Dear Diva,

I have heard that a belly button piercing can add a little sizzle to a relationship and that such piercings are relatively painless.  Is this true, and what kind of advice can you offer for someone nervous about doing it?

Dear Tiffany,

My darling I am so glad to hear that you are considering a belly button piercing – you won’t regret it.  What they say is true, the piercing does add some fire to a relationship.  Most normal guys cannot help but to be turned on by belly jewelry.  Your partner will come to appreciate the hot look it gives you, especially when combined with some sexy lingerie.  Ooh-la-la!  There are some things you need to be aware of, my Diva-to-be.

First of all, only have the piercing done by a reputable firm.  I used a company from Beverly Hills (naturally darlings), and I urge you to shop around and find a firm you can trust.  Secondly, although it does not hurt, you should avoid watching someone else get pierced just before getting your piercing as it may psych you out.  Care of the piercing is very important to avoid infection.  I used liquid wound wash from the pharmacy to keep the piercing clean and avoided pools and hot tubs during the healing process, which took about six weeks.

You also must take care not to snag the belly jewelry on clothing, bedding, your partner, etc.  While getting pierced is painless, having your belly jewelry ripped out unexpectedly is not.  Be sure to consult a physician if you see any indication of infection.  I think if you take reasonable precautions you will be very pleased with your piercing and it will provide years of enjoyment.  Best of all, you will soon have another reason to shop for jewelry!
