I have an innie, and I can't stand for anyone to touch it! Its my one ticklish spot...guaranteed to make me run screaming from the room. Someone please tell me that I am not the only one with this quirk??? ;)

Your belly button is the scar left over from the umbilical cord which nourished you while in the womb. You HAVE to have one! :confused:

Some babies are born with birth defects such as your bowels on the outside of your body. When this is surgically repaired it leaves no belly button. I know someone who had plastic surgery to create a fake belly button.
One of Mr ZTAMiami's nieces was born premature at 28 weeks. She had a major outie because it never healed properly. She is now 9 years old and had surgery to correct it. She looks great now!

I have a pierced innie, but it's also more like a line. My sister (bilogical) has an outtie. It has gotten less "outtie" as she's gotten older (it used to be really obvious) but now, its just a poufy innie...sort of.

I had an outtie til I was about 11 or so. Now I have a really cute (I think) innie. I had surgery in March and they went in thru my belly button so I have a tiny hole, but really you can't see it anymore.
My grandfather had surgery to repair a hernia and he no longer had a belly button. Sorta surreal

Everyone else has these cute little round belly buttons, and mine is all tall and skinny.

Mine is like that too.

My boyfriend has what looks like an outie inside an innie. I've never seen anything like it. What a freak. :D

I have an innie too, and it's pierced. But the way my button is shaped, the top of it looks like a mouth and it seems to be eating the bottom part of my ring. Weird huh. Can some one tell me exaclty what is a keloid? Everyone talks about them, and I have no idea.

I have an innie and I finally get to have it pierced this summer.

Lady Pi Phi 06-03-2003 02:42 PM

I'm not really sure of the technical definition of a keloid but it's like scar tissue. I have one on my ear and one around my navel. The one on my ear is a small bump and can only be removed by surgery. I was supposed to have an appointment but I missed it, and well it's so small I'm not spending the money to have it removed.

DWAlphaGam 06-03-2003 03:16 PM

A keloid is a "thick scar resulting from excessive growth of fibrous tissue" (http://www.fasthealth.com/dictionary/k/keloid.php).


I have an innie. It's cute and I have gotten several compliments on it. :D

My boyfriend has a cavernous innie...I can fit my forefinger inside of it up to the second knuckle! I stick my finger in his belly button all the time just to piss him off because he hates that his innie is so freakishly deep. :p

Andee4321 06-03-2003 06:30 PM

thanks for the definition

I have an innie too, but reading back on this thread someone said something about having a quarter put on their belly button to make it an innie, yep my mom did this too. Alot of hispanic moms do this to their kids. some old wives tale. everytime i try to tell my mom that her quarter had nothing to do with the way my belly button became an innie she insists that it did. so i counter with "well how come all the non-hispanic kids i know have innies and their moms never did that to them?!"

- she never has an answer to that one...

RioLambdaAlum 01-05-2005 11:54 PM

This is the thread for me lol. I have a long running joke about my bellybutton that takes too long to discuss on this, but just so I can say my two cents I have an..................Innie :cool:

Dionysus 01-06-2005 12:05 AM

Innie :D

When I was a little kid, I used to think that babies came out of the mommy's belly button :)

When I was a little kid, I thought that girls had innies and boys had outies.

PS - Of course this means I'm an innie :)

Innie :)

A story to go with my innie... I was born with a hernia. The doctor taped a silver dollar over my belly button so I wouldn't have an outie. Or, at least that's one of the many stories I've heard every year on my birthday
I've always been told that too. My mom still has the silver dollar they taped over my belly button. the coin is in my cedar chest. Apparently the trick must work b/c I have a perfect innie belly button.

FHwku 01-07-2005 08:34 AM

watermelon vines are growing out of my innie because i didn't listen to my mother, and swallowed the seeds.

mmcat 01-07-2005 08:36 AM

any one a belly dancer? interesting thought to have to search for a jewel that would fit. can't shake the belly button without it.

Wow... so maybe my family isn't as nutty as I thought they were. lol

What, you think a belly button os something to trifle about?

Adorn it with pagan ideals?

Nay I say to you:eek:

The staff of life is not in the nubial brain, but the decision of the type of Navel protusion or not that an individual that one has!



INNIES, RULE!;)

smiley21 01-08-2005 10:00 AM

i have an innie. actually it is like a mini tunnel:p seems like my belly button goes back so far! i could hide stuff in there. lol. maybe that is a bit much. but it looks deeper than most people's.


i remember i used to crack up laughing at my ex boyfriend, cause i would find lint in his belly button. i didnt know belly button lint was actually real! i would literally laugh so hard, tears would fall down my face.

i am so stupid:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :)

bsp-mich24 01-10-2005 12:54 AM

I have an Innie (it use to be a innie-outie when I was younger).

lifesaver 01-10-2005 06:50 AM

I have an innie. When I was 7 we went on a family trip to Missouri (the Ozarks) where I was prompty bitten by a chigger... in the belly button. Got all infected and hurt liek hell. To this DAY I cant handle being touched there. The threat of is enough to send me over the edge.
