Belly Button Ring

i want to get my belly button pierced ( i kinda think i should wait until next summer but i really want it!) and the place i get my piercings has it cheaper to get a ring then a barbell. i was wondering if its better to get a ring? i would prefer a barbell but im kinda cheap Tongue also is it harder to work with right away with a ring?

Rings tend to get caught on clothing... A friend of a friend had a bit of a horror story when it got caught on her boyfriend's jeans and he pulled away, which pulled the ring through her skin :s
Also, the rings turn, which introduces infection into your piercing.
Remember they can get infected really easily so you need to look after it, and don't be a cheapskate or you could get a really bad scar.
I would suggest getting it done a few months before summer because you need it to heal fully before you can go swimming or expose it to sunlight or change the jewellery. Please get a barbell!

I agree get a barbell. Belly button rings are so annoying. I've had mine pierced for 4 months and I still have to baby it. I've also had it reject twice before because I neglected to take care of it the way I was supposed to. And scar tissue hurts to repierce.
