my heart says yes u absolutely should but my constructive piercer answer is that u should have an anatomy check done in person to see if it can be performed safely and IF it can be i would probably recommend a floating navel for the sake of proper healing

NOT TO MENTION SO MANY OLD HEADS LEARNED HOW TO TATTOO IN PRISON but somehow there's still a superiority complex about ~honoring~ tattoo culture and being a shop bitch for xyz years

we're forgetting that tattooing has had eras of being illegal to practice and yall are worried about people getting into the trade in non traditional ways or not adhering to the laws that are built not for safety but to collect taxes and licensing dues 🙄

yes rules and regulations are important but i think a lot of the ppl obsessed with conforming are cops lol
