Yeh recon I would absolutly love that piercing. Your poor friend

not sure what my boyfriend thinks, he says its my choice my body but wont say if he likes them or not

If he doesnt in the end I might if hes lucky take it out but at least I can say I got it done.

think he would just have to like it though.

Would you ever get it done again?

I dunno...maybe? I really loved it but as Im getting older Im becoming more of a chicken and think I'd be too nervous! Especially as someone mentioned earlier that they cant use numbing spray anymore !!!

My swelling went down, then came back again, so bad that you could see the indent of every one of my teeth on my tongue! I took the bar out then, I got scared that I'd suffocate in the night. I did really like having it though, and I did used to play with it, rattling it along my teeth (I know that was really a bad thing to do!)

Anyway, I only had mine for 3 weeks. I sometimes think about trying again, as I did really like it.

Good luck, hope it goes well, sounds like more good stories than horror stories so far!

I have one! I've had a bunch of piercings and my tongue was probably the least painful of everything. I've had it for about 8 years now and it's only been out twice when they made me take it out to have my babies. I actually ended up having a job interview the day after I got it done, and did well, got the job

I love it, no problems or anything, just make sure you have the ice cream handy!

I'm just finding out the address of an excellent piercer in your area, I'll edit when I find....
Ive already got my supply of ice cream in

Good Lass!
What size is the bar that they put in at first?
usually 22mm long, occasionally shorter, it'll be shortened to between 14mm & 18mm (depends on a few things, lol) after approx 2 weeks.
Defo wont go near noodles or spaghetti!!!

I personally found chocolate to be a horrible 'mare, burning, claggy horror, lmao
Il have to stock up on some ibuprofen. Is your speech really affected at first? I answer the phone in work most of the time and there is a few letter s's in the title haha
If u can have about 3 days off, that would be superb, otherwise you will have one achey, mother-luvvin tongue to deal with.
It can be done, but best not too talk too much.
Oh, & 's' will sound like 'sh' (pmsl)
Im off over the weekend so thats not too bad.

Good!

All the best x (& dont forget to drink lots of water!)

Now this is the one that i can't understand.I am in no way being judgemental so don't take it as such.Everyones bodies are their own to do with as they like as far as im concerned (after a certain age of course) ,i just want to understand because to me there seems so many down sides to something which seems to me to have little reward.

Pain,lisping,tooth erosion,risk of infection and not being able to eat your christmas dinner are all enough for me to think ....

why?

I love my teeth had years of authodontistry and would never put them at any risk from erosion.

Is it because it pushes the limits and it gets attention when people catch sight of it ,because its not obvious all the time..now no arguments please just tell me your points of view.I don't suppose anyone just woke up one morning and said 'ooh i think i'll get my tongue pierced just for the heck of it' so why did you or why are you and with all the possible risks that may be involved.

Pain, Thats temporary and once its gone you dont notice its there lisping, I dont lisp, occasional soft d but no lisp tooth erosion, mine is no where near my teeth, shorter bar seemed to solve the 'crunch' prolem risk of infection I didn't get an infection in this but did in my 2nd set of earpiercing on one side despite sticking to the instructions and not being able to eat your christmas dinner are all enough for me to think ....

why? I can eat as well as the next person. I wouldn't have it done just in time for Christmas though grantedly

I love my teeth had years of authodontistry and would never put them at any risk from erosion.

I'm so jealous! This thread really wants me to get some metal in me again. I used to have a nipple piercing but it grew out - i think i may have to get it redone again. But maybe this time both.

What I would really like is a Prince Albert ... but my BF doesn't like them so won't have it done.

YouTube - Tongue Piercing

i love my tongue piercing. You cant really tell i have it done, but its one of those piercings that you dont neccesarily have done for how it looks!! I have other piercings you cant see too! lol. My bf has had his tongue pierced for about 6 years, i had mine about 3 i think. sometimes we take them out if we fancy something a bit different lol. ...Im trying to explain without going into too much detail lol.

pinkynails · 05-12-08, 02:05 PM

its just under 3 weeks til christmas so Im hoping I should be ok with my eating by then at least, trust me il be having me roast dinner one way or the other!!!!!

Even if I had to sit there for ages cutting it into little tiny pieces so I hardly have to chew, I'l do it.

Not long to go, gettin butterflies, hope i dont chicken out haha

pinkynails · 05-12-08, 02:15 PM

ive watched loads of videos on youtube like that, which made me feel better. It looks so quick and no where near as bad as i thought!!

The girl I know I couldnt tell she had her tongue pierced for ages, you hardly see it. I like that.
