OP just make sure she takes it out - if it was really done at home it won't be done properly and could get infected. On request, expose your belly button and the piercing artist will size up your navel with a felt tip marker.

Our dangle belly button rings feature a wide range of dangling charms and delicate chains interspersed with gems. Bent barbells make ideal belly button jewelry because the shape is a good fit for the area being pierced. Unfortunately, some belly buttons are not suitable for navel piercings but your piercer will be able to advise on whether you are a suitable candidate for a navel piercing. Whether it's a pool, a river, or a hot tub, stay away for the first few months, as the water can harbor bacteria which can easily infect your new piercing.

Jojoba oil and silicone scar therapy gels are the best options for treating hypertrophic scars and atrophic scars. Never take the belly button ring out when dealing with an infection - this only runs the risk of the infection becoming trapped inside the piercing. You can lower the chance of your navel piercing migrating/rejecting by ensuring that your piercer makes the piercing deep enough and uses a heavy gauge needle. Before you proceed with piercing your belly button, you will need to take all precautions necessary to eliminate the chance of getting infected. However if the discharge isn’t clear/white or your skin develops red streak marks, there may be cause for concern.
