Okay, thank you so much Maressa :)
I'll try looking again for a piercer but I don think there is any around me.

Any drugstore! I even used to buy giant bottles of contact cleaner since they were 100% saline lol just look for something that is 100% saline with no other ingredients at all. And since saline is literally just salt water, you can easily make it yourself! Here's a picture of the aftercare brochure from my piercer on how to make saline.

I know you don't want to hear this, but belly button piercings are extremely difficult and should be done by a professional. I definitely advise against doing it yourself.

Now that that's out of the way (since I'm sure I didn't change your mind lol) make sure you have all the necessary supplies (a clamp, a brand new STERILIZED 16 guage needle, a 16 guage titanium belly ring that is extra big so there's room for swelling, a pair of gloves, and some saline. I can't give you any advice on doing the actual piercing (since I've always gone to a professional) but just be careful during it and be sure to clean it with nothing but saline afterwards. Good luck! Hope I was some help

Lauren, I pierce myself. I don't have any piercers by my so I've given myself all of my piercings. Just not a belly button piercing. So I need to know the care.
