Don't listen to anyone that says it doesn't hurt OR anyone that says it does hurt. Sounds confusing, I know. Here's the thing, though: everyone is different. People have different pain tolerance levels. Just because it hurt/didn't hurt for someone else doesn't mean it'll be the same for you. I almost passed out when I got mine done, because I had a super thick layer on the bottom of my tongue. Yet, I can sit through 4 to 6-hour tattoo sessions and a chest tattoo with minimal pain (not nearly as much as when I got my tongue done). My best friend said her tongue didn't hurt at all. So, if you want to know, you're going to have to see for yourself.
I know you may not want to hear this, but you should probably wait until you're at least 16 to get pierced. A LOT of places will not pierce anyone under 16, even with a parent.
Regardless, good luck and do what your piercer tells you to. Take care of your piercings. Infections, especially in oral piercings, can lead to very nasty results.

I got my tounge pierced like 3 years ago and whenever people ask me if it hurt i always say this..it feels like u when u stick a safety pin through the top layer of ur skin. You can feel it going in but it doesnt hurt...its more wierd than painfull.And the healing process wasnt that bad for me at all. If they are a good piercer, they will give u a long barbell so ur tounge has room to swell.

At 15 you are so young and really too young to make your own decisions or know what is best for you, so I hope that you wi get some guidance and seek a lot of tongue piercing knowledge before going to have it done. I am not sure if anyone will pierce you because you are so young, even with a parent because at your age there could be complications, etc. I mean you are 15 and you really do not know what is best for your health right now and your parent, any good parent would make you wait until you are an adult to have it done, or at least 17 to have a tongue piercing.

I just got my tongue pierced recently, and It did not hurt me at all I didnt even know it was done until the guy had to push my tongue back into my mouth. Haha. BUT anywyas, mine was swelled up for about 3 days and the majority of the swelling went down. Its a little uncomfortable but I read that about 2 wks into having the piercing you dont even notice it especially after you change your long barbell to a shorter one. But your only 15, wait a year or so until you do this and consider all the care techniques and the possible problems that may occur and make sure your able to deal with any outcome. hope this helps. take care :]

Jesus, This person has oviously never got his tongue peirced, and also doesnt seem to know how they do it -_-. Okay, i got my tongue peirced about a month ago. The clamp to me, was uncofrotably tight (it felt like as if u were pinching ur tongue), but it wasnt painful. Oh, and for me, i took ibeprofen (sp?) and crunched on soft icecubes and popcycles all day, and my swelling and pain were practically gone the next day, and i could eat hard foods the day after that! OH! I almost forgot , that quote up there, the reason i quoted it, is because im not sure if u al;ready know this, but they dont even piece ur tongue what i mean is, they never actually pierce your tongue, they pierce between ur tongues. Because your tongue is really two muscles side by side held to gether by a thin layer of skin and tissue. thats why if u look at the bottom of your tongue theres that big line, thats where they piece it. so if your thinking "jesus, getting ur tongue pierced must hurt" then ur correct. if someone were to actually pierce the real muscle on ur tongue it would be unbarably painfull with maaass bleedeing. But we're not going to do that .....okay im done

For one thing, I'm pretty sure that quote that you made such a big deal about was a joke. I'm pretty sure he knows how a tongue piercing goes.

For another thing, people get out of the ordinary piercings on their tongues all the time. The "two tongues" you speak of have been pierced before, and will be pierced again i'm sure. Not everyone gets pierced "between their tongues", or however you put it. You can get pierced anywhere on your tongue as long as the major artery that runs through it is not hit.

My tongue piercing hurt really bad, but it's different for everyone. If you have a low pain tolerance it will hurt. Think about biting your tongue extremely hard. It also depends on how efficient the piercer is. The faster they get the piercing done, the less it hurts. I would go to a highly recommended shop. The healing process is long though.
