I want to get a tongue ring?!


Question: I want to get a tongue ring!?
Okay, im pretty okay with pain, i've got 4 tattoo's!. One on each foot (on the top right before it goes to my toes)!. One between my shoulder blades, and then one on my lower back!.

I really want my tongue pierced!. How bad does it hurt!? A friend of mine said when she got hers done, she ate a banana before she went (something about the potassium helps with the swelling) and then she said it didn't hurt when they pierced it!. But it gets sore!.

I realize that its gonna hurt!. But will i be able to handle it!?

(Please don't give the comments telling me not to mutilate my body, or it causes enamel loss and gum issues i know this)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you can handle any responsibilities well, especially responsibilities relating to taking care of your body, then go for it! If it is something you truly want to do, then get it done!. Be sure to brush your teeth every day and use non-alcoholic mouthwash as well!. Your piercer will explain everything to you (or should)!. Also, go to a trusted piercer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had mine done and here it is!.!. The actual piercing itself doesn't hurt much, its just a little pinch, and you can feel the needle going through your tongue but it doesn't hurt!.!. don't know why!.!. Anyway!.!. The next day is when it feels really shitty!. You cant talk!.!. you cant eat anything but soup for like 3 days because any movement with your tongue hurts!.!.

But!.!.!. it goes away in 2-3 days!.!. and its not so bad :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

my cousin has a pierced on her tounge she said that yes its hurt but only on the beginning after that the hurt is gone but after you pierced your tounge its hard to heal it and you cant even eat food on a easy way like before and i think the smell is disgustingWww@Answer-Health@Com

Mine actually didn't hurt at all, I expected it to because it was quite a large gauge and it wasn't numbed!.

The days after can be a little rough, but not excruciating, it's just a little tender!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The piercing itself doesn't really hurt!. It's just the couple days after that it's sore!. Sucking on ice for a few days after helps with the pain and swelling!. I have to say my bellybutton was worse than my tongue pain wise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course it hurts, you're shoving a hollow needle through your tongue!. But the pain is quick!.!.!.and then it's done!. The healing part is worse!.!.!.you have a dull ache for about a week!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I dont have one, but alot of my friends do & they saidthe actual piercing doenst hurt but the healing process does!. You get to eat lots of ice cream! Good Luck!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

NO No NO NO tongue piercings!. They are linked to heart infections even in young people and those infections can cause heart attacks and stokes!. So no no no no no!.!.!.!.they really stressed this in nursing schoolWww@Answer-Health@Com

if you can handle a tatoo on your foot, you'll be able to handle a tounge peircing!.

good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think people who have other piercings know about the risks of getting pierced, but I write them down for the people, who want to get through their first piercing!. One danger is that nerves or veins are pierced!. I think I needn't tell you about the consequences of that!.

The Piercing (I hope I remember it correctly) may not be made of surgery steel in the first weeks after the piercing, because it consists of too much nickel!.

I think those are the two most important things!. If I forgot anything please tell me!.

AFTER THE PIERCING:

You may not eat or drink milk products, because the lactic acid bacteria can disturb the healing extremely!.

You may not smoke for 24 hours (I was so stupid and smoked again after 4 hours)

You may not kiss your boyfriend / friend for a whole week, because the bacteria of the other can disturb the healing!. Ok, we kissed again after 2 days; I think nobody can miss that for one week!.

You should wash your mouth out with a disinfectant Listerine in the morning and in the evening and the piercing should be cleaned, because your meal can still be sticking on it!.

In the first days you shouldn't take blood thinning medicine, for example Paracetamol, because then there will be a massacre in your mouth (too much blood)!.

For the reason that the tongue can calm down and it doesn't hurt so much I recommend to reduce talking to a minimum, for example my friend hast to talk very much in his job and he had to go home because his tongue ached too much!. If you move your tongue only a little bit, it doesn't really ache!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
