I'm not really a fan of the navel piercings. I didn't get one when they were big much for the same reasons as you. And now I'm kind of glad I don't have one. They seem...I dunno, cheap, now that the novelty has worn off?

Of course, every time I think about getting something else pierced I remember what a colossal PAIN the whole business is (caring for it, changing it out, not bumping it just so) and I quickly abandon all notions, so perhaps I am not the best person to be dispensing advice ;)
