    It doesn't hurt very much when the person is first piercing your belly at least not for me...it will be sore afterwards for a few days though. When I got mine I remember it was so sore I couldn't run without feeling it lol. it wasn't unbearable though obviously I survived.

    Make sure you clean it, go to walmart or target and buy some bactine to spray on your piercing every day. I think its the easiest way to avoid infection enstead of those salt water soak things...never used those myself..bactine worked for me. I would wash my hands spray the bactine all around and move the bar up and down.

    The cost depend where you go. I live in Houston and there are places that do it for $5 and some that do it for $30.

    It doesn't really look awkward if you don't wear bling...everyone has there own personal style and to my body jewelry is another form of personal expression. Right now I'm wearing a turquiose bioplast ring and i think its super cute!

    I just got mine done 3 months ago. It didnt hurt too bad, just the clamps hurt the most, and the needle felt like a burning sensation to me at least, which was interesting.

    It was like a 3 - 10 on the pain scale.

    BUT think it through, and search all the possibilities, im having problems with mine, i hit it really hard and i might have to take it out, its kind of infected i think. So just make sure you REALLY want it because everyone is different. You have to have jewlery in at all times, so im not quite sure what you mean by bling. If you mean dangly ones, no it will look fine. I like mine with just the plain balls, i think they're cuuute

    I got my belly button pierced about two weeks ago at a tattoo parlor. They are usually around $50 to get done and it doesnt hurt at all the only thing you feel is the clamp! Just make sure they use 316L or better and you need to clean it around 3-8 times a day with antibacterial soap. They may sell the soap where you get it done .
