Belly-Button rings
 

Hope this is the right section for this....

I got my belly button pierced 5 years ago when I was in 10th grade. It was awesome then. I was crazy-skinny and loved little shirts that showed it off.

Now, Im 21, I am less of an attention-whore, I am not crazy-skinny anymore (im between thin and healthy now), and I was thinking of taking out the bellybutton ring. The tiny hole that will be left behind doesnt bother me at all. I think I want a less flashy more natural look when Im at the beach, especially since it doesnt look great on me anymore.

Guy, Girls, Any comments, suggestions, experiences?

I also got mine done a VERY long time ago before people were even really into it. I still have it, but being that I am 30, I have considered taking it out. The thing is, I don't even really know its there and I am the same weight I have always been. I decided I would more then likely leave it in until I get pregnant with my first child. It would definately be uncool to have it then:)

I also got mine pierced when I was 16 and am now 21. I have thought about taking it out. Sometimes I take it out and when I look in the mirror it looks like my belly is missing something so I put it back in. Most of the time I forget I have it pierced. I'll give it a few more years, but it will definitely be out by the time I have kids.

I got mine done right after my sixteenth birthday, and now i'm 20. I consider my belly ring as a nice addition to my navel, and I don't even notice it anymore unless I see it. I would reccommend taking it out. You can always repierce it if you miss it.

Got mine at 18...took it out at 24...I am 26...and considering getting it done again..lol..I think it's a quarter life crisis thing

hmm... I wish I could make decisions and just go with them. Its not like this is a life-or-death matter! It's out for now... but i may put it back in shortly.

thanks for the advice everyone.

i got mine pierced for my 19th birthday and i'm 21 and still have it. i personally love mine, even though i dont really show it off much. back then i had a belly i could theoretically show off, but now its not so flat and stuff. anyway, i just like having it because i think it's a nice decoration, but if you're wanting to go with more of a natural look, by all means take it out cuz like others have said, it's always re-doable if you wanna. :)

I had mine done, but it started to rip out and bleed so I had to take it out. I kind of miss it and have thought about getting it redone.

I pierced my own bellybutton when I was 15... DIY with a sewing needle and a regular 18 g ear-earring. NOT A SMART COOKIE I WAS.

Ultimately it's up to you, you probably look just as good now as you did when you were 16, bellyring or not.

I would say take it out. Piercings aren't all that attractive anyway.
