You would need to go to a body peircing place. Do not get in Clair’s ever. It needs to be done with a needle not a peircing gun

I guess you don’t need to go to mikvah because can’t take it out in 2 weeks time.

Can’t be pregnant or nursing.

So many on google with 100s of reviews!!! Just pick one

Absolutely not!!!!
Can get infected and cause harm to your baby cuz infection will go to blood stream

They make you sign you’re not pregnant or nursing. Banging head

I don't think you can get it done when pregnant or nursing.
If a place let's you do that, I would consider them an unsafe/sketchy place.

Well that's annoying. How would I time this when I'm not pregnant or nursing and getting monthly periods? :/

You can get a clip on piercing. FYI if you are pregnant u need to get a special pregnancy ring so it can grow with your bump, otherwise it can get kind of "stuck" and risk infection

you should ask a rav whether or not it's considered a chatziza: I used to have a different body piercing and as long as I never removed it and I wanted it there, I was told I can toivel with it. worth asking your rav.

if you want someplace you know is sanitary, I would look at APP-certified places: https://safepiercing.org/
All of those places should have private rooms

obviously this is all after you're done being pregnant/nursing. it's just an unnecessary infection risk and no reputable piercer will do it.

Go to a tattoo parlor. It took mine awhile to heal, not sure how that will work with mikva. I had it done in high school, don't have it since seminary when I got more frum. It took mine a year to heal.
I haven't had it in for almost 10 years, but I still have a hole. Also, of course you can not get it when you're pregnant. Most women have to take out their rings out when they are pregnant.

Umm what? You know about the mirrors that the woman donated to the mishkan, right? (BTW in those times women wore jewelry a little bit lower than the belly button... Look into the jewelry that the men stole from their wives for chet haegel.)
My guess is she is doing it for her and dh to enjoy. What can be more beautiful than that?

ETA - I think this is what the OP of the thread
" why is everyone so mean these days"( or something like that) had in mind. she asked a question, and is only looking for responses, not someone to tell her if its assur or not. Either you have a suggestion or don't respond.
Im understanding now her frustration that this site turned to bashing people instead of advice.
Im not bashing you, and yes, everyone is entitled to thier opinion, just trying to bring awareness of how this site has changed over the years.

Not to detail this thread, but yes! Exactly what OP likely meant on the other thread.

Yeah there’s no real way of getting a Peircing when our age of having kids and getting periods without BC to stop our period for a time being.

My rav said my helix piercing can stay in for mikvah (I need it in for 6-8 months)

AYLOR about the mikvah, if it’s medically dangerous to remove (infection) then it can be okay

Do not get it done whil pregnant. Personally I really want one but would never do it until after I’m done having kids. And even then, I don’t know. The risk of infection is high and the people I know who have get infections all the time and regret doing it

Also, in pregnancy with the swelling of your belly, the tightness can pose a problem to the skin around your umbilicus
