White Gold Belly Ring, What I Did Last Night - Navel Pierced!! ?
Q: Speaking strictly as a Mom, I think there should be a law that a person should have to pass a sobriety test before getting pierced or tattooed! Just out of curiosity, when you get jewelry for your new opening, does it have to be specifically navel jewelry or does a person generally wear a plain earring for this?
A: LOL!!! from what i do understand a "respectable" tattoo artist will not do a tattoo on someone who is drunk. from what i understand they are concerned about the blood flow, also with piercings. i had one drink (cape cod) before going in to calm my nerves. but it wasn't really needed. there was a guy there getting his tongue pierced. he was a BIG guy and in my opinion a bit trashed. he got very white and almost passed out after they did his tongue. i got a belly ring, which from what i understand comes in several gauges. my friend shannon's belly ring is a larger gauge than mine. mine is pretty petite compared to others that i have seen. we had asked for the same one she had and he accidently put in a silver one, so he took it out and switched it with one that matched hers, just smaller. it has a ball that holds it together. shannon is currently looking for a diamond charm that she can hang from hers. I got my bellybutton pierced at Taboo Tattoos in Deep Ellum January 99. It was right after my parents had gotten separated so my mother, my sister and I all got it done as a sort of 'bonding' experience! My mom has a gold belly ring with a little diamond on it that she had custom made (she works at a jewelry store in Richardson). Anyway, enjoy
