I used to believe that if you pierced your belly button it would fall off and the piercers would glue a fake one on. (Thats how you got an outie). When I got mine pierced I asked if they could somehow keep mine as an innie and they laughed at me. I was soooo embarassed as my friend who has an outie had hers pierced and I thought that was how it happened!
