Oh, oh! Hehe..I can answer that one
I have a tattoo...4 of 'em to be exact. They're all fairly small and cost me somewhere between 50-120$. Depending on what you want, where you want it, how big it is, etc...determines the price.Yes, they hurt....but it's different for everyone. My last tattoo (that I got a few months ago) hurt the worst. It's on my lower back...left side. However, my sister got one in the same place and it didn't bother her the slightest...So I guess it depends on your tolerance for pain.
I also have 2 on my feet and one on my ankle. The tat on my ankle was my first and from what I remember (I got it almost 4 years ago) it hurt extremely bad...Although, the 2 on my feet didn't hurt at all...
I don't know about belly piercings...I don't have that done...But at the shop that I got my piercing (tongue)...they all ran about the same price...Between 40-70$..depending on jewelry and the piercer...
Now, onto what I chose...
My first tattoo was of a monkey..yeah, a monkey...It's small and oh-so-cute...Yes, there was a reason for it....but it's not one I discuss a lot 
My 2nd tat. was a 4-leaf clover on my right foot. Yes, a reason for this one too...
My 3rd tat. was a design (which has faded horribly) on my left foot. No, no reason for this one.
And my 4th tat. is an open heart w/vines & flowers with a ring in the middle of it...This is probably my favorite one...again for reasons...
Any other questions...Just ask. HTH
