i kinda want to get my belly button pierced (my girlfriends idea) and im allready getting shit from my freinds about it

is male belley button piercing really that uncommon?

 I haven't seen a guy with one. I think it's one of those things that society decided is a "girl thing", hence the shit giving.

I think you should do whatever you want, and actually it would be kinda hot. But if I were you, I don't think I could deal with the crap I'd be getting for it all the time.

im used to getting crap for a lot of things so it wont be that bad ^_^

 Most of the male navel piercings i've seen have been stretched to some extent. I'm not sure why.. maybe they feel like bigger is more manly? 

 I've never seen a a navel piercing in person on a straight guy, but I have seen pictures on the internet. There aren't a ton, but there are some. 

 My theory is, if you want it, get it. after all it will likely be covered by a shirt most of the time anyway, right? It's your body, and if you don't mind dealing with the shit that close-minded people give you, then you should do it.

i love your open mindedness

i probally would srech it a little, 8g mabey idk

Your body, therefore your choice.  I like the way the opposite sex looks with bellybutton piercings, its all based on opinion, but back to the point: if you like it get it done!

 ask bob he has one. but his is stretched so it might be a little different. but i think its all about the jewlery, it will look girly if you wear girly jewlery imo

a picture of it is at the bottom of the page.

If you want it get it, if not then don't. It is considered a girly thing, similar to nostril piercings, but both are totally hot on guys IMO. I think a larger gauge would look better on a guy, maybe ask if you can get it initially pierced at 10g or something? As long as you don't wear dangly barbells or anything with sparkly gems, its not girly at all.

yeah, defentliy no daglies or sparklies

not around here.  i've seen it on a good amount of guys (straight and gay).  i'm just not a big fan of it, at all.  i don't like it on chicks either, though.

 My husband has a standard navel and it looks cute, go for it!!!

My boyfriend Bob's 3/4" navel. I love it. I couldn't imagine him without it.

Don't let gender issues decide what modifications you decide to get. If you want a navel piercing, do it. 

 I'm a boy and I currently have five navel piercings, don't worry about what people think about it. It's just like any other piercing you can get, there shouldn't be anything weird about it.

EDIT: My image failed and I don't know how to fix it.
