I would recommend getting the hernia repaired (herniorrhaphy) prior to umbilical piercing. it would othervise be possible to damage the hernai dack,
It is not a good idea to pierce your belly button if you have an umbilical hernia. You don't say.... How long ago was the tummy tuck? Was the hernia there before the surgery? Has a doctor diagnosed the hernia? Aside from the hernia concern, if there is a scar around your navel a piercing is less likely to be successful because the scar tissue is not as strong as unscarred tissue. I have seen the metal erode outward through the skin and have to be removed. A body piercer told me he doesn't recommend navel piercing after an abdominoplasty for this reason, but I have seen it work, too.
