    Moving that much and sweating will likely cause the piercing to fall out.

    If I use nail glue for my fake piercing, will it stay on in the pool?

    It might, but nail glue might rip your skin when it's time to remove the fake piercing. If you are going to be moving around a lot, try using eyelash glue instead.

    You could, but you would have to hold it for a long time while the glue dries. Instead, try a quick-drying glue like nail glue.

    Community Answer
    Yes, as long as you can make it stick and look real.

    It all comes down to the brand of nail glue you purchase. Don't go cheap.

    HeyHalo
    Community Answer
    It may or may not, depending on the strength of your chosen glue. (Remember to only use body-safe glues like nail or lash glue!) If you intend to use it for a performance, try rehearsing with the fake piercing.

    Anything except super/gorilla glue, prick stick (won't stay on) or ova.
  • Question
    Can I use an Elmer's glue stick?
    CrazyCatLady
    Community Answer
    No. Elmer’s glue will cause irritation and won’t stick well. Try using body glue or spirit gum, but nothing from a craft store.
  • Question
    How do I keep a fake belly button piercing on when I'm in the water?

  • Question
    How can I attach it to my navel?
    Fabcandy
    Community Answer
    I use coconut oil to attach it to the navel, it works great! Just don't touch it with your hands, as hands are too warm and will melt it. Use a cotton bud instead.
  • Question
    Can I use Elmer's glue sticks?
    Community Answer
    You could try, but it wouldn't stick together well and will easily fall apart. It won't last long if you use Elmer's.
  • Question
    Can I use regular glue?
    Community Answer
    I tried and it did not work, so I would try another approach. Eyelash glue works really well.
  • Question
    If I use Elmer's glue, will it stay on in the pool?
    Community Answer
    No. If you're going to be swimming a lot, try nail glue. The more expensive the nail glue, the better its quality.
  • Question
    Can I use tacky glue for a fake belly button piercing?
    Community Answer
    I wouldn't recommend it. Tacky glue has been known to irritate and pull off skin.
  • Question
    Why is nail polish unhealthy to use on my belly button piercing? How long will it stay on?
    Community Answer
    Nail polish isn't meant to be applied to the skin. How long the piercing will stay on depends on how much physical activity you do and how strong the eyelash glue you use is.
  • Question
    What kind of eyelash glue do I need to use? Will it stay on during school?
    Community Answer
    You can use any type of eyelash glue. It should last during school, but you may need to add more after gym.
  • Question
    Is it waterproof? Can I go in the water if I have it?
    Community Answer
    Water will most likely cause it to fall or slide off, depending on the glue. If you are using eyelash glue, definitely don’t go in the water.
  • Question
    Can I use craft glue for the glue?
    Community Answer
    You could use Elmer's glue or a generic version. Keep in mind, however, that craft glue is not made for skin and could cause irritation. Make sure the glue is non-toxic and safe to use on skin. Craft glue is also less likely to stick the way eyelash glue or makeup glue would.
