Ive had a navel piercing since april and have taken really good care of it. I still get crusties though but not the bad kind..its not infected or anything. Should i wait til i dont get them anymore or is it ok to change? It never hurts or anything either.

Navel piercings take a long, long time to heal. I think around a year. You should wait at least that long before changing jewelry or you risk setting your healing back by months.

I agree with what Primal said.

It's called STRETCHING your piercings, not gauging them.

Navels take 12+ months to heal. If there are crusties then it is not healed. Even once they stop, wait AT LEAST a month before changing it and make sure to only wear high quality implant grade jewelry...not something from a mall kiosk or accessory shop.

Never miss someone from your past - there is a reason they did not make it to your future.
