I have my ears pierced twice and my belly button once. I will tell you that the belly button hurt less than the ears!!
The most important thing is to keep the piercing clean and follow the piercer's after-care instructions. That means, don't use ointments or creams, and soak faithfully with the sea salts on the piercing. Wash it and the jewelry with anti-bacterial soap daily. The piercer will tell you how to soak the piercing, but to make it simple, you disolve the sea salts in a plastic cup of warm water, bend down, hold the cup over the belly button to get an air tight seal then straighten up holding the cup against your belly.
I had absolutely no problems with mine. I will say though that when you decide to change jewelry, pick up some ky-jelly or similar and use it to lubricate the new jewelry when you put it in.
But honnest, the belly button piercing was a snap, my recommendation is a ring and not a curved barbell though, as you are less likely to catch your clothing on the closed ring than the bar bell and it will make healing much easier and faster!!
Hope that helps!!

Wow really? I have thought about having my belly button pierced if I can lose enough weight that it will actually look nice.
I hadn't thought about lubricating jewelry to put it in. I'm in the process of stretching my ears currently and maybe I'll try that when I put the next size up in next month.

I only have 2 piercings, one in each ear. I must admit the girl piercing my ears scared me a bit, LOL. She had tons of piercings, and it was really funny that she was wearing gloves and a surgical mask and had tons of piercings. Other than the piercings all over the people, it looked like a medical establishment where I got pierced.
I want to get another piercing, but I'm having a hard time deciding what.

I have 3 piercings in each ear (2 cartilage), and a lip piercing. The lip piercing was a completely spontaneous decision; I was 17, at the trashy punk part of the city (that's in no way an insult, actually), and I randomly asked about the price for a lip piercing. $25 seemed like a good deal, so I went with it.

I have four in each ear, my tongue, and a nipple ring.
