HiGuys,
I know where in the world have you been the last month? Well I've been very busy with work, so I fnally decided to come back. Well anyway I have my belly button pierced a few months ago, and I love it. I'm thinking about getting a tattoo of a butterfly.
Shaybo
I really was hoping to get my belly button pierced too and have a nice little diamond there. But then I had an emergency operation for appendicitis and they did it laproscopically. I only got four holes instead of a big scar. But one of the places they put the camera was just above my belly button. Now the scar has ruined where it would have gone.
Hi MissKitty- I'm sorry about the scar, but think of it this way at least your appendics didn't burst.Originally Posted by misskitty

Well guys,
Friday my bellybutton ring came out. I was getting readdy for work and all of a sudden I looked down and on the floor was my belly button ring. Idon't know how it happened I'm just so pissed I payed $80.00 to have it put in and four months later I have a big red spot and an indentation where my belly button ring used to be.
80-year-old gets a last-wishes tattoo — but will guideline be followed?
DECORAH, Iowa - Mary Wohlford has made it perfectly clear what her final wishes are: It's written in ink — on her skin. Wohlford, 80, had the words "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" tattooed on her chest in February.
Wohlford hopes she's made her wishes perfectly clear should she become incapacitated. She also has a living will hanging on the side of her refrigerator.
"People might think I'm crazy, but that's OK," she said. "Sometimes the nuttiest ideas are the most advanced."
But Wohlford's decision to have her final wishes imprinted on her chest have raised some legal issues.
Some medical and legal experts doubt that Wohlford's tattoo would be binding in the emergency room or in court. But they give her credit for originality.
"I'll be darned," said Bob Cowie, a Decorah lawyer and chairman of the Iowa Bar Association's probate and trust law section.
"There are easier ways to do it than that," said Cowie, who suggested people sign a living will or authorize a medical power of attorney.
Wohlford said she knows some people might find the tattoo amusing. But she said her motive is serious.
"This is a modern day and age," she said. "You have to advance with the times. We never even had a living will 20 years ago. Now I think we've got to go to the next step."
So, will Wohlford's tattoo stop an Iowa doctor from resuscitating her? No, said Dr. Mark Purtle, who works at Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.
Purtle said Iowa law defines when caregivers are permitted to end life-sustaining measures. A tattoo isn't enough, he said.
He recommended a living will or an advanced directive, with a copy placed in the patient's medical charge. He also said people should discuss their wishes with family members.
