Probably not: Allergy to nickel, which is found in most of the products used as posts for earnings and other piercings, is very common. Allergy to copper is much less common, so you will probably be OK.

How long do I need to wait after getting a belly button piercing to swim in the ocean? I want to get it done on my 18th birthday this weekend and it's mid summer. I live in a beach town, so I wouldn't be going in a lot of pools or jacuzzis.
