kinda pissed off about my piercing... what to do about the next one

I am the newbie that posted a while ago about my navel peircing. I am now
reading the FAQ as I am considering another piercing elsewhere. (Midlife
crisis? Who knows.)

I am reading the FAQ on navel piercings and ... all the information here
makes sense. The piercer that I spoke with, another piercer in a nearby town
I asked (to see if the story I got made sense) and the website of the
muckedy muck piercers of america all have 6 months to 18 months as the
healing time for navel piercing. And I guess it irritates me to know that an
experienced person such as lish (I presume you wrote this, apoloies to the
person/people I am offending if I am wrong) I could have a shorter less
risky peircing. The healing is going well enough. Nothign scary has happened
to this point. So I will leave it alone. It does not appear that I have
jewelery that is too small anyway. That sounds nasty.

So, aside from reading the FAQ on nipple piercing again (and again) and
better understanding what the heck is going on, how to I choose a piercer
who has a clue? I almost feel like I could hand the FAQ to someone and say
Do That. But I would really prefer someone I thought was GOOD.

Thanks for your help.

i wrote MY texts, all linked at http://compunction.org . i did NOT
write the rec.arts.bodyart faqs, & i don't agree with sizeable portions of
them.

following my healing text, you will probably heal faster. my first
navel piercing, when i was seventeen, took 13 months to heal. my second &
third navel piercings (in addition to the first, not in replacement of),
self-done at age twenty-one, took only about 5-6 months each because i'd
learned how the body works in that time & followed the instructions i
eventually wrote out for the rest of you. pics of these are also at the
above website.

recommendations. i don't recall whether or not you did this.

Good to know. I will do my reading! I am curious why such misinformation is
so prevelant. But ... I could say that about anything, I guess.

North of Burlington, Vermont. Burlington, St Alban's are *easily* accessible
to me. Montreal is accessible. Southern New Hampshire, around Concord and
Manchester is accessible.
