How long do you have to wait before you can change your belly button ring?

Well your professional body piercer should have covered this with you during your appointment for your piercing. 3 months to 6 months is a normal average most piercers will quote because the longer the original jewellery stays in the better the piercing will heal and won't be subjected to irritation from changing the jewellery. No piercing is considered healed until it is a full year old, by that point in time it is seasoned and can handle jewellery changes and other outside irritation without becoming inflamed
