Is it just that my scar faded more or is it that the belly button rings tend to get moved around more since they are in contact with pants and so they scar worse? Just curious.
I don't have a scar on my nose either...
But the jewelry used for navel piercings is a bigger gauge, so the hole is bigger. Also, when they pierce it, they use a hollow needle, which takes some of the skin away, instead of just poking a hole through it like they do for the nose piercing.
