im not going to try and stop you from getting one, just be safe as they can cause problems, but if you really want one no matter what then go for it, you only live once after all, just do whatever you do with safety.
its low class
If you want to eat mashed potatoes for a week, risk infection and chip your teeth all up then go for it.
Edit: My brother has one and it is disgusting. he clacks his teeth with it all the time. His teeth are all chipped up. It is just gross. My son is scared of it.
Nooo, they're not painful everyday. They're a bit painful when you first get one though.
they seem sorta slutty though, you don't want to get stereotyped.
Tongue rings are a big turn off...
an de mak you take fanny
I had it done when I was about your age. The pain was horribly intense. Worst pain I had ever felt. I took it out a couple of years later when I wanted people to take me seriously. There will come a point when you would rather be viewed as grown-up. Then you will want to take it out. So the pain is all for nothing. Why even put yourself through it?
I think it's vile. But if you like it, then you like it! It was originally for sexual pleasure, but it's become a fashion in recent years.
Think long and hard before you do it, it carries risks.. My friend had his done and loved it, but once he was eating and accidentally bit on the bar, and shattered his whole jaw. He now has plates in his jaw and still suffers pain from it.
i know loads of people who've had it done. they say it hurts fo a short while when its being done but afterwards its ok. you have to clean it well and be careful about what you do and eat following having it pierced. if you catch it on something, it will hurt like mad but be careful and you will be fine
The swelling will occur 3-7 days afterwards and can be extremely uncomfortable. Cold, Slurpee-style drinks and sucking on ice will help to mitigate the swelling and soreness, as will ibuprofen. This swelling must be accounted for by using a longer piece of initial jewelry, which is later replaced by a shorter piece of jewelry to prevent the healed piercing from damaging the teeth and gums.
A tongue piercing usually takes 4-6 weeks to fully heal. Aftercare for tongue piercings is more complicated than most other piercings, as the healing piercing will come into contact with anything that enters the mouth, including food and smoke. For these reasons, many certified piercers suggest as after care guidelines, not to smoke, and to rinse the mouth thoroughly with antiseptic mouthwash. The piercer should recommend either an alcohol-free mouthwash or diluting a regular mouthwash, as the alcohol will irritate the piercing and slow healing. It is especially important
RISKS
There is a minor risk of heavy bleeding if a vein is hit; however, a qualified piercer should have no problem avoiding blood vessels. Some bleeding is normal, but a medical professional should be contacted if it cannot be controlled.
The piercing has a tendency to heal a bit crooked as a result of the frenulum's placement in the exact center of the tongue. This is usually undetectable by anyone except the piercing's owner, but in some cases it can be quite pronounced.
Tooth and gum damage are risks, but they can be minimized by proper placement, the use of properly-sized jewelry, and avoiding playing with the piercing. A bar that is very large-gauge or too long can greatly increase the risk of chipped teeth or gum erosion, and excessive impacts of the metal against the teeth can cause micro-fractures in the tooth enamel.
Because of the tongue's exceptional natural healing ability, piercings can close very quickly. Even completely healed, very-large-gauge holes can close up completely in a matter of just a few days.
I think they are sickk looking your only young once. alll the OLD people will freak out haha.
well,
1. if they miss they could hit a major blood vessel and you could bleed to death.
2. you will have trouble speaking and pronouncing words
3. it doesn't look that good
4. yeah it's lowclass
i wouldn't do it..get something safer pierced
It's not painful. Basically, they just pinch your tongue in a clamp and put the ring thru. It doesn't hurt but feels EXTREMELY WEIRD! It doesn't hurt afterward but your tongue swells up a lot and is sore. Once you get one, it feels weird to change it out. Expect to chomp down on it accidentally and don't expect your teeth to survive the tongue ring. I took mine out after about a year. I was sick of constantly cleaning it, staying away from dairy and it hurt my teeth. But that's just me. I would wait until your 18. but there isn't much pain with it...just the pain from chomping on it.
I will admit, I was trailer trash when I got mine. It's really low class. If that's what you're going for, do it. Otherwise, don't expect to be taken seriously!
Don't do it. Just say no. It just gives people a glimpse into your personal life that may or may not be accurate and may or may not be flattering
