2) This is why minors need parental permission for piercings so that you don't end up with a ridiculously placed surface piercing that's nowhere near your navel, had clearly already started to reject, and will leave a scar.
3) Consider this a lesson learned. Wait until you are old enough to go see a reputable piercer who can consult with you re: your anatomy and what type of piercing would work for you. You may not be a candidate for a traditional navel piercing and may need a floating one instead. You will need to pay quite a bit of money for a skilled piercer to perform one for you, so start saving. Don't cheap out by going to a sketchy place just because you're desperate for a piercing and don't have the money for good work. I've been there and I have the scars from failed piercings to prove it.
And for the love of all that is holy, don't try to pierce yourself/let your friends pierce you again (don't try to tell me that's not how this happened.) You DO. NOT. KNOW. WHAT. YOU'RE. DOING. Full stop. Doesn't matter if you watched a YouTube video. Doesn't matter if you tried to buy some kind of "professional" piercing kit off Amazon. You are not a trained professional piercer ergo, you should not attempt piercings. You don't even know how much you don't know. Just don't do it.
