how there's a lot of piercings goin on on these boards....I have had my ears pierced at least 11 times and I have 8 of them still in.  4 in each ear.  I also used to have my belly button pierced.  I stood and laughed when I got this done.  It didn't hurt at all.  I just stood and talked to the dude and it was over before I knew it.  My tattoo didn't hurt either....I sorta have a high tolerance for pain 

   Go for it Becky!
