try deeper. err.. i mean more skin. that should really help. use curve bb around 12mm.

It may or may not work.  Some people do well when pierced behind scar tissue, others will reject again and again regardless of placement.  There's absolutely no way to tell how your body will accept a deeper Navel piercing.  There are a few things that you can do to help your body accept the piercing.  Stick to titanium jewelry.  Not only is it the most hypoallergenic material, but it is also very lightweight.  Make sure your jewelry is form-fitting at all times.  Constant catching on clothing and such perpetuates migration and rejection.  Normally I don't recommend changing jewelry until a piercing is well healed, but just like the lip and tongue, ill-fitting jewelry has the potential to cause more problems in the long run than a quick downsizing would.  Do not wear anything that hangs or dangles, this type of jewelry can cause migration due to the weight of the charms.  Be extremely diligent about your aftercare.  Stick to sea salt soaks 3 times a day for the first few months and twice a day after that.  Do not use any kind of chemical products, including soaps.  I have noticed more migration after a person has experienced some form of irritation or infection.  Those who did not experience irritation or infection at some point have not migrated significant amounts (I'm speaking generally, of course there's always those few that just can't easily accept Navel piercings).  And most important, keep your fingers off.  Not only do your nasty, dirty, icky fingers put you at risk for infection, touching and playing with the jewelry pulls on the piercing and makes it more likely to migrate/reject. 

usually people post topics for feedback... maybe if you dont want any make a journal next time?

Well maybe someone else didn't know.  And you're welcome that I took the time to offer up my advice and possible solutions to your problem.  Since you have rejected many times already, it seems like maybe you do actually need some advice on how to keep your piercings.
