Search Results: bottom belly button piercings

So I have both the bottom and the top of my belly button pierced. I've had the top one done for four years, or since I was 14 and the bottom one done since December of last year. I was wearing a normal one in the top and a dangly one in the bottom. You can only really see the top one when I wear cropped shirts. I was in a spa (in a bikini) and got up to get a drink and a girl my age who was in their with me, said "woah, thats kinda trashy" and not thinking she was talking to me, I looked around to see who she was talking to and she was like, "I can't believe someone would get more than one piercing in the belly, its like twice the trashiness" and then she just got up and walked away. So now I'm genuinely curious and want to know what people really think of belly button piercings.

For all you TLDR's skip to the bottom.

I am 20 years old, no tattoos (never will), and only standard ears pierced.
i'm on a mission to get back in shape, I imagine it will be at least a year before I will look how I want, so I guess I would be fit at 21. (hopefully)

If you were to meet me on the street, I would be a little awkward, with wild curly hair and tall (5'7'') with a passion for nature, art, loves native American things and survival style living. and being silly. just laid back, no drama.

I'm pretty sure nobody thinks I'm slutty or a whore or whatever. I've only had 3 boyfriends in my life, and only ever been intimate with my current one right now.

After fantasizing about what a nice belly I could have, I wondered if I would look good if I pierced my navel.

Most of the time I think I would just wear the little ball ones with clear color or light purple. I wouldn't be showing my belly unless I was going swimming. I wouldn't want to show off, it's just a reward to myself for getting the belly I wanted.
and I wouldn't be wearing those slutty dangly ones.
it would be like these (and probably only these)

That was all just so you understand where I'm coming from.

SO...

To guys and girls: Do you think a belly button piercing will look stupid on someone like me? is 21 way too old to get one? why? If I took it out and left a scar, would you find that gross?
I just want to know what the world thinks of these kinds of piercings so I can stop thinking about it. Any thoughts are appreciated.

If you think natural, un-tattooed, un-pierced girls are far more attractive, then tell me why! I want to know!

So I got my belly button pierced over 4 months ago. in about 2 weeks it will have been 5 months ago. Some days it seems fine and other days not. I Haven't changed it yet because I've heard its better to wait until its completely healed. Problem is, my ears can only have sterling silver or gold in them without getting infected (still requires cleaning and changing often). I can not leave them out for more than a week or they start to close up and they have been pierced for 7 years. My friend is the same way and her belly button gets agitated if she wears other metals like nickle free. She has never tried the stainless steel because hers was pierced with sterling silver, but her ears also are like mine.

Main things are, slight redness, some yellow puss out the bottom only and this only happens every few days. Also, the ring keeps turning to the left so the jewel is to the side. Its only been doing that for 3 weeks and only turns left.

So my question really is, has this happened to any of you before? And do you think I should change it to a sterling silver ring? or wait another month and then if its in the same situation, change it then? or wait 2 more months?
