In my opinion navels are an absolute B*ASTARD to heal and a lot of people I've met agree. The placemnt of them means they're so easy to catch andpull on things. I'd definately recoment you get it pierced with a bar not a ring. I had the side of my navel done with a ring and that was a biiiigf mistake.
i have my nose, ears and belly done and my belly was the most painful at the time, but then recovered and was pain free the quickest.
