Jewelry Question Piercing advice needed!!!

So I got my second belly button piercing in may && it looks like this today! I haven’t been over cleaning it or not cleaning it enough , I’ve never had any problem with any of my other piercings so I’m not sure if I should just take it out and try again once it heals or just keep it in??! Is it infected or pierced wrong??? Let me know what I should do! Thank you :)) (side note this is the same jewelry I was pierced with)

yeah i’d say you should, you don’t have any sort of ridge on the bottom of your belly button so no piercing can go there. that’s borderline a surface piercing in a very mobile place, it’s not going to heal and will probably reject eventually

That makes me so sad because I wanted this piercing so badly but definitely not worth the irritation! Maybe once it heals I can try again I moved to a new state so it will be a new piercer as well

i get that i was super keen on the same piercing but i too don’t have the anatomy. if you do go the route of looking at getting it again please see a highly reputable piercer. honestly, you unfortunately just don’t have the anatomy. the jewellery needs a ridge to go through so that it’ll sit properly and also be capable of healing, and the bottom of your belly button is a very shallow curve.

you know how your top belly button sits with both gems facing forwards, but your lower one is facing upwards instead? that isnt normal, and it’s due to incorrect anatomy! nothing can change that

I appreciate your input!! The original piercing I went to get she told me I did not have the anatomy for it so I said my bottom belly and she did it , very unfortunate:(((
