If you have to ask this you probably shouldn't be doing it, but the reason they don't allow blood donations from persons with body piercings is because of the highly increased risk of potentially fatal infectious diseases, some of which can go undetectable for up to ten years or longer.  That length of time could add up to hundreds or even thousands of people being infected by just one person during the space of ten years.  The risk is too great, therefore they will not take the chance and simply refuse donations from body pierced donors.

yes, you can get your belly done when your under 18- i have mine done and I'm 15. even in some places that i know of you can get it done without your parent. but i don't suggest you do it without your mum and dad knowing.

When you get your belly peirced how long do you keep it in for before you can switch the ring? And about how much of the skin do they take for the piercing..?? And would you suggest getting it done in the winter or the summer?

i have my belly button peirce, if you are under 18 don't get it peirced somewhere that will do it without a parent. if they aren't strict with that than they probably aren't with the health factors.the best time to get it peirced is in the fall or winter because you aren't supposed to go swimming when you first get it done.they don't take much skin just pinch your belly button and you can estimate how much they take.

nose piercings can get infected as can any other piercing but if you look after it proberly then you should be fine. I have 9 piercings and I've cleaned all of them with salt water and they have all been great! If you get it done enjoy!!!! p.s what part of your nose????

to the swimming 45 days after getting your Navel pierced... DO NOT GO SWIMMING! It will get infected and the chlorene will irritate it... wait at least a month before you go. If you want to go swimming... go... but dont say  i didnt warn you.

I think everyone there needs to check themselves. First your parents struggle if they'll let you pierce yourself when you're 11. Second, most body piercings are outrageously sensitive... i have them myself, and if not taken care of extremely well, they smell bad, get infected and then scar badly. Its something you need to think over.

I think if you are going to get your belly pierced you should just do it. I got a piercing and I was only 17. And I didn't have an adult. So if you really want it you will get it done no matter what it takes.

If you get a navel peircing which is what it truley is. Not a belly button peircing sheesh. Simpley do what the body mod artist tells you and everything will work out fine. As far a pain goes everybody has a difrent tolerence to pain wimps need not apply. I kinda like it and look forward to more tattoos and other types of bm(body modification). I curently have one tribal design on my left arm and my right brow is peirced. Its adictive so becarefull about what you chose to do or all your money goes towards the closest tattoo parlor. As far as peirciengs clean with alcohol never use perocides. You can lightly clean with soap and water in the shower but be gentile as flesh will be sensetive. Once its healed do what you want i dont care

hey y'all im 15 i peirce my own ears and have 14 peircings in my ears altogether. I have my nose peirced 2 times and i had my belly button peirced but it got infected and i let it heal up. Having your nose and belly button peirced is just the same as having your ears peirced. And just so y'all no i am not a punk or a goth i just want a couple of peircings they heal up if you dont want them so they are much betta than tattoo's! Go for it y'all its no big deal!

I'm 14 and I wanted to know if I could get my navel pierced without my parents being present. Could they just like write a note saying it's okay, or do one of them need to physically be there when I get it done. My parents told me that I could go for it but they're really busy with work and things and just don't have time to be there. Also, if it is not possible for one of  my parents to be there, could I bring my aunt or uncle? Thanks :)

To whomever was asking if nose peircings hurt. Yes they do hurt. More than a belly button or eyebrow, but the pain is not unbearable. It really only hurts when they are doing the procedure, so like a minute. Then it hurts for about a week after when you are cleaning and moving it around.

for all of you who want to persuade your parents, most of the parents r worried about responsibility, so show them that you are responsible by like looking up places in your area to get it done, prices, safety hazards, calling the place to find out questions for example how long have they been in business, cost, visit it with a friend make sure its sanitary. also u can get it done at a plastic surgeon they give u a numbing shot so i doesnt hurt at all except the shot but thats not too bad lol. hope that helped sum1... oh and def. dont say "all my friends r getting it" that wont work... lol

And we were gonna do it after she got back, but we're going to Florida at the end of the month *she gets back the 2nd*.

I'm 16 and I had my naval pierced 18 months ago.  If you are doing it at a nice place, they  will require a parent/guardian to be there.  The place I went to photocopied mine and my mom's driver's licenses.  It hurt.  It healed fairly quickly and it was much less painful than a cartilage piercing.

OK so u want your navel pierced. First of all have you thought it over i got mine done when i 10 and it didn't hurt but that depends on the person and how good they deal with pain. I myself have 3 tattoos and 9 piercings and none of them hurt at all. Yes every one should have a parent to sign for them and wait cause if you go through a growth spurt it can be h@#*.
