Hey. Well i've been wanting my tongue pierced for about two years now but just been too wimpish to actually go and get it done. I just wanted to know when people had it done if it hurt at all or alot and about how much people paid to get it done?

It hurts a little but don't worry, its more annoying as for a week or so it swells up bad and it's hard to eat, although no pain,
Good luck

Thing is, i have a fear of needles
The second thing im scared of is my reflexes, i have a feeling that as soon as it starts to prick my tongue, my reflexes will try to pull my tongue back into my mouth, tensing the muscle (as the tongue is a muscle...) and therefore making it hurt more
this happened to anyone?!
Also, not onlyl the cost of the piercing, but the constant buying of metal, balls and such it gets to be quite expensive.
Plus I nearly chipped a tooth, the enamal wears off on your teeth from it hitting aggainst it, I swallowed a few balls before.
But it was cool while it lasted. Go for it, the pain is over very quickly and you'll learn to love pudding and applesauce for about a week. I know quite a few people who said it was the most painless piercing they've had. Good luck.
:nervous: my worst fear confirmed!!
Oh god I hadn't even seen your post
Mine only cost £15 to have done, got a voucher from uni.
Blah your at Lincoln Uni right? Get yours done at Blue Banana, I've had no problems with my piercing and the staff are great.
One thing i will be getting done is my other nipple.
Men, tongue piercings, *vomits* I'm sure some girl will enjoy that barely there extra sensation, but ehhhh, imo.
And generally it swells to the lisping and hard to eat solid foods for 3-5ish days.
yeh i have a voucher too, was planning on going there if i get the guts to go! Do they numb it there? I know only some places do
don't remember them numbing it but I'm sure the clamp had something on it.
Piercing goes with pain, otherwise what's the point...
The tongue is fuck all to pierce, it'll barely hurt (unless done by a crappy piercer), just don't get drunk the same day (if you do your tongue will swell and it will hurt bad) and you'll be fine...
The piercer said my tongue was too short!! Its not really though? And that my vein underneath it was too close to the front or something and he didn't want to do it. He said he could probably pierce it in some form or other but it'd just cause me problems and probably be a hassle.
I was a bit gutted cos I'd wanted it done for ages and I was sat on the table ready to have it done and everything.
I was thinking of getting it done somewhere else but I really trust my piercer so I respect him for saying what he thought and not just try and make an extra £35.
Hmm.
im a dreamer I say go for it...you can always take it out if you think its hurting too much
it hurt a few times when i woke up but i had the sore throat paracetolmol which i disolved on my tongue.. was great actually..
:yes: My dentist yelled at me for four years straight
I have played so much with mine while under drugs, I end up having one of my teeth having a mark of the jewerlly, I even had to have it reduce it lenght as it was showing quite badly... Still got 2 in there tho, but aint playing with it so much anymore...
I didn't get a clamp. I got a paper towel...
She put freezy stuff in my mouth and it ran down my face so my face was numb but my tongue wasn't. Didn't hurt that much though...until I stuck my tongue out and sneezed...
Was actually one of the least painful piercings I've had done and it heals pretty quickly.
They held your tongue out with a paper towel? :eek2: I'd of walked right out if they tried that. Dodgy. Thats discustingly unsanitary.
They did indeed.
There was 3 of us getting done. If I'd have walked out I would have got laughed at. My face was already numb anyway
