Tongue Piercing

cheechthecheechy · #1 Aug 13, 2006, 02:32 AM

I just thoguth aobut tongue piercing and began imagining how mad it would be. Having a piece of metal in your mouth. I wanna get one of these when im older, cos its pretty easy to hide, and doesnt amke u seem like a punk or anything (unlike eyebrow studs or anything.

Can people tell me the adv and disadv from experience?

Id like to know a few questions like these:

Can you taste the metal in your mouth?
Does it hurt when you eat something salty?
Does it hurt when u pierce it at all?
If so, for how long after?
Does it really make it hard to speak?
What criticism do you get from it? Do poeple say ur showing off, or are emo or anything?

hey,

it will be annoying for a while but you get used to it
it will hurt for a week or two wen u eat ne thing but after that it should be fine
it will hurt a bit its not that bad
at first it will be hard to talk cause you will have to get used to it
if you really want it get it done dont worry about other peoples attitudes its for you to like not them..

good luck

well, i just like the idea of having some metal in your mouth, so like when ur bored you can fiddle with it a bit. Just don't like hte disadv that come with it. Thnx alot!

i have had mine done 2 times and the pain is not as bad as you would think mine hurt for 2 days but after the swelling went down it was fine it takes a while to get used to it but i have had mine done for about a year now and i can't feel it at all and it has in no way changed my speech or how people see me they don't even know it is there

I too have had my tongue pierced twice. I took it out the first time because I thought I was too old for it and then I ended up missing it. The swelling goes away after a few days, well at least for me it did. You end up growing attached to it. It sounds crazy, but I believe it to be true. I ended up chipping part of a tooth when I was eating. I've accidentally swallowed my tongue ring when I was eating because it had become loose, one of the balls wasn't screwed/clicked in. (No I didn't look for it when it passed. LOL) I say go for it. I loved it. One tip. If you are going to give fellatio, make sure you change the longer tongue ring that you're pierced with to a shorter one so as to not cause pain. I, ahem, heard it hurts?? *cough*

I HAVE MY TONGUE PIERCED TWICE AND AM AN APPRENTICE IN A TATTOO SHOP FOR PIERCING HOPE FULLY I CAN HELP YOU....

Can you taste the metal in your mouth? NO YOU CANT TASTE THE METAL IN YOUR MOUTH I MEAN AT FIRST IT FEELS WEIRD BUT YOU GET USED TO IT

Does it hurt when you eat something salty? WHEN YOU FIRST GET YOUR TONUGE PIERCED YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT ANYTHING SALTY UNTIL IT IS HEALED BUT THAT DOESNT STOP PEOPLE. IT DOESNT HURT, BUT YOU HAVE TO WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT WITH MOUTHWASH AFTER YOU PUT ANYTHING INTO YOUR MOUTH

Does it hurt when u pierce it at all? YOU FEEL A PINCH WHEN THE NEEDLE GOES THROUGH...THATS IT...
If so, for how long after? ABOUT A WEEK DEPENDS ON HOW FAST YOU HEAL

Does it really make it hard to speak? I HAVE TWO OF THEM AND I TALK FINE SOME PEOPLE DONT EVEN REALIZE THAT I HAVE MY TONGUE PIERCED AT ALL LET ALONE 2 TIMES...AND AFTER THE SWELLING OF THE TONGUE GOES DOWN YOU TALK OK...THAT IS IF IT EVEN SWELLS AT ALL

What criticism do you get from it? Do poeple say ur showing off, or are emo or anything? NO...AND WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE THINK

The only potential downside is that you can chip teeth or bridgework, so a $20 piercing can cost you $300 in dental repairs...
