Story: Ever since I wuz younger I wanted alot of piercings. About 2 months before I turned 13 I convinced my mom to let me get my nose pierced and since then I've been hooked :P
One night my best friend and I spent the nite at my other friend's place. We were just hanging out and talking and stuff when I decided it would be cool if I pierced my belly. Most of my g/f's have had theirs done and I absolutely loved them so I figured I'd give it a try.
My best friend had tons of belly rings and stuff and we found a needle that matched the size of the barbell. We cleaned it for about an hour b4 we decided to do it just to be safe. I didn't want an infection or anything cuz I knew I'd wanna keep it.
We got ready and I got really nervous since it was my first time piercing anything myself besides my ears. I had to get my friend to push the needle through because I couldn't see where the needle was going through the bottom. I held another friends hand and closed my eyes. The needle went through fine and it only hurt a little, I'm sure if I would have got it done professionally it wouldn't have hurt at all though. We put a belly ring in and cleaned it all out. It looked awesome! I really liked it. About 3 weeks afterwards it still hadn't shown any signs of it healing so I decided it would be best to just take it out.
