I got diagnosed with mrsa infection is it alright to pierce my belly button once it is gone?

Yes: Why would you pierce your belly button? You should prep the area with antiseptics and use sterile equipment if you do it.

MRSA: It is possible to get repeat infections with mrsa. If you are cured of an infection, you do not become immune to future infections.
