Yes, you can get your belly button pierced even if you have an outie, but the process might be a little different. Here’s what to consider:
Options for Outie Bellybuttons:
- Surface Piercing: Instead of piercing the belly button itself, the skin above or below the navel is pierced. This is more common for outies.
- Custom Placement: Some piercers may find a spot where the tissue allows for safe and comfortable piercing.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- Healing Risks: Outies can be more sensitive since they are formed from the scar tissue of the umbilical cord. Healing may take longer or be more prone to irritation.
- Choose an Experienced Piercer: Look for a piercer who has experience with outie navels to ensure the best results and minimize complications.
- Infection Risk: Outies are closer to internal structures, so hygiene and aftercare are even more critical.
