to repierce on the scar tissue, it would be less likely to reject. the question is what kind of jewerly are you using? If you want it to less likely reject, then you should use either titanium or gold.


What kind of problems do navel rings cause?

Navel rings don't actually cause any trouble, it's the mis use of the aftercare routeen and user error that causes the problem. Navel piercings need to be clean and they need fresh air in order to heal, more often than not people wear tight clothing and cover the piercing for hours on end thus not allowing the piercing to breath. Then skipping the proper cleaning routeen or over cleaning the piercing can cause trouble again. I have provided hundreds of ladies with navel piercings and out of that group only 6% had issues due to the above listed points. # Buy only the best jewellery form known quality vendors (piercing studios) # Get the piercing professionally done by a shop with an excellent track record # Follow the instructions you have been given and if you have trouble go back to the studio for help. # Give the piercing time to heal 3~6 months of longer. Follow the above listed points and you should have no trouble with your navel piercing.


Can you go to the beach after a 2 day old navel piercing?

Sure why not? Unless there is a magic force field that prohibits you from enjoying life due to your navel piercing why not. Use common sense, if you go in the water be sure when you get home you wash your new piercing in the shower, other than that fill your boots or should that be your sand bucket? Have fun.

Why do you have to use a hollow needle for piercing?

ummm they use that because the piercing has to be big and has to stay open so you can have A BETTER HOLE FOR THE PIERCINGno, you idiot. i have quite a few piercing, 7 on one ear 8 on the other, nose, tongue, snake bites, navel(bellybutton) and hips.the needle must be hollow because then when they have pierced it, they put the bar of the jewellery in the end, and when they pull the needle the rest of the way through, the jewellery will go into the hole. all they must then do is screw on the ball.Technically both previous answers were correct (even the rude one). Due to the size and the fact that you are cutting the skin and leaving a precise hole a hollow needle is less traumatic than a sewing needle. The hollow end is also convenient as you can slip the piece of jewelery through the fresh hole as the needle exits. Your piercer should always be using a hollow needle, if you see a gun (even for ears) LEAVE!
