Im only 13 right now and I was hoping to get my tongue split when Im going to be like 18, 19, 20 ish. You see I look like a normal person but when u get to know me Im quite crazy, daring, wild, funny, and for most people, weird. I don't exactly listen to the same music the other kids listen either, and to me, I feel too plain for my tastes, my body absoutloutly does not go with my mind (Actually if I think about it I would be this really screwed up monster if it did, LOL) so first I was thinking of a tongue piercing but then I decided that I want a tongue splitting with 2 piercing. I was wondering, how much this costs, does it hurt a lot (I was thinking of numbing it?), does it hurt a lot after, do people not want to hire you as much(Ive heard people won't hire you if you have a few piercings and such, It would be great to hear some stories about this with people with split tongues), is it re-virsable, is kissing better, what are the pro and cons? (Just to let you know the left side of my tongue is name Artemis and the right Aphrodite, ^_^) Mention anything about it please! Many thanks!

!I~Jinxy~i!

Your 13, you need to really think about it...

By the time your 18 and able to get this stuff done... I hope you don't decide on tongue splitting.

Tongue piercing didn't hurt that bad. Just a bit when they pushed the needle through and then again when they put the bar in.

The prob with the piercing is you can accidentally bite the bar ball and break your teeth... Think of having your tongue split and you can double your chance. It hurts!! I bit mine once... thank god my teeth didn't break.

I know someone with 3 bars in their mouth. In a triangle shape.

Just becareful.

I agree, hopefully by age 18, you'll be out of this phase. And yes, any visible body modifications (tattoos, piercings, scarring, even tongue splitting) can hurt your chances of getting the job you may want.

I don't think its quite a phase but I do know about the teeth part, my sister has her tongue pireced and she left a few links on my computer accidentally so I read a few. Also what if they can't see my tongue fully split? After getting a tongue splitting you can practice controlling it (tricks) and you can try to close it while talking to the people (of course without the piercings). I haven't fully decided on the piercings but I do want it done (split tongue).

Plus I have been thinking about this, I wanted this since I was 9, and Im turing 14 soon. But I just wanted a little more info that's why Im doing this here.

There's a huge maturation period from 14 to 18, whereas there's not as much from 9 to 14. Let us know when you are 18 if you decide to do it.

I agree, hopefully by age 18, you'll be out of this phase. And yes, any visible body modifications (tattoos, piercings, scarring, even tongue splitting) can hurt your chances of getting the job you may want.


Haha, Me and my Mother had the diccusion of tattoo's and jobs today as I was driving us to dinner. She said as long and It's nonvisible and I pay for it then she'll think about it

I said 2 nautical stars 1 on each of my wrists are non-visable, she doesn't agree =(

And she didn't even want to get started on the Lip Piercing XD

Your wrist is visible...

Not if its's faced the right direction. I planned on putting it on the inside of my arm, not the outside where it clearly visible.

Besides, Even if so I'll just start wearing a lot of hoodies/long sleeved shirts.

And what if your job requires short sleeved shirts and for you to move your arms?

I am a volunteer in a hotline crisis center, and I get a lot of questions about tatoos and piercing, more of them are about reversing the procedure that about getting the.

Please don't get your tongue split, instead color your hair or shave your head something that will correct itself if you what it to.

I'll Wear Wristwatches =)

Wow, that does sound crazy.. but class.
I've only got my ears pierced twice and my belly done but I want my lip done now.
It could be a phase, you never do know.

You are seriously increasing the chances of mouth infections and diseases by doing this. I don't think you know all of the risks that may accompany what you are contemplating. It will certainly effect your career prospects, and it will also effect many other area's of you life, that you are still too young to even consider.

It is a good thing, that you will have to wait until you are 18 to have that complicated and risky procedure. Anyone that does something like that before you are of an age of consent, could quite likely find themselves in serious trouble for child abuse or endangerment, and find themselves behind bars.

I would seriously re-think your decision, and think about how this could affect your life. Wisdom comes with age, and you are too young right now to realise how this could alter the course of your young life.

Did you also know that this can affect your taste buds? Would you want to risk not tasting your fave food?

I'll Wear Wristwatches =)On both wrists?

Feel free to plan to artist up your body any way you want. I know you feel it is a kind of self-expression, and I respect your right to do so.

But keep in mind that it's only fair that people will respond to you based on the choices you've made. So doing things like this WILL have consequences in the real world. You'll want to say, "Hey, don't judge me," and you'll be wrong for saying that.

It's one thing to be born dwarfed, or bow-legged, or have fingers/toes missing, a cleft palette, or a lazy eyelid. People should be chastised EVERY time they pass a judgment on a person with a birth variance.

But it's another thing to pierce, tattoo, dye or alter your body in any way by CHOICE and think that deserves the same restraint by the world. It doesn't. You will be judged for your actions, they will have consequences, it is correct that that is true, and YOU will be the one who needs to be accepting of the way the world treats you as a result of your choices.

After all, you chose it to draw attention to yourself. Well, now you've got people's attention and they're making a judgment, so be ready to accept that response in whatever form it comes. You requested it, so you'll get it.

So, again, I encourage you to plan for any sort of self-expression you want. It is your life and your body after all. But it would be so unfortunate to miss out on that dream job, or dream girl, or dream team because your artistic choices scared off those opportunities for you. Sad indeed.

Sorry for not responding, my email had notified me for the first few but then it stopped so I had not known. About my tastebuds, just to tell u, all my senses are horrible, god created me a human because If I was some sort of animal I would die right away. My taste is not good, I wear glasses, feeling is not very good, I kind of hurt my ears listening to Drum and Bass and Hardstyle, so yes. And no matter what people will always judge you. Store owners will keep there eyes out for gothic kids and such. Police will be looking for werid things in people when they are being normal. Its life, its judgement, sometimes it saves lifes, sometimes it ruins them. My personality is wacky and crazy, many people think Im on crack or something, but I'm not, I don't do drugs, its just me. At times I care what people think but when they miss judge me its not there fault, its not mine nethier, nor my parents. Honestly, it would be better off if Im dead, I obviosuly can't handle lifes complex ways so why not live it while I can? My dream job requires too much smartness that I do not have, no matter how much I wish or try I will never succeed so that shall no impair my "dream job" for I shall never have it. Other jobs sure but Im not the office time with handling people so they shant be scared. Some day Ill probably fall off a bridge or get electrucuted (sp? ) because I hadn't seen the sign, or kill myself when things get rough, or get blamed for something I didn't do, or some other thingy that's screwed. So Id rather live life the way I can before Im gone.

If your "dream job" is a job you're not prepared to acquire because you think you're not smart enough, or perhaps you're secretly just too unmotivated to DO the work, then that's not your "dream job", is it?

A dream job is something you're inately good at, enjoy doing, and (surprise!) someone is willing to pay you to do it! So by definition you ARE capable of acquiring your true dream job, or dream jobs.

This has nothing to do with childish wishfulness for things like being President or an astronaut. So I do not accept your premise you cannot get a dream job. You just have the wrong one(s) in mind.
=============
I'm no Suicide Hotline expert, so I won't bother trying to talk you down off that ledge you've got yourself on emotionally.

But I repeat my earlier warning, there's nothing going on in your life you're not greatly in charge of affecting. Walking around feeling like a victim ("get blamed something I didn't do...") is a complete waste of time, and you don't feel any better for it either, so...

If you really ARE going to off yourself sometime, then I agree with you, you should make the most of the time you DO have. That includes not wasting it. No one is going to remember what you did to alter your body, or what you wore, or any of that stuff.

The only thing anyone is going to remember after you're gone is what you did to make the world around you a little better, what you managed to do for others.
===============
If I only had a limited amount of time left on this planet, I wouldn't spend it sightseeing or partying or tattooing or boozing, I'd spend it feeding the homeless, volunteering at the Boys/Girls club, helping in the Children's Ward at the hospital, or elderly care center, anything I could find to make some small difference in someone's life.

That's what I would do.

You aren't born smart enough to acquire your dream job. If you were, we wouldn't be in need of an educational system. Go to college, and educate yourself on whatever you want to do. You will be smart enough for that dream job once you graduate college. Different jobs require different degrees. What exactly is your dream job?

My dream job would be being a Marine Bio, and you need math and science, in science I got an A but math, ugh, Im horrible at it,
I understand the material but I forget it easily and I tottaly freak and break down during tests.
To get a good job in Marine Bio you need to go to university, and that's if you get really good grades and if your smart, which is not me, I can learn but I forget, I need a longer time to learn math.
I don't get why u spend a week doing a Social Studies project and then a day on one part of Math, that's too quick for it to be lodged in my brain properly.

You can go to a University. What's stopping you? If this is really your dream job nothing will stop you. Just take more math classes so that it sinks in more, do more extra credit. I'm horrid at math too, and you know what I do for a living? I'm an optician, my job is nothing but math. And I absolutely love it. It's what I want to do.

A lot, but meh

Alot, but meh
Nothing so important that you cannot follow your dream.

As I mentioned, nothing stops you but falling victim to your own unmotivation. Nothing comes without work, the work itself is the reward.

Meanwhile, the Marine Biology idea leads to a lot of simpler suggestions, too. Getting a job at an aquarium or zoo with ocean animals, even as a janitor, can open the door to getting to work with those animals eventually... patience and timing may be all it takes, along with letting people there know you have the desire.

Move to a tropical environment, learn scuba diving and then teach people. Work on a diving boat. Not everyone working on a university diving platform is a biologist with a degree.

Those are 2 minutes of ideas, there are more you can think of that I can't.

I already do scuba diving/snorkling, I've been doing it for 7 years now, also some zoos don't treat animals right, same with the aquarium, I feel training wild animals to do tricks isn't right, if they cannot be released back into the wild that doesn't mean you can train it to bark like a dog and such. Were would the money come from to move into a tropical environment? Also teaching people things isn't really my thing, I'm not good at it at all. I agree with you but the field I want to work in does. Plus more money if you do.

Piercings, tattoos and split tongues. Consider just exactly how you will explain these things to your grandchildren that look to you for morality when you are 50. And trust me, at 50 you still have the same passion and desire as when your 13. It's just tempered with the experience of 37 years of regrets for the crazy things we have done as teens.

I already do scuba diving/snorkling, ive been doing it for 7 years now, also some zoos dont treat animals right, same with the aquarium, I feel training wild animals to do tricks isnt right, if they cannot be released back into the wild that dosent mean u can train it to bark like a dog n such. Were would the money come from to move into a tropical enviroment? Also teaching people things isnt really my thing, im not good at it at all. I agree with you but the field I want to work in does. Plus more money if u do.

I think one of your problems may be that you underestimate yourself. Some things that you have mentioned are very contradictory. Do you know how many threads I read here everyday where young people can't even form a sentence? Or for that matter, spell a simple word! It seems like you have a fairly good grasp on that.

I also think you might like to do things for the sheer shock factor involved. Splitting your tongue will get the shock alright, but I don't think it will be the attention you want... especially when you get older and more experienced.

My ex, got his certificate as a Master Rescue Diver. He achieved that at a local lake, through a diving school. He has saved human lives, as well as animals and marine life. He then put away a little money from each paycheck he got from his boring job, to go on trips to places like Hawaii, so he could go deep sea diving. My point is, he didn't have to start at the top of the game. He tried to learn everything he could from everyone he met, and did his OWN homework on the side. By the way, he wasn't good at math either.

You must have a local YMCA right? They offer classes there to get your certification, and that opens doors for you. They also have programs there that help you, if money is a problem. There are also grants and scholarships that you can apply for, in the Marine Bio field. There are a ton of things you can do to get your foot in the door, and as mentioned above, even if you have to start as a janitor, you can learn from others.

Just another thought... if you decide to split you tongue, that will only hinder your chances in the Bio field, and diving at whatever level. Not only in getting a job, grant, or scholarship etc. in that line of work, but the health risks of diving having done that.

I'm sure even McDonalds wouldn't hire you to serve their fish sandwiches, if you had your tongue split. In fact, your job choices would probably be limited to working in a tattoo parlour.

Just something to think about.

One more thing. Since it seems like you love animals, volunteer at your local SPCA. You can get more experience with animals there, and they always need help. Even if it's taking the dogs out for a walk and to play, or pet the cats and give them some love, it would be a good start.

Another promblem is that my parents are really protective and won't let me volunteer at the SPCA (enough though its like 2 or 3 blocks away) or anything else like that and we have no local or close by YMCA unless you take a ferry...

Who exactly are they protecting you from? The big mean dogs of the canine variety? Are you making excuses? I think if you sat down and honestly talked with your parents about your love of animals, they would approve of you volunteering at a place that is safe.

Im not making excuses at all. Our neighborhood isn't exactly homeless, drug, drinks, free. Lots of crazyies they say. Ive been asking for years, they say stuff like maybe next year, maybe next year, its too smelly there, we don't want you working with sick animals it may catch onto our cats, blah blah, if anyone's making anything up its my parents. If you want to walk dogs in our SPCA u need to be 18 and over or with an adult. First I wanted to be a vet but they said it would be gross and smelly and very un hygenic, they don't want me to work in a smelly place with sick animals. But I am planing to ask my parents again around winter break, but I majourly doubt they'll say yes. Not to be racist or mean but Ive relaized Europen (SP?) parents are wayyy more protective than Canadian or Americans

Not to be racist or mean but Ive relaized Europen (SP?) parents are wayyy more protective than Canadian or AmericansIt's not racist or mean, its just ignorant. To think "protectiveness" is a geographic thing is unbelievably simplistic.

Anywhere on the planet, one house will have a lazy and carefree, the next house will be full of overprotective, overcontrolling parents, and the next house will have it right.

It's not Canadian, American or European that makes people overprotective, it's their own past.

If you are saying Im "ignorant" then you too are calling yourself that for that is what I was referring to. Past is different for each person but it takes part in which country you live in(wars, etc).

Ignorant wasn't meant as an insulting word, but I imagine it might "sound" that way to you. Ignorant just meant uninformed, lacking in full comprehension. Not stupid... anyway...

I stand by my comment, harsh as it may sound. When you say, "Not to be racist or mean but Ive relaized Europen (SP?) parents are wayyy more protective than Canadian or Americans"... I immediately agree... you're not being mean or racist when you say that, you're being ignorant of all the facts.

This is a huge issue. For you or anyone to boil it down to a geographic summary is well... if not ignorant, let's just call it "unbelievably simplistic and unsupportable as a thesis."

Is that better?

Today I reread this whole post of so much nonsense, I remember I felt so pushed around by you guys, as if you weren't here to help me but to bring me down further (Some of you did help me feel better though!). I was not making excuses, when I can not, I can not, different locations, religions, families, age,past, etc give you limits in my opinion. A week ago or so I had a huge argument with my parents of the SPCA volunteer thing, they said I can in the summer but only if I volunteer at my Dads (-.- paper work n more paper work ugh) but I agreed, so hopefully they will keep to their side of the story too. But better than nothing, as for my tongue piercing thing, I do still want to get it, but since Im still not getting a lot of nessary advice upon it, I may just look forward to just a simple tongue piercing.

I read through the post again also to refresh my memory. Honey I saw more encouragement, than negativity. We were talking to you about your career path and such. I think that we were trying to explain the consequences, as far as health problems, career opportunities, etc. that you would face further down the line if you didn't put a lot of thought into getting your tongue split.

I realise that you are really wanting to express your individuality, but at your age you cannot make an informed decision. I'm in no way saying that you are stupid or anything of the sort. What I'm trying to say is your brain has not fully developed at your age, and you don't have the ability to see around corners yet. It's just a fact when growing up. I thought I knew everything there was to know, when I was your age. Boy was I wrong! Nobody could have told me anything when I was your age. I ended up doing some pretty stupid things that I regret doing, but thank God they weren't permanent.

I haven't had my tongue pierced so I can't advise you on that, but it is certainly a better choice than getting your tongue "split!" Personally, I don't see anything wrong with a tongue piercing if you get the information you need on how to take care of it to prevent infection. You can always take the piercing out when you want to, but with tongue splitting, you tongue won't grow back together. It's permanent. One day you will quite likely have children and grandchildren. What do you think your kids or grandkids would think of granny with the split tongue? Do you see what I mean about not being able to see around corners? Right now that seems 10 lifetimes away to you doesn't it?

I'm so happy that your parents have agreed to let you work at the SPCA! Those animals could sure use your help and compassion. Maybe in the meantime, you can come onto the dog forum here, and read through some of the posts, and help us out! We can always use the help of someone who loves animals like you do! You might even learn a little bit there too. If we can convince just one more person to adopt a pet from a shelter, instead of supporting the puppymills and backyard breeders, then that one less animal that has to die in a shelter because he doesn't have a home or anyone to love him. So, join us and help out if you'd like! :)

This thread went off on several tangents, but regarding your desire to tattoo/tongue pierce... my words spelled out below were meant to encourage you. Note, encouragement meaning "affirm it is fine for you to do these things if you really, really want to, but also accept all that comes with it from those around you...friends/family/strangers."

Ok, since I can see no one here actually gave you any facts about pain, pricing, risks, etc like you wanted, here you go. Here's a link to one of the best sites there is about body mods. It'll answer your basic questions about tongue splitting. TONGUE SPLITTING FAQ -- TONGUE LENGTHENING FAQ (http://bmezine.com/tsplitfaq.html) I'm not here to judge and I don't care how old you are right now. You said you wanted to get it done at 18, 19, or 20 right? If you still want it then, its your choice and more power to you.

Another good idea would be to search for tongue splitting vids on YouTube. There are vids of it being done, and vids of people just showing it off and playing with it. The biggest advantage though to looking up the vids is reading comments. It gives you an idea of how some people feel and react to split tongues. Plus, the person who made the vid. Will often answer questions. Who better to ask than someone who has gone through it? As far as jobs, I'm not completely sure of which jobs will hire and which won't. Well, except I know a piercing or tattoo place prob. Would. It depends on the job and the employer. You might have to find a job that didn't require interacting with a lot of people. Like a behind the scenes type of job or an at home job but then like I said, I don't know. Dating may be a bit harder and you might scare some people off but you will find people who will accept you for who you are. Personally I would get mine split(not right this second though, I'm 17), but I've got those job and dating concerns.

Here's my experience with tongue piercings. The price of mine was $50. The 2 main common gauges used are 14 and 12. Mine was pierced with a 12. They start you out with long jewelry to accomedate swelling and then you can come back 2 weeks later and they'll shorten it. It does hurt but it hurts less than biting your tongue on accident. It is EXTREMELY annoying the first week due to the swelling, pain and especially the long barbell but it gets better. You have to rinse it out with mouthwash after you eat or drink anything. Try not to get alcohol mouthwash but if you do, dilute it with water. Biotene is the best to use but kind of expensive. Before you know it you'll be used to it and it'll be completely healed. It heals very fast. Hope this post helped.

Oh Thank you~! You have helped very very much way2weird0! Also I scare off people anyway LOL, if no one will move in the hallways at school when I say excuse me I make quite strange noises and everyone backs off, my friends go behind me, Im a path clearer, and I like dating weird people anyway, so they usually accept me, Im unique~ =D. But thank you so much!

Jinxz, are you still going to volunteer at the shelter? Although there was info in the above advice, please remember that your career choices are going to be limited if you still decide to do this. Piercing is one thing. Splitting is another. Splitting is permanent, and it won't grow back. You are young, and I know you love animals, and you have a good head on your shoulders, so I know you will decide the right thing to do. Please don't be swayed by peer pressure! :)

Edit: Please continue being unique honey! That's what makes the worle go 'round! Just don't make any rash decisions that could affect the rest of your life.

LOL I am definitely not swayed by peer pressure, but thank you for your concern, I will think about it, I do understand this will probably hurt my career choices BTU I still have time to think. But yes I will voulenteer at the SPCA in the summer.

OK my friend has her tongue peirsed and is thinking about the split I would say no. its one thing to get a peirsing, you can take it out and have a smalll scar. You won't be able to undo that. Just go with making you appearance reflect you without doing anything completely life changing. Because a tongue split could make it hard to find a good job.

Oh Thank you~! You have helped very very much way2weird0! Also I scare off people anyway LOL, if no one will move in the hallways at school when I say excuse me I make quite strange noises and everyone backs off, my friends go behind me, Im a path clearer, and I like dating weird people anyways, so they usually accept me, Im unique~ =D. But thank you so much!

No prob! I'm extremely happy to see that my post helped you so much and that hopefully I gave you a better idea of what you would be getting into if you chose to do this in the future.

Lol I hear you about being unique. I'm pretty unique too(well look at my name way2weird0 haha). I've been kind of working my way up as far as appearance. You know scaring people little by little haha. From make up, to coloring my hair which is all pink and blue right now, to piercings, etc. I like dating weird people too but damn they are too hard to find sometimesXD My boyfriend though, he wants horn implants, his eyes tattooed black, lots of tattoos, and I don't know what else. I personally wouldn't go that far but I'd still stick with him :)

OH AND DISCLAIMER: My posts are not meant to either encourage or discourage bod mods such as tongue splitting. Merely to inform.

Horn implants? :eek: Uhhmm, can you explain please? I'm not sure I want to hear, although I'm curious.

Ohhhh, Ive heard implants such as horns n stars, but tattoing eyes, never heard that one! That must be farrrr more worse than tongue splitting, ouch!

Ohhhh, Ive heard implants such as horns n stars, but tattoing eyes, never heard that one! That must be farrrr more worse than tongue splitting, ouch!

Stick to the piercing Jinx! Eye tatooing? :rolleyes: I like my vision thanks! I still don't know what these horn implants are though. I would be afraid that my only options would be do date a bull! :eek: LOL! Does that mean I'd never be able to wear red again? Haha!

Horn implants?? :eek: Uhhmm, can you explain please? I'm not sure I want to hear, although I'm curious.

Basically they're plastic ball shaped things inserted under your skin. This explains it a tiny bit better. Horn Implant - BMEzine Encyclopedia (http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Horn_Implant)

Well that's one kind anyway

I personally think they just look like boils or something. I don't really care for them.

Another kind is this Transdermal Implant - BMEzine Encyclopedia (http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Transdermal_implants)

Kind of... well really makes me cring >.< I don't know if my boyfriend was talking about the first or the second kind but if he were to decide to get them in the future after all, at least he wants really tiny ones. Still don't care for this either and he probably wouldn't end up doing it.

LOL I wouldn't want to tattoo my eyes, I have really bad eyes, I want laser eye surgery when Im old enough. But I believe the horn implants (from what I've seen) are these (not completley sure, didn't fully take the research) jellyish stuff? Maybe somehting like for fake boobs? And they put them under your skin (from what I've seen on YouTube, this guy got stars on his head) so you can see the shape. Or have have a girl tattoo with actual lumps for breasts (LOL). LOL date a bull, that gave me a funny mental picture

{EDIT}Oh, yes, way2weird0 answered already, srry for repeating

Oh and the eye tattooing thing, I don't think it would hurt as much as splitting but it seems waaaay scarier to have a needle coming towards your eye. Yikes!! >.<

I could never give up wearing red lmao.

LOL date a bull, that gave me a funny mental picture

Hee hee ditto

Yeah, that mental image has been burned into my brain now too! LOL!

I think there is a difference between wanting to be unique, and then just being wreckless. I don't think some people that do this at a young age recognize the health concerns that could permanently affect them. Seriously, I know that most young kids think that they will just never get old, or they know it's a fact but they think it's so far off in the future, that they think what they do when they're young won't have any impact on their life.

How about a scenario like your son or daughters wedding, or your grandchilds batism for instance?. and I would like to introduce you to my mother/father!. she/he is the one with the tattoed eyes, split tongue, and horns!. would you like to come for lunch with us?

My tongue is split. Have a Surgeon do it, it will cost more (mine was $1000) but it will be permanent and you will have less (almost no) chance of complications. Make sure they don't just cut it. It should be cauterized and sutured as well to be permanent. Expect 1-2 weeks on eating real food again and being able to be understood while speaking. Your speech will be 95%+ normal by the end of 4 weeks. This mod is invisible, I've only had 1 person notice it who I hadn't shown it to, my parents haven't even noticed it in 6 months of weekly visits for Sunday dinner. The pain during the procedure is non-existent if you have a surgeon do it, the pain while recovering is small too. I used less than 10 of the 30 perks I was prescribed. The first few days are kind of rough though, Expect to be drooling nonstop for the first 3-4 days.

The procedure is reversible, but why would you want to. You should view something like this as permanent.

All of that said, I absolutely adore mine and I'm very glad I did it. I'm 31.. I wish I'd have done it 10 years ago.
