Wow, this thread makes me feel older since I got mine done back in '95-before all the high schoolers were doing it and people thought that it was really crazy. I took it out in 99, just because I got tired of it and though the scar is not obvious, it's there. I have some advice for you...
-if you do decide to get it done, make sure you go somewhere really reputable because no matter where you go you run the risk of getting an infection.
-Do keep in mind the fact that if one day you might want to get pregnant the scar may end up looking all nasty.
-This is going to sound totally mean and it is to be honest, but it's reality...ask any guy. Please, please, please have a relatively flat stomach and not be over the age of 30 when you get it done. I have seen far too many women/girls (both friends and not) who have not so great tummies getting it done and then it looks like crap because they just don't have the body type. I saw a woman who was easily pushing 40 at a breakfast restaurant the other day with one and she had a gut with one and I just thought, "Ewww." I have students who have it done, and it just looks awful and I wish their parents would have told them "Hell no!"
Anyhow enough of my rambling. I know the above sounds b*tchy, but honesty can hurt some times.
