Performer daughter wants a belly ring

Our 13-year-old wants to get her belly button pierced. I really wouldn't have a problem with it except for the inconvenience it might cause her while performing. I imagine the dancing, wardrobe changes, etc. would result in a lot of irritation/possible infection.

DD's idol is Sierra Boggess, and Sierra wears a belly button ring on Broadway.

I will happily field any personal stories and anecdotal comments about what it's like to be an actor with a pierced belly.

Thank you!

I never knew belly button rings weren’t removable.

Instead of a ring, suggest she get a stud. It looks cuter (which is after all, the whole pount) and pressed flat against her tummy won't catch on anything. Lots of athletes have them and as far as I know, doesn't cause any problems due to physical movement.

Tape. If u want to get fancy u can use silicone tape to cover but it is 'spensive.
