I got my navel piercing done 4 weeks ago and I love it. Just curious if any other girls are thinking of getting it pierced or have gotten their navel pierced. =D

Lizzy it really is just a quick pain. If you can use the epilator, than you can get this done. I had mine done when I was a teenager but don't have it anymore. I had to take it out because of work. I was stocking shelves at the time and when you keep hitting it with boxes, it tends to hurt after a while. I think about doing it again but am waiting until I come out full time so that I can show it off.

Love,

Sarah F

I am 57 and though i have gotten many piercings over the years which i still have, daith, tragus, lobe, helix, 1" stretched lobe etc not many my age have a navel piercing. Not something i want to try to heal since i am so active and have cats that would try to play with it.

How much did/does it hurt?I wanna but I am grandmaw aged! Auggghhh

Lizzy

Sarah is right, it doesn't hurt that much. It's over and done with really quickly.

I had one but since it kept rubbing on my jeans it wouldn't heal so I just took it out. Still have the (slight) scar from it.

Navel piercings are the most hardest to heal. Gotta becafeful not to get it caught on clothes and stuff.

It's pretty high maintenance too, but it does look nice. =D

as over 40% get infected and turn nasty.. personally though I think they are cute I wouldn't go near one.

did my ears myself at home.. simple..

That percentage seems abnormally high - might want to look into it.

Navel piercing do require two salt water/soap cleanings a day for the first 4-6 weeks. It does have a potential to get infected if you keep on touching it (like any piercings but all so more tempting since right in front of you). It is also a special piercing so you should be getting it done at a sanitized tattoo/piercing shop with an experienced piercer. In other words, it's a relatively difficult piercing that is not for everyone depending on the physical anatomy and there is a higher chance of it going wrong than let's say ear piercings. PLUS it takes 3-12 months to heal.

Bottom line... If you maintain it properly and keep it properly cleaned, should be okay.

      Hi, @AmandaJoy.  Welcome to Trans Pulse.  Be sure to check out the various forums and join in any threads that interest you.  We'd love to read all about you in the Introductions forum.   -----   I started programming in Dartmouth Basic in high school back in the early 1970s.  I did my degree in Computer Science.  After a brief stint in the "government flying club" (RCAF), I worked as a programmer-analyst and systems analyst for about 25 years.    I am retired now, but I still enjoy programming.  I write a lot of the code for my astrophotography observatory.

      WOW HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED!!! Welp, I'm updating now, and it's been a lot of changes.  1. My mom is starting to come around a little (I think). She does refer to me more as her child now, and even offered to help me cut my hair so I think we're making a little progress. I'm still planning on going on T later and I'm gonna start saving up to buy trans tape (I can't wear binders because I have GERD), so hopefully the progress stays. My dad, sibling, friends, and my paternal grandparents have all been super supportive and I'm really lucky for that. My sibling also goes out of their way to introduce me as their brother and it makes me so happy :D 2. I've been socializing a lot more! Mostly on Discord, but I've made some new friends and I'm really happy about that!  3. I'm on birth control! I still need to go to the gyno but my GP got me on the depo shot and it's been working for me so far! My dysphoria has gone through a lot of ups and downs, especially around periods, but that source is pretty much gone now and I feel way better. I do have more dysphoria centered around my chest now but that's pretty easily fixed with baggy shirts most of the time.  4. I know 100% now that I'm hoping for a uterine ablation (cauterizing the uterine tissue so it doesn't grow) at some point in the future and it's likely something I'll have to save up for but from my research it's a lot less invasive and safer than a hysterectomy so I definitely recommend it if people are able to access it. I also know that after that, I want to save up for a reduction to combat the chest dysphoria, and I still like having it sometimes so I'll keep a bit of it (I'm shooting for an A cup, I'm a C cup currently).  5. I've been writing more and I've even got some ideas for art projects! I also got an Archive of Our Own account where I post my finished writing, and I'm starting a book project at my mom's urging (she said she wanted that as her Christmas present so I'm gonna try, might not get it done this year though). I haven't gotten to write much lately but I'm hoping to change that this month.  And finally, 6. I'm gonna be a college junior and I have a career path to pursue! I'm gonna be an archivist, hopefully working for a museum (not too specific on where, I just like museums).  So yeah, a lot of stuff has happened and it's been pretty good!

      Around here, a culturally-appropriate gender-neutral form of address is either "dear" or "hun".  It tends to be mostly women who use those, though I did have a man address me as "dear" in a store today.    It could be startling for a come-ffrom-away to hear themselves being addressed that way, but, locally, it is considered a friendly, not particularly creepy, gender-neutral way to address someone.

      Welcome, Amanda!! You'll find many of us here who found ourselves late in life - it was at 68 for me. Each of us is unique but we also have similarities and can help each other   I understand the urge to move quickly, but remember that your wife also has to adjust as you transition. That doesn't mean you have to move slowly, just give both of you time to process the changes and the impacts.   Many of us have also benefitted greatly from working with a gender therapist. For me, it was literally life-saving. Just a thought you might want to consider. Mine is done completely on-line.   Again, welcome. Jump in where you feel comfortable.
