my sister has her belly button pierced. she was pretty bad about cleaning and stuff, but it ended up healing alright. it did start to reject, but it just moved out a bit and then healed. so it sticks out a little, but it looks ok. also, she had another piercing reject, so i think it was just her body. but it is a possibility. every person i know with a belly button ring has said they've had a slight to moderate infection. i think it is because it takes so long to heal and it's not in the safest place. but most people i know have had success long term. i mean this is a piercing a lot of preteens get so it can't be that hard to take care of. i would definately go for the belly button ring, and think about the tattoo. as many people above have mentioned you have to be sure. if you're looking for other suggestions, i have a tongue and lip ring and i absolutely love them. and they really don't hurt, especially lip. although be prepared with tongue to avoid solid foods for a day or so. hope that helped some and i wasn't just rambling for no reason. let us know what you get.
