Egads!
It would never heal on me then and I'd likely die of septicemia. I spend way too much time in the ocean and in warm, humid climates. Heck, paper cuts get infected and take six months to heal on this island.
I'm curious though, for those who've pierced delicate body parts, what was the driving motivation behind this decision?
My belly button peircing was very symbolic.
I had been wanting it done for 5 years, but was too afraid to do it. Then I went through a nervous break down. After that, I had to rebuild, starting with getting a job. As soon as I was comfortable working again, my husband left me. Then came the seperation, having to learn to support myself, working full time, starting my own company, and a few other things that I was afraid to do that I sucked up and just did. My belly button was the last one. If I could do that, if I could do all that I had, this would be easy, and I could do anything.
It's sort of a reminder that I'm stronger than I think I am sometimes.
