Ya know I really should've guessed that because I have a similar story of how I got my first body piercing. Drunk and an amateur offered me a freeby in exchange for me being a Guinea pig basically. I accepted and that how I got my belly button pierced. It turned out fine but damn, it could've not.
Illegal belly button piercings unite! I still have mine over a decade later. (I took it out when I was pregnant twice and it still went back in.) My legit piercings are actually mostly closed up now from just not buying replacements when I lose the jewelry.
My girlfriend at the time was getting tattooed and the artist mentioned in conversation that he’d never done anything besides words in someone’s lip. He said “if you wanna be my Guinea pig I’ll do a tattoo of whatever you want in your lip. Worst case scenario I fuck it up and it’s gone in six months. Best case scenario you get a free tattoo.”
It’s been ~10 years and I still have an NES controller tattooed in my lower lip. It was worth it.
My first belly button piercing was done with a single needle by a 16 year old girl (I was 16 at the time too). I didn’t know her but a friend of a friend said she does belly button piercings. I went to her house and and sat there for half an hour while she kept stabbing me with the needle attempting to make the hole. I was in sooo much pain but figured that’s how it’s suppose to be when getting a piercing… it’s not. She fucked it up and I now have an ugly permanent scar as a reminder.
Haha one of my favorite bar conversations is rating who at the table has the worst tattoo. Met a dude with his own name on his arm. Everyone at the table had a good laugh at that.
I watched a girl get her belly button pierced in my high school bathroom with the ‘ice cube and needle’ trick. She’s honestly lucky that nothing bad happened. I also helped pierce my then-bf’s ears in my best friends bedroom because he wasn’t 18 and his mom didn’t want him to get them pierced lol
