How bad does it hurt to get your belly button pierced?

Not bad at all. I got my belly pierced last night, actually and prior to getting it done I was scared that it would be extremely painful. But the lady did it in a matter of less than 2 mins and I barely felt anything. I'm have a small stomached ad I hear it varies in body types and how big the needle being used is. But all I really felt was a quick pinch.
