Tounge piercing?!

Tounge piercing?

i have a tounge piercing which is about a year old now i still clean it twice daily, but here recently it seems to be sore, almost like i bruised it. i did accidently bite on the bar and i was just wondering if this is normal or possible, it doesnt look bruised or infected!!! just looking for some experience or thoughts please!!! thanx!!!

Did you maybe rip it a little? I have my belly pierced (totally different, i know) and it was really sore like that, but i couldn't see a thing and it didn't even look like it had been ripped. So i showed it to the piercer and he looked at it and said i had ripped it just a tiny bit, enough to make it sore, but not enough to be noticed.
