I kicked her the hell out of the store.
ewwww :confused:

WTF did you kick her out?

I think a naval piercing can look sexy, but almost every girl has one now. Try to think of something that is subtle that nobody or very few people have.

I have a thing about stomach scars/wounds, so I would not personally. I would live in fear of catching it on something or getting infected, even if it is unlikely. As for other women, if you are in good shape there and feel it would be attractive to you as well as to your husband, go for it!

oldest daughter got one and now youngest says everyone has one so not interesting

they draw attention to the belly so you generally have to wear a crop top to get noticed and since they draw attention, you need to keep the belly very flat

if he thinks they're really sexy, have him get his own done!

interesting outcome on the poll so far... i figured sexy would be ahead (didn't we have a similar poll before?) Anyway, everyone has their own tastes, I think something small and basic is very sexy. If you have a giant stud or huge hoop... meh.. (same goes for earings too).

but hey, if your husband likes it, go for it :) unless you are morally opposed to it for some reason...

Of course when I mentioned it to my Dad he freaked and said only whores and sluts get them (a bit harsh!! his words not mine.) Also, I'm 31 so I wonder if I'm too old for one, but I'm thin with a flat stomach.

EDIT: me and dog

Sorry, you can't really see my stomach, it's just the only pic I have on the internet

Do it only if you want one yourself. Don't do it if the only thing pushing you to do it is your husband.

Personally I think it can look sexy, provided you have the right figure for it (flat tummy). Of course, why not get one of those navel clippy thingies instead of a piercing at first. Hubby happy 'cause he likes the way it looks, you don't have to go do anything painful. If you decide you like it and want something more permanent, then go for it.

Definitely not something reserved for 'sluts or whores' though......

I voted no :) Sorry, 31 is too old for one.

It all depends on how the girl looks. But if a girl really wants to do it, and show it off, I'm sure there is a guy out there for any girl. My gf has one, I like it on her.

dad = >>>>>>>>>>> biased....

technically your other daughters or you makes no difference.

I like my chicks with a navel piercing, a back tat, etc.

to me she is different.

we'll need a closer look of the tummy to be able to judge correctly. This will be specifically for scientific purposes, of course. please show a pic of your bare midriff, preferably wearing a halter top or bikini.

Also, a butt shot would be nice while you're at it.

PianoGirl's husband here - I'm really indifferent about the bellyring thing. I think one would probably look pretty good on her, but like others have said, its her choice.

if you want to go for the slutty look get a huge tongue ring and flaunt it all the time

a belly button ring i don't think is slutty at all

So basically, you think she should get her clit pierced. Because thats really the only piercing that meets your critera.

sexy on sub 30, same goes for tattoos if I would ever consider them sexy.

A navel piercing would otherwsie suggest a need to be younger than you are. I would (do ;)) find you more attractive without.
