Is it bad to have a bar that's too small on a navel piercing?

The bar I have for my belly button piercing is a bit too small right now and it kind of pinches my skin. Is that bad? Could it seriously damage anything? I am going to change it next week though. I just want to make sure keeping it on for now won’t harm me.

Answer #1

I don’t think it will harm anything, it might just be uncomfortable.. You should get one that fits as soon as you can though.

Answer #2

Could it just look too small because it is swollen because you pierced it yourself and it’s infected? Anyways, if the bar is too small it can cause swelling and pain and get irritated much more easily.

Answer #3

No, it’s not infected nor is it swollen. Self-piercings don’t guarantee a infection, dumbass.

Answer #4

Uhm no, don’t call me a dumbass. Your other question was asking why it was stinging so much so how would I know?

Answer #5

Lol. I’m sorry. Really. I’m short tempered.

Answer #6

Woah, that was a rude remark to make. She is trying to help you. Maybe it is infected. Obviously if you’re asking questions, you are willing to accept help. If you didn’t want anyone’s help, you shouldn’t of asked for it. Nobody is a dumbass here.

Answer #7

Your new piercing needs room to breathe, you should get a longer bar.

Answer #8

yo chill

Answer #9

If you have swelling, your bar could be covered up primarily by your swelling but once your swelling is over with, you will see more of your bar. But if there is no swelling, I would be concerned. I wouldn’t even wait, I’d jump into a car and go to a piercing parlor right now. You do not want to take a chance with piercings. You risk a infection by having done the piercing procedure by yourself. I’m not talking a minor infection, I’m talking about one that could probably land you in the emergency room while you’re draining puss from your naval.
