Just wanted to add my experiance from last night ...

After talking my bellystud out about 5 years back ... I could manage a slim hoop through last night Long story short .. since my navel started to pop out, I've noticed that it sorta looked like there was a little black head INSIDE the piercing, so I tried getting it out by just squeezing, but later resorted to trying to push through one of my hoops ... low and behold it goes through, gunk comes out ... EWWWWW exactly like a little black head

I have to add that the piercing seems shallower than what I can remember, the skin seems sooooooo tender and frail .. could also be because of the bump underneath

PS. I do shower ... every night, sometimes twice a day ... and I do clean out my navel, just so ya all don't think I'm some smelly roadside critter
