Question
Can you get your belly pierced if you have an outy belly button
Answer
|
You can have it pierced, but at age 12 your body is not done growing and you may not like the final outcome as your body grows. You can ask to see pictures (of outies) at the studio that will do the piercing. You need to stay out of public water for two weeks and be very careful about infection -- follow instructions and keep the area clean.
