Can I Go For Swimming After Having Navel Piercing?
I am considering getting my navel pierced in a few months, once I am done a life guarding course. If I did it, though, I would have to do it 10 days before going on a vacation, which would involve swimming. Is this a bad idea? If I take good care of it, would it be alright?
