there is a sharp pain at first but nothing to bad , if pirced in the correct place it shouldnt actually hurt that much, the bleeding depends on the person normally it bleeds a fair bit but with some people it pisses out blood alot and with others it doesnt. a short while after it will start to hurt but its barable, and will swell up alot!

let me think, you're thinking about letting someone drive a long skewer through your tongue, and you're asking if it hurts??

I think it might hurt a little.

Each person has their own pain tolerance level - so when I say it hurts, the next person will say it does not hurt. There is, at the minimum, mild pain. But if you any issues handling pain of any sorts, think again.

Just a question - if your tongue piercing gets infected, who is going to pay for your doctor bill and antibiotics and follow-up? I ask that because my former babysitter had this done to her when she turned 16 and her tongue got infected. Her parents made her pay for her own medical bills for that.

Well I had my tongue pierced and my nose pierced...my nose hurt more, and I kept that, but people kept getting wrong ideas about my tongue piercing, PLUS although it was fun to play with, I have a fairly short tongue, so it wasnt straight, it had to be pierced at an angle...the person who pierced mine was nice and talked to me throughout the whoel thing so I really wasnt thinking about it when he did it, but it didnt hurt that much. HOWEVER...the rest of the day and the next day, and possibly the next after that, my tongue was EXTREMELY sensitive. If I were you I would wait till you're al ittle older before you decide to do this. You may rethink it and decide you dont want it after all.

I have asked a lot of friends about this and not because I want a tongue ring but just because I am curious. I have been told that a tongue piercing is easier than the lip, nose, nipple, and many other piercings. My close friend said that he did not even feel the needle go through and that his ear piercing hurt worse. I have also heard that after you get your tongue pierced is will be uncomfortable for a while because you have to eat soupy, mashy blended foods and it will taste like metal for a little while. If you attempt to eat any solid foods it will hurt bad but this is only from what I have been told. I guess after a week you can eat whole foods again. The pain afterwards should be minimal or like a small picnhing sensation on your tongue but you have to follow after care properly or you could get infected, etc. Do your research and look at all the options before making a final decision if you want to get it done. I know I can't be much help because I have never had it done but this is what I have heard from different people. Hope this helps!

Tongue piecings don't hurt any more than any other piercing would. In fact it's probably easier. There is a lot of flesh on the tongue, but it's easier to push through. Healing is a little harder, although that also matters how you heal in general. There's always local swelling, and you may not be able to chew solids, but that will pass within a week or so. Don't worry about infections and such. As long as you take good care of it, use mouthwash (but only about 3 times a day..just as much as your suppose to brush your teeth) chances are you won't even have a problem with it.
