Navel gazing

[kjpepper]

Sooo, like most women brainwashed by media in terms of what chicks should look like, I've had a rocky relationship with my tummy. Right before I left for college, I resolved that if I got my belly into a shape where I actually liked it, I'd commemorate the occasion with a belly button piercing. Of course, then, this translated into my fluffy little head as "ABS OF HAND CARVED DIAMONDY DOOM."

I've apparently wisened up a bit since, as it occurred to me this morning as I tooled around in hipster Superman undies and pants that are only hip huggers by virtue of being a size or so too big, that I've long made peace with my tummy. Hell, these days I like its round girly softness. So this morning my head was like "Hey! remember that piercing you were gonna get?"

So what do y'all's think?

For some reason it wouldn't let me vote, but ew! Not only does it sound painful, but I hear those things get infected at the drop of a hat -_-;

ah, that explains the anonymous comment.

It's not so much that they get infected like fuck, it's that most people don't have the patience to take care of them while they're healing (considering it's mostly teenagers that get them, no wonder.) IIRC, they take a full year to heal properly.

Mine is pierced. It didn't hurt.

Inch-thick, foot-long steel rod. Straight through the skull. Be totally awesome.
