hi there i had wanted my belly button pierced for ages but all my mum said was no. i kept going on and on until finally she rang me up from work and told i could get it done i was sooo excited i went to the piercing studio, tattoo crazy in cambridge uk and it was really clean i bright i was so nervous i felt sick. I had convinced myself that it would hurt. I chose the bar i wanted (gold with a pink crystel) i had to fill out a form then the lady lead me through the back and she told me to lift up my top anshe made to marks and asked me if it was straight i then lay down in the chair and held my dads hand. she put on the clamps which felt like a hard pinch then she put through the needle and the bar it was so quick it took less that 30 seconds!she then put a plaster over it and i was good to go! afterwards it stung a bit and i felt a little light headed but that was it i love it and i have had it done for five weeks now i had it done 29th of july 2002 any one who wants it done just do it! its definately worth it in the end! if you have any questions please e-mail me on angel489262@aol.com happy piercings!
