+StevieElizabeth475 not necessarily . If you take proper care of it and are gentle it reduces the chance . but it can still migrate naturally sometimes , if your body just is not happy with it .
I'm really thankful you made this. I've had my belly button piercing for a year and one month and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has taken forever to heal. It's been healing more so in the past few weeks, so I think there's hope lol. Love you, Bree!!
This was so relatable. Mine used to hurt like if my boyfriend hugged me it hurt and I had tiny scabs round it and I was scared it was infected. It's been a year now and it feels completely fine and looks completely normal :)
Your scar looks like nothing compared to mine. I had my belly button for just over 1 year. I thought about taking it out because it wasn't healing properly. Which is nowhere near normal for me. For me piercings heal much quicker for some reason. Which makes my piercer happy and confused at the same time. But my belly button was totally different. It kept getting infected every month or so. The last time it got infected I decided that I was going to remove it but I knew to wait do that so I wouldn't have any remnants of infection left behind. But it decided to reject on me. Now I have this gnarly scar on my stomach. It isn't as bad as it was. This was about 13 years ago. But there's done scars that never go away.
I've had my belly button pierced for 3 years now and I got my inverse belly button pierced 2 years ago and it just fully healed last month ! So I feel your pain!
I absolutely love you! My mom is most likely going to let me get my belly button pierced! And I need to thank you because if it weren't for your videos, there's no way I would know so much, and there definitely no way i would have been ale to convince her without you! THANK YOU!!!!
Do you ever find that the ring doesn't sit straight anymore? That it faces more to the left or right? I've had mine for 3 years and at first it looked fine, but now the bar won't sit straight, it's like the hole became a little too big and now instead of gems on the piercing facing straight, they face to the left or right. I hope this makes sense! Haha, just curious if you've experienced this as well or if that's a sign of migration.
+Stephanie M Sometimes if the skin has thinned out (like mine) some standard sized belly rings can do that. The bar could be too long. I would find jewelry that's maybe smaller in size
Yay omg I've been waiting so long for this video. :) & my question is if you had your belly piercing for almost 5 months and it's a little red on the bottom ball is it infected?? But it doesn't hurt anymore. LOVE YA!!! :)
Haha my mom is the same! I got mine 2 months before my 18th birthday and it took forever to convince her but I finally have it and I love it ! 😍 I can't wait to change it out :) I've had it for 8 months already and it still isn't ready to change :(
i had the same exact experience as you!!!! around 8/9 months i was meant to take it out but kept pushing and a year and 4 months later, its finally all better 💙
I got my belly button pierced almost exactly a year after you got yours. I had it pierced in 2005 when I was 22 and it fell out and closed up and had it re pierced in 2012.
These videos are always just so interesting and informative! I have had my belly button pierced for 6 years now, it migrated a lot:( I barely wear it now, but it stays open. Sounds like you and I are opposites because even when I take out my belly ring or nose ring for months they still do not close!! Awesome how everyone's body reacts differently!! Love ya Bree
Wow Bree your piercings close up fast! I can leave my 1st lobes out for a whole day and they won't close up! Suprising because I had them pierced for about one year and 6 months
I have my belly button pierced and I have always wondered why I have a scar because I never did anything to it so thanks so much for clearing that up for me. I was really worried that I had done something to it.
I watched your keloid video and it didn't really explain if I could use those methods you recommended for my navel piercing (1 year and 3 months old at the moment) that is showing signs of a keloid on the bottom ball of the barbell. Is it possible to use those methods (like the sea salt paste, tea tree oil etc) on a navel piercing that is not infected but has a "bubble like" bump or keloid forming on it?
For the FAQ video.. Just some general questions you could possibly go over but I know you already have previously..How long does it take to heal? What types of jewelry can you put in the piercing? What does the normal healing look like? Migration? Rejection? Love those types of videos (:
Hey bree. I've had my belly pierced for about 3 and a half months (closer to 4 - wow that's gone quickly!) and my piercing is looking like it's healed! Because it can see the hole when I move the bar from side to side and I have no pain with it! I have bought a couple belly bars but I don't know wether to change it or not, what do you think I should do? xx
+xoxoHamsterSelfiesxoxo You should definitely be able to change it. I had trouble with changing mine myself, so I went to see my piercer and she did it for me, and I also got a taper to help me change my belly bar on my own - it's a godsend!
+Flickering Ember thanks for your advice. I'm hoping to change mine soon but the last couple of days I've been having a little bit of puss coming out of it! But with a little bit of care I think it will be fine! xx
I got mine pierced in May and it's still occasionally producing a small amount of pus. But it's definitely fine. As for a taper, it's a small metal rod NORMALLY used to stretch a piercing over time. Let's say you want your standard lobes to go up to 1.6mm gauge...you get yourself a 1.6 taper and put it through the existing pierced hole and over time,push the bit through which is thicker so your ear piercing will become 1.6mm eventually. BUT in this instance, I have a 1.6mm taper which I put straight through my pierced navel; I do it from the top hole through and it comes out of the bottom. I leave it in there while I get my choice of navel bar, and remove the ball (I wear internally threaded ones). I then insert the end of the taper into the top my belly bar, and simultaneously push the bar up into my belly button and pull the taper up and out. My belly bar is then in place and I screw the ball onto the top of it. If you like, I can make a demo video of the process. It takes seconds.
Mine was awesome during the first 4 months and then ripped it a bit with a pair of high waisted jeans (which didn't hurt because it was healed but bleeded a LOT). Now, a year and a half after getting it done is amazing again and fully healed.
Hi Bree, I love, love your eye-liner can you please do a tutorial, I have so much trouble doing my eyeliner and getting the correct one !!! Please please beautiful !!!
I've had mine since May and this is super helpful! Mine is on the bottom so it gets caught a lot on my pants and yoga pants. Ive just stopped wearing them. I dont think it has migrated or at least not the much but i havent taken it out to know for sure i guess. Thanks again, so helpful!
Hi :D just wondering how do you know for sure when it's healed? I remember you saying in another video it should look like it did the moment you got it pierced and there should be no pain but I'm just so worried about switching it out when I think it's time and it getting infected or migrating etc. Sorry if you've already answered this question before, fairly new subscriber :D It was your videos that encouraged me to get more than just my lobes done, now I have a helix and a belly button (mega big deal for me, my dad is a traffic cop in Scotland and was not pleased :p) and hopefully will have second lobes and lower helix with a hip tattoo soon! Excuse my little story I have got going on here. Love your videos
I heard that bellybuttons have high rejection rates. I know it's kinda hard to answer questions that apply to you lol since yours is fully healed, but have you heard about the rejection and migration rates and is it worth it to get a bellybutton piercing?
I had the same experience with mine in the sense that it took 2 years for mines to heal, I had wanted it for so long that I didn't want to take it out (it wasn't migrating or that) and I'm so glad I waited! Mines is also 4 years old x
I have both top and bottom of my belly button pierced for about 3 years now and like yours they both migrated. But instead of migrating downwards like yours they kind of moved to the side. Have you ever heard of anyone's migrating to the side? Love your videos! Thank you in advance!!
I've had mine for 6 months so its obviously still healing and still reddish. I kinda worry about the space between the holes because after the swelling went down the distance shortened too. I developed a hypertrophic scar because my initial 12mm bar was moving up and down. unfortunately, a standart 10mm piercing seems to be too long, so I am currently wearing an 8mm bar and I can still see some of the bar at the bottom. and its not actually rejecting, at least i dont think so, cause i dont have any rejection symptoms. at the beginning what also concerned me was that I could feel the bar through my skin but then I read thats a common thing. Well, that was kinda random, but I just wanted to share my experience.
Can you do a video on your forward helix piercing as I have recently got my triple forward helix and would like to hear about your experience P.s I love you so much 💕
Mine almost took two years to heal & I still have bad days even though I've had it for three. And I wore a long ring once and it didn't turn out nice.... I rarely do anymore and when I do it's in the summer.
What are you using on your brows? That color is so pretty and it's not dark. All the browns I find are too dark for me, as I'm super pale. Ps you're beautiful!
Since at a lot of people's belly piercing might eventually migrate to the point they will have to take it out in your opinion is getting it redone when it gets to that point a good idea??
For your FAQ. If you once had to remove your piercing due to migration, do you think it'll migrate the second time round if you chose to get it repierced? Do you recommend it?
My belly piercing has a keloid on it and its only minor but will it go away ? because im from england and we dont have tea tree oil over here so can anyone suggest what i can use to make it go or will it go by itself ?
i'm relieved that you have a scar too and alot of people do too. i thought i'm the only one who have it and mine is the ugliest lol. i had mine 2 years ago and took about 1 year and a half to fully heal. i had pump on the side of the top hole and gave me hard time to treat it and that where the Litte scar is. my Q is .. what do you advice for darker skin around the percing holes to be lighter and less noticable? hope my Q is clear for you
I know this has nothing to do with this video but can you do an updated daith piercing video? I also have a question about your belly button piercing. what size is the bar meaning what gage is it. love you bree keep the videos comeing
+BreeAnn Barbie Awesome! I got my daith done actually having been inspired by you. It hurt a lot as expected but it has by far been my easiest healing so far. I got my auricle on Saturday and wasn't worried at all as I've a triple helix and OMG - it was and is super painful for some strange reason. Looking forward to the updated daith video.
I've had my belly button piercing for about a year and a half and it was hell to get it to heal. It was definitely the most painful healing experience I've had with any of my piercings. It's migrated and you can see the scar from where it started to where it is now. When I got it pierced I got a standard 10mm long bar and now I comfortable fit about a 6mm long bar. I'm considering taking it out, letting it heal then getting it repierced. I thought perhaps the scar tissue would help prevent it from moving next time but I'm not sure if that would work?
Great video!!! Thinking of getting my belly button pierced and this definitely helped. You said that your nose closed up within half an hour, I thought mine would do this. I had it pierced for 2 months and I had to take it out for an operation on my nose. A week later I tried to put it back in pretty much assuming it was closed and it slid straight back in! 2 weeks later I could put it back in with no problems & I have it in now. I was amazed bc I thought it would be like yours and it'd close up. I guess everyone is different.
My belly piercing rejected and it has been 9 months since I had it taken out, would you recommend getting it done again or would you say it is a waste of time and bad idea?
So, what time of year do you recommend piercing your belly button? I want to be able to go swimming without it bothering me. I know that the healing process can be difficult though
I have had mine for about a year and a half now, it is fully healed but i haven't changed the bar because i cant get the top ball off hahaha it is screwed on so tight, do you have any tips for that? Also my belly button ring has migrated a lot since i got it pierced and I am worried that it is too close to the surface, how yours looks at fours years later is how mine looks at 1 and a half years. How do I know if its too shallow to take it out and if i get it re pierced afterwards will the same thing just happen again since it's how my body reacted the first time? Love your videos they are always so helpful:)
I took my bellybutton piercing out after 4 years because I did not like it anymore but I also caught my belly button piercing over sink and in the kitchen and it was sooo bad and that feeling when it is healing and you reach for something and the skin is all tight I hated it :D
I got my bellybutton pierced one month ago, and my piercer told me that I have the "perfect" bellybutton for a piercing, so that's nice... But one month later I've cleaned it every day, once or twice a day, and I it looks okay. It's still red around the top "hole" but it doesn't hurt too much at all. The only thing is that i've been able to feel the barbel all this time. Is that normal? Or did my piercer pierce it too close to the surface? Thx anyways! Love your channel!
I got mine 5 years ago and I loved it so much but I just took it out a month ago, i felt like it was getting too close to the surface, it was pretty much like yours, but I got it caught one day and then I was like hell no its going out tonight! but I miss it. I massage it regularly hoping it closes but trying to keep the scar tissue soft so I could possibly repierce in the future? I'm not sure. thanks for the great video!!
i got my belly done when i was 14! 2 days before i turned 15 i love it so much! Although im scared when the time comes to change it so, i wondered what was it like changing it for the first time? was it easy to get it in? What technique did you use? And finally what age do you think you will take it out? (sorry if you have been asked these before!) 💜💜
Hi! I tried changing mine the other day , and it really helps pulling the top skin upward and slowly putting in the jewelry! Make sure the jewelry isn't too tight on your skin or it will irritate it ! Hope I helped :)
It's unfortunate that your piercings close so fast! I have had mine since 2005. I thought for sure my belly button would close when I got pregnant with my daughter but i took it out once my baby bump grew and I could still put it back in after I had her. Same as when I got pregnant with my son. It went right in after having it out for almost 9 months. It's interesting how different bodies react different to those sorts of things.
+Heather Feather Wow you're lucky! ALL of mine close fast. Even lobe piercings that I've had for 20 years get super tight if I don't wear anything in them for awhile!
I still want to get mine done but I'm just asking because I haven't found anything out about it yet but I had a baby about a year ago and my skin is softer than what it was if that makes sense but I was just wondering if it would effect the piercing or not or if I would have a greater chance of it migrating?
Do you think looking back your belly button was pierced too shallow?I know pretty much 0 about belly button piercings so just wondered what your thoughts were.I think a lot of people dont realise that technically a belly button piercing is a surface piercing.Your piercing looks amazing and you have an amazing figure too :D(hope that doesnt sound creepy) x
+sarah wardle Nope. It was done professionally and was pierced in the correct spot. :) Yeah a lot of people don't realized that it's a surface piercing and they think it's going to be smooth sailing! haha nope!
I clean mine however I notice that when I take it out to clean maybe every two weeks, the bar of the ring is like dirty, like the part that's inside my skin. Is that normal? It's two years old or two years and a half. I think I want to let it close but I don't want it to get infected if it's dirty inside the hole. Please let me know
Would you consider making a new video on your daith? I got mine done shortly after you did and I'm wondering if you have had similar experiences with it.
Is it possible to get the "bottom" of your belly button pierced and if so does it have a higher rejection rate than belly button piercing on the "top" of your belly button.
+Jasmine Taylor Yes it's possible and it's quite common nowadays! :) It has the same rejection rate but some people experience rejection more because it sits lower and it gets caught on pants a lot easier.
So, I had my belly button pierced twice and it rejected both times. I got it done in February of this year and about two-three months in it started to get a keloid up on the top. I called my piercer and she said to take it out and wait two months and get it redone. So I did that. I got it redone in July and I ended up getting a blood infused bump in the middle of the two piercing holes, I popped it because I could see it was just blood but then the hole stayed so I could touch my piercing through it. So of course I took the ring out and let it heal. I now have a scar that is pretty dark compared to my skin, how can I get rid of that?! I've considered going to a scar revision place to see what they could do. Also, I really want to get it pierced again. Should I take the chance..?
I've had mine for about 5 months and it's still ugly haha😂 were you able to wear high waisted jeans during the healing? I wore some the other day and it pulled on it so much😛
Mine healed in about 3 months is that not normal ? I even went to my piercer and he said it was completely healed and got okay to wear a dangle piercing it is now about to be 11 months old
My belly piercing is 8 months old and I can't seem to get rid of the dry skin on it. Not sure what has dried it out so much. So I guess that's my question--what to use if your belly piercing is really dry. Thanks BreeAnn love the video!
+Jennifer Phillips It could be from the kind of soap you're using or over cleaning it. Over cleaning takes away oils from your skin and healing liquids from getting it pierced making the skin really dry. :)
Just got my belly button pierced a couple of hours ago !!! Hurt quite a bit !!! The piercer told me to just disinfect the piercing with normal antibacterial spray (like when you get a cut) is that ok?
ahh thanks for this video just wondering if u could make a FAQ vid on your Monroe piercing, or Lip piercings In general, I'm getting snakebites Done soon, I'm really informed on the subject and everything but I find you explain things with such depth and a good explanation XD tyy
I got my belly pierced about two months ago and it had redness like at the beginng and I got the h2o ocean spray it went away but it comes and goes is that normal?
Wow yours took so long to heal. My healing process was only a month! I disn't just assume that it was healed I went to my piercer he examined the piercing and said it was fully healed.
+BreeAnn Barbie I've had mine for over 3 months (closer to 4 now) and I think it's practically healed! I'm hoping to change it soon but I'm kind of too scared!! How did you pluck up the courage to change it? x
I had a infection already and i have only had mine pierced for almost 2 months.... I used H2Ocean Spray and it took away the redness around the top ball. It's Been a couple weeks since i got rid of the infection but the top ball is starting to turn a slight red but not nothing major is this normal? Does it turn red then go away and come back?
Ive had my belly pierced for 3 months now, and my piercing is at about the same distance from my belly button as yours is. Im worried will it migrate more and look really bad? Thanks!!
How long does it move and migrate? Mine is like yours, the skin has gotten thinner over the years, but I had a baby too. So I dunno if it stretch bc of that, I took my ring out when i was pregnant so it wouldn't stretch and it never grew up. Its been pretty much in the same spot, just thinner looking. I got my done when I was 16, and I'm 26
+Mindy B Having babies definitely changes the skin especially on belly button piercings so that could be it. Sometimes it'll move too much to the point of fully rejecting out and sometimes it'll just move to a more 'comfortable' position in the body. Just keep an eye on it. :)
Hey! I would really appreciate if you could talk about what's normal with your belly button piercing for, like the first month? Like, about how it should look and feel? And a bit more information about rejection? Thank you so, so much if you could touch up kn these questions :)
+Julia Ravines I have an entire playlist that talks about ALL those things! The link is in the description for the playlist and you'll find all those videos in there!
what if it heals a little bit crooked? if I wear dangly belly bars will it still look so crooked?(its such a stupid question but I just want to know if I should just get it repierced. I don't wanna go round with a crooked bar when I'm actually going to show it off x)
at first I cleaned mine with antibacterial soap then I started using my ear piercing cleaner and it made it heal faster. At the 2 month mark I changed it and nothing happened so as of right now it's healed
I've had mine for over two years and mine has also definitely changed. Top tip:don't wear high waisted skint jeans too much mine got so angry from it haha
Oh man I feel your pain there with it getting caught on something and then having it pulled :( Unfortunately for my piercing it started to migrate and then one day a dog jumped on me and some how it got caught on his paw I guess and when he jumped down he ripped it out right through the skin it hurt soo fricken bad and now I am sadly left with a very nasty scar lol I'd like to get it pierced again do you have any idea if that's at all possible? the scarring is pretty bad but idk much about being able to get things like that re pierced or not :/
+Kay Kay Ohh no!! :( Depending on how bad your scarring is you could get it redone. I would go see a piercer and have them take a look so you can know for sure. :)
Slaying that octopus necklace 💁🏻
After a belly button piercing is healed, can it still reject or migrate to the point you need to take it out?
When you were talking about the dangly belly ring I was wincing and in pain for you! I know how you feel girl!
&& Another question, will all belly button piercings migrate?
+StevieElizabeth475 not all do but it's a possibility for everyone
+StevieElizabeth475 no
+StevieElizabeth475 not necessarily . If you take proper care of it and are gentle it reduces the chance . but it can still migrate naturally sometimes , if your body just is not happy with it .
***** no, not all of them will, it depend on your body:)
I'm really thankful you made this. I've had my belly button piercing for a year and one month and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has taken forever to heal. It's been healing more so in the past few weeks, so I think there's hope lol. Love you, Bree!!
+Ashley Vaught Love you! Glad this helped!
I cringed so much at the cabinet story. I catch my belly ring on stuff all the time, but that sounds so painful
This was so relatable. Mine used to hurt like if my boyfriend hugged me it hurt and I had tiny scabs round it and I was scared it was infected. It's been a year now and it feels completely fine and looks completely normal :)
Your scar looks like nothing compared to mine. I had my belly button for just over 1 year. I thought about taking it out because it wasn't healing properly. Which is nowhere near normal for me.

I've had mine for a year and a half now. Mine even migrated too, so its very similar to yours. Glad to know there's nothing really wrong with it.
I've had my belly button pierced for 3 years now and I got my inverse belly button pierced 2 years ago and it just fully healed last month ! So I feel your pain!
Mine healed pretty fast and with absolutely 0 complications. Good video !!!
I absolutely love you! My mom is most likely going to let me get my belly button pierced! And I need to thank you because if it weren't for your videos, there's no way I would know so much, and there definitely no way i would have been ale to convince her without you! THANK YOU!!!!

That's what I was thinking-getting a different size to try out. But thank you for the response : )
You're welcome!

you need to stop you're so pretty 😍 and all of your piercings look so good on you! 😍😍😍

Wow Bree your piercings close up fast! I can leave my 1st lobes out for a whole day and they won't close up! Suprising because I had them pierced for about one year and 6 months

I would love to see how you did this makeup look :) I love it!

Your eyes are beautiful. I don't know if its your make up or something but they really stand out
great video! I got lucky with my naval piercing. with my 3 pregnancies I would take it out and it never closed up.
+Alisha goff LUCKY!!
Hey bree. I've had my belly pierced for about 3 and a half months (closer to 4 - wow that's gone quickly!) and my piercing is looking like it's healed!

I heard that bellybuttons have high rejection rates. I know it's kinda hard to answer questions that apply to you lol since yours is fully healed, but have you heard about the rejection and migration rates and is it worth it to get a bellybutton piercing?
I am 17 and my mom is soo against piercings how can I convince her??!
+Taisha Wait a year, then you'll be 18 and you can do whatever you want. :D
I had the same experience with mine in the sense that it took 2 years for mines to heal, I had wanted it for so long that I didn't want to take it out (it wasn't migrating or that) and I'm so glad I waited! Mines is also 4 years old x
+Chellyfish2010 Same! I was determined to get it to heal it just took FOREVER!
it's now one of my favourite piercings! i've had issues with bars falling out to the point i carry spares cause i really don't want it to close up!
Your piercing and tattoo vids are my favourite!!!:):):)
+Synyster 64 :)
your so Beautiful Bree,your doing a good job helping orders to understand body modification
+Dania Currie Thank you!
your welcome hun just keep doing what you do best
I have both top and bottom of my belly button pierced for about 3 years now and like yours they both migrated. But instead of migrating downwards like yours they kind of moved to the side. Have you ever heard of anyone's migrating to the side? Love your videos! Thank you in advance!!
+Belma Kantarevic Yes they can migrate anywhere really! It's all up to your body and where it finds it more 'comfortable'
+BreeAnn Barbie thank you for clearing that up for me!
I've had mine for 6 months so its obviously still healing and still reddish. I kinda worry about the space between the holes because after the swelling went down the distance shortened too. I developed a hypertrophic scar because my initial 12mm bar was moving up and down. unfortunately, a standart 10mm piercing seems to be too long, so I am currently wearing an 8mm bar and I can still see some of the bar at the bottom. and its not actually rejecting, at least i dont think so, cause i dont have any rejection symptoms. at the beginning what also concerned me was that I could feel the bar through my skin but then I read thats a common thing. Well, that was kinda random, but I just wanted to share my experience.
Mine was like this and ended up rejecting ☹
Can you do a video on your forward helix piercing as I have recently got my triple forward helix and would like to hear about your experience
P.s I love you so much 💕
Mine almost took two years to heal & I still have bad days even though I've had it for three. And I wore a long ring once and it didn't turn out nice.... I rarely do anymore and when I do it's in the summer.
thank you bree very useful :) can't wait for the faq i wanna get this piercing too
+Suzy Melonlady You're welcome!
What are you using on your brows? That color is so pretty and it's not dark. All the browns I find are too dark for me, as I'm super pale. Ps you're beautiful!
even thought your piercing is "healed" can it still get infected? and also how long did it take for your cartilige to heal
Since at a lot of people's belly piercing might eventually migrate to the point they will have to take it out in your opinion is getting it redone when it gets to that point a good idea??
+Alyson Condrey That's totally up to that person and if they want too or not.
For your FAQ. If you once had to remove your piercing due to migration, do you think it'll migrate the second time round if you chose to get it repierced? Do you recommend it?
that necklace is amazing 😍
My belly piercing has a keloid on it and its only minor but will it go away ? because im from england and we dont have tea tree oil over here so can anyone suggest what i can use to make it go or will it go by itself ?
i'm relieved that you have a scar too and alot of people do too. i thought i'm the only one who have it and mine is the ugliest lol. i had mine 2 years ago and took about 1 year and a half to fully heal. i had pump on the side of the top hole and gave me hard time to treat it and that where the Litte scar is.
my Q is .. what do you advice for darker skin around the percing holes to be lighter and less noticable?
hope my Q is clear for you
I know this has nothing to do with this video but can you do an updated daith piercing video? I also have a question about your belly button piercing. what size is the bar meaning what gage is it. love you bree keep the videos comeing
+LannaLou20 Yes I will do an updated one! :) I wear either a 14 or 16g. :)
+BreeAnn Barbie Awesome! I got my daith done actually having been inspired by you. It hurt a lot as expected but it has by far been my easiest healing so far. I got my auricle on Saturday and wasn't worried at all as I've a triple helix and OMG - it was and is super painful for some strange reason. Looking forward to the updated daith video.
Love the octopus necklace!
+Roxanne Phillips Thanks!
I've had my belly button piercing for about a year and a half and it was hell to get it to heal. It was definitely the most painful healing experience I've had with any of my piercings. It's migrated and you can see the scar from where it started to where it is now. When I got it pierced I got a standard 10mm long bar and now I comfortable fit about a 6mm long bar. I'm considering taking it out, letting it heal then getting it repierced. I thought perhaps the scar tissue would help prevent it from moving next time but I'm not sure if that would work?
Great video!!! Thinking of getting my belly button pierced and this definitely helped. You said that your nose closed up within half an hour, I thought mine would do this. I had it pierced for 2 months and I had to take it out for an operation on my nose. A week later I tried to put it back in pretty much assuming it was closed and it slid straight back in! 2 weeks later I could put it back in with no problems & I have it in now. I was amazed bc I thought it would be like yours and it'd close up. I guess everyone is different.
My belly piercing rejected and it has been 9 months since I had it taken out, would you recommend getting it done again or would you say it is a waste of time and bad idea?
So, what time of year do you recommend piercing your belly button? I want to be able to go swimming without it bothering me. I know that the healing process can be difficult though
+Leila Winchester Definitely the colder months when you're not going to be swimming.
Mine fell off😢 I only had it for a week. Should I get it done again?
I have had mine for about a year and a half now, it is fully healed but i haven't changed the bar because i cant get the top ball off hahaha it is screwed on so tight, do you have any tips for that? Also my belly button ring has migrated a lot since i got it pierced and I am worried that it is too close to the surface, how yours looks at fours years later is how mine looks at 1 and a half years. How do I know if its too shallow to take it out and if i get it re pierced afterwards will the same thing just happen again since it's how my body reacted the first time? Love your videos they are always so helpful:)
I took my bellybutton piercing out after 4 years because I did not like it anymore but I also caught my belly button piercing over sink and in the kitchen and it was sooo bad and that feeling when it is healing and you reach for something and the skin is all tight I hated it :D
Did yours ever looked like bruised at the top in the healing process? Is it normal? What does it mean cause mine is currently like that
I got my bellybutton pierced one month ago, and my piercer told me that I have the "perfect" bellybutton for a piercing, so that's nice... But one month later I've cleaned it every day, once or twice a day, and I it looks okay. It's still red around the top "hole" but it doesn't hurt too much at all. The only thing is that i've been able to feel the barbel all this time. Is that normal? Or did my piercer pierce it too close to the surface? Thx anyways! Love your channel!
Really loved this video 💜
+Julie Andersen Glad you enjoyed it!
I got mine 5 years ago and I loved it so much but I just took it out a month ago, i felt like it was getting too close to the surface, it was pretty much like yours, but I got it caught one day and then I was like hell no its going out tonight! but I miss it. I massage it regularly hoping it closes but trying to keep the scar tissue soft so I could possibly repierce in the future? I'm not sure. thanks for the great video!!
+smileforme94xo Yes you could if you wanted too! You're welcome!
i got my belly done when i was 14! 2 days before i turned 15 i love it so much! Although im scared when the time comes to change it so, i wondered what was it like changing it for the first time? was it easy to get it in? What technique did you use? And finally what age do you think you will take it out? (sorry if you have been asked these before!) 💜💜
Hi! I tried changing mine the other day , and it really helps pulling the top skin upward and slowly putting in the jewelry! Make sure the jewelry isn't too tight on your skin or it will irritate it ! Hope I helped :)
It's unfortunate that your piercings close so fast! I have had mine since 2005. I thought for sure my belly button would close when I got pregnant with my daughter but i took it out once my baby bump grew and I could still put it back in after I had her. Same as when I got pregnant with my son. It went right in after having it out for almost 9 months. It's interesting how different bodies react different to those sorts of things.
+Heather Feather Wow you're lucky! ALL of mine close fast. Even lobe piercings that I've had for 20 years get super tight if I don't wear anything in them for awhile!
I still want to get mine done but I'm just asking because I haven't found anything out about it yet but I had a baby about a year ago and my skin is softer than what it was if that makes sense but I was just wondering if it would effect the piercing or not or if I would have a greater chance of it migrating?
Do you think looking back your belly button was pierced too shallow?I know pretty much 0 about belly button piercings so just wondered what your thoughts were.I think a lot of people dont realise that technically a belly button piercing is a surface piercing.Your piercing looks amazing and you have an amazing figure too :D(hope that doesnt sound creepy) x
+sarah wardle Nope. It was done professionally and was pierced in the correct spot. :) Yeah a lot of people don't realized that it's a surface piercing and they think it's going to be smooth sailing! haha nope!
I clean mine however I notice that when I take it out to clean maybe every two weeks, the bar of the ring is like dirty, like the part that's inside my skin. Is that normal? It's two years old or two years and a half. I think I want to let it close but I don't want it to get infected if it's dirty inside the hole. Please let me know
Would you consider making a new video on your daith? I got mine done shortly after you did and I'm wondering if you have had similar experiences with it.
+AprilLauren 14 Yes I will do an update on it! :)
Is it possible to get the "bottom" of your belly button pierced and if so does it have a higher rejection rate than belly button piercing on the "top" of your belly button.
+Jasmine Taylor Yes it's possible and it's quite common nowadays! :)
It has the same rejection rate but some people experience rejection more because it sits lower and it gets caught on pants a lot easier.
So, I had my belly button pierced twice and it rejected both times. I got it done in February of this year and about two-three months in it started to get a keloid up on the top. I called my piercer and she said to take it out and wait two months and get it redone. So I did that. I got it redone in July and I ended up getting a blood infused bump in the middle of the two piercing holes, I popped it because I could see it was just blood but then the hole stayed so I could touch my piercing through it. So of course I took the ring out and let it heal. I now have a scar that is pretty dark compared to my skin, how can I get rid of that?! I've considered going to a scar revision place to see what they could do. Also, I really want to get it pierced again. Should I take the chance..?
I've had mine for about 5 months and it's still ugly haha😂 were you able to wear high waisted jeans during the healing? I wore some the other day and it pulled on it so much😛
+Hannah Reddin I don't wear high waisted clothing but defintely not a good thing to wear while it's healing that's for sure!
Yesssss I've been waiting for this !!!!
Mine healed in about 3 months is that not normal ? I even went to my piercer and he said it was completely healed and got okay to wear a dangle piercing it is now about to be 11 months old
My belly piercing is 8 months old and I can't seem to get rid of the dry skin on it. Not sure what has dried it out so much. So I guess that's my question--what to use if your belly piercing is really dry. Thanks BreeAnn love the video!
+Jennifer Phillips It could be from the kind of soap you're using or over cleaning it. Over cleaning takes away oils from your skin and healing liquids from getting it pierced making the skin really dry. :)
+BreeAnn Barbie I never thought about the soap but I use dial soap and I bet that's it! Ty I never thought of that.
YAY PIERCING VIDEO!! 😍Did you vlog halloween??!!
+Nicole Sainsbury I worked a 9 hour shift on halloween so nope.
+BreeAnn Barbie Oh wow good for you!!! :) It's okay I was just curious if you did!
sometimes my belly button piercing starts crusting randomly . when no crusting has happen for weeks its about 6 months
is that normal?
+Beaira Yes
can u do an updated tattoo showing your tattoos hars to see in other videos. I like to see yours for inspiration
+April P I will eventually. People aren't nice when it comes to my tattoos so I don't feel ready to film that yet.
+BreeAnn Barbie When you ready. lovin your piercing vids very handy thanks
When you first got you belly button pierced could you feel the bar? Because I can feel mine. And is it normal that I can feel mine?
+Alyssa Henderson Yes!
+BreeAnn Barbie thank you☺️
What lip color is this? It looks so good on you!
+Alyssa Rhondeau I think this was 'Posh Spice' by Jeffree Star Cosmetics.
What is better to use on a belly button piercing sea salt solution or the anti bacterial soap method?
+Paige Newton Both are great in my opinion. But don't over use either of those methods otherwise your skin will get irritated/dry out.
.my belly button actualy healed in like 4 months tops I was givin the ok by my piercer to change after 6 months but everyone heals different
+Kristina Franz That is true. And for it to be healed 100% in just 4 months is EXTREMELY rare.
Just got my belly button pierced a couple of hours ago !!! Hurt quite a bit !!! The piercer told me to just disinfect the piercing with normal antibacterial spray (like when you get a cut) is that ok?
+TaniasGlitz&Glamz Yes that's fine just as long as you don't use too much of the spray because that can dry out/irritate the piercing & skin.
when yu like the video at the start before its even finished cause yu already know its just gonna be amazing😂😭x
+Baee You're the best!
ahh thanks for this video
just wondering if u could make a FAQ vid on your Monroe piercing, or Lip piercings In general, I'm getting snakebites Done soon, I'm really informed on the subject and everything but I find you explain things with such depth and a good explanation XD tyy
I got my belly pierced about two months ago and it had redness like at the beginng and I got the h2o ocean spray it went away but it comes and goes is that normal?
You look so stunning !
+Tiffgod Thank you!
Wow yours took so long to heal. My healing process was only a month! I disn't just assume that it was healed I went to my piercer he examined the piercing and said it was fully healed.
+Lidia Lazicka That's rare.
A month..... I don't think so
+BreeAnn Barbie I've had mine for over 3 months (closer to 4 now) and I think it's practically healed! I'm hoping to change it soon but I'm kind of too scared!! How did you pluck up the courage to change it? x
I had a infection already and i have only had mine pierced for almost 2 months.... I used H2Ocean Spray and it took away the redness around the top ball. It's Been a couple weeks since i got rid of the infection but the top ball is starting to turn a slight red but not nothing major is this normal? Does it turn red then go away and come back?
You should do a updated jewelry collection.
+Kelsey Chapman The most recent on my channel is what it still is! It's from this year!
Ive had my belly pierced for 3 months now, and my piercing is at about the same distance from my belly button as yours is. Im worried will it migrate more and look really bad? Thanks!!
+alimon6 Just keep an eye on it. :)
How long does it move and migrate? Mine is like yours, the skin has gotten thinner over the years, but I had a baby too. So I dunno if it stretch bc of that, I took my ring out when i was pregnant so it wouldn't stretch and it never grew up. Its been pretty much in the same spot, just thinner looking. I got my done when I was 16, and I'm 26
+Mindy B Having babies definitely changes the skin especially on belly button piercings so that could be it. Sometimes it'll move too much to the point of fully rejecting out and sometimes it'll just move to a more 'comfortable' position in the body. Just keep an eye on it. :)
Also it's been a year since I've had this piercing can it still reject or no?
Hey! I would really appreciate if you could talk about what's normal with your belly button piercing for, like the first month? Like, about how it should look and feel? And a bit more information about rejection? Thank you so, so much if you could touch up kn these questions :)
+Julia Ravines I have an entire playlist that talks about ALL those things! The link is in the description for the playlist and you'll find all those videos in there!
what if it heals a little bit crooked? if I wear dangly belly bars will it still look so crooked?(its such a stupid question but I just want to know if I should just get it repierced. I don't wanna go round with a crooked bar when I'm actually going to show it off x)
+The_Gambler _90210 Sometimes belly button piercings can get pierced crooked. Sometimes they're crooked until it fully settles and heals.
+BreeAnn Barbie okay thanks x
at first I cleaned mine with antibacterial soap then I started using my ear piercing cleaner and it made it heal faster. At the 2 month mark I changed it and nothing happened so as of right now it's healed
Is externally threaded or internally threaded jewelry better for a belly button piercing?
+Emily Bunny I will answer this in the FAQ video! :)
I've had mine for over two years and mine has also definitely changed. Top tip:don't wear high waisted skint jeans too much mine got so angry from it haha
+Paris Millmow ESPECIALLY during healing!
Most definitely you have to baby it for such a long time but totally worth it in the end!
Oh man I feel your pain there with it getting caught on something and then having it pulled :( Unfortunately for my piercing it started to migrate and then one day a dog jumped on me and some how it got caught on his paw I guess and when he jumped down he ripped it out right through the skin it hurt soo fricken bad and now I am sadly left with a very nasty scar lol I'd like to get it pierced again do you have any idea if that's at all possible? the scarring is pretty bad but idk much about being able to get things like that re pierced or not :/
+Kay Kay Ohh no!! :( Depending on how bad your scarring is you could get it redone. I would go see a piercer and have them take a look so you can know for sure. :)
+BreeAnn Barbie I'll definitely look into that then I miss it lol thank you!! :)
If the belly ring actually ripped out of your skin would u get the piercing again?
+Aarushi Gupta Depends on how it heals.
Talk about your daith piercing.Recently got mine in July and I really want to hear somebody else's experience 😊
She did a whole video on it....
