Anybody have this done? How bad does it hurt and is it worth it?

I dont have one, but most of my friends do. Some say they regret every agonizing minute of it. And others say they didn't feel a thing. I think it just depends on your threshold for pain =) I say go for it, how bad could it be

It doesn't hurt that bad, it depends on the person. Also, get it because you want to, not because you see it as a "fad". Plus, keep in mind that navel piercings can take a year or more to heal. They also can migrate out the skin (they're one of the hardest piercings to heal).

Also summer is coming around, so if you want one, I would advice you to wait, or NOT go swimming. The best time to get a navel piercing is after the summer season and such.

Got mine naval done almost 5 years ago, didn't hurt me at all. Just a small pinch, only a few seconds. When I say it doesn't hurt, trust me...it doesn't. I HATE HATE HATE needles, but I'm not kidding...my freaking ears felt worse than my naval. It's no biggie. Just make sure if you get it done that you take good care of it. Every once in a great while, mine still gets irritated and a little icky.

I got my navel pierced in July at a professional piercing place, it's pierced with a ring and it healed fine. My problem is I can't get the ring out. I turn the ball so much but it never unscrews or it doesn't look like it is. Am I turning it the wrong way or something? Thanks.
