you won't get sick
it'll just pass through you

if you really do feel like you'll get sick, though
you should just go in for a simple check up or talk to a doctor

but a friend of mine swallowed his girlfriends while they were kissing and he's 100% fine

I'm almost positive that you're going to be completely fine. If the spike didn't cut anything on the way down and you didn't even really notice it, then it won't cause any damage internally.. just be more careful with your studs!

Depends on how sharp the spike was. If it was blunt. You should be all right. It will be lost in all your digestion waste and come out the other end. But if its pointy then definetly seek advice just to be sure.

Good luck x

it should come out when you go to the bathroom. I don't think it is big enough to cause any gastric distress... but none the less, call the emergency room, and ask them too.

You should be ok. You'll probably pass it in a day or two. But if you feel any stomach cramping seek medical attention immediately, the sharp point may cause a perforation.

yes go to the doctor just to be sure you don't want it to puncture anything or setup a nasty infection that you wont catch until its too late and irreversible.

yea I don't think anything should happen. Drink plenty of water and just try to relax :3 You should be fine

No, I would not worry. Unless you have pain or bleeding when you use the bathroom...relax. To ease your mind, you can call a doctor in the morning, but I am sure it is no big deal. Good luck

you will most likely be fine.
its like people swallowing pennies and what not.
they dont get sick or anything.
but if your still unsure, you should go back to the place where you go it pierced, or just any peircing place and ask them

If its not painfull, you'll be just fine.
I did the same thing
you'll poop it out, just like corn... lol

ull proly be fine, i really doubt the spike is sharp enough to puncture anything, u might want to go to ur doctor and just ask about to make sure, but dont freak, i think ull be fine.

It doesn't look all too dangerous... plus there isn't a whole lot that a doctor or medical professional could do for you that you can't do for yourself.... It'll just pass thru your system naturally

no worries its so small it will pass out your system in no time.if it does become lodged in anyway you would be aware of the spike its causing but hey we eat spiky food and dont always chew properly with no ill effects.

if it was metal then yes,if it was plastic then i would not worry that much about it.....

If it wasn't too sharp, don't worry at all. As for seeking medical attention, I don't think they would do anything anyways. What are they going to do, cut you open and yank it out? Just forget about it.

I wouldnt worry about it, its so small that it will pass right thru its stainless steel too, right? Thats not harmful to ur system.

I'm not into piercings, but I can tell you from swallowing a chicken bone, if you can't feel it in your throat, then it's probably into the stomach. Most things pass and come out in our feces. If you feel that you need to know, go have an Ultrasound. This is costly. I hope you have health insurance that will cover the costs.
