good 🙂 glad I could help 🙂 lol

I personally like it in color. I think that getting it in just black and grey/grey wash would tone it down a bit. I guess it just depends on what you are going for.

I think your idea behind it is pretty cool, its def. not your average tree of life. Where would you be getting it?

here are some that I found at deviantart.com

and that’s just a few. Make sure that if you do decide to use one that you get persmission from the artist.

I’ve done a lot of research on navels and you shouldn’t change it until it’s healed.
I’ve read that some places suggestion 4-16 weeks, other suggest at least 2 months.
Total healing time can take up to a year, but some people change it before then.
As far as gauges, it should be a 14 as that what most belly buttons are pierced with.

hey jake.
I’m new here too 🙂
