i had my tongue pierced on sunday as a kinda bday prezzie 2 myself, and it was fine, didnt swell, or hardly hurt, but, i went out last nite and got a bit tipsy, snogged this bloke(u aint suppost 2 have contact, kiss, 4 4 wks!) and i woke up 2 day and its throbbing like mad, and a bit swolled, and also theres a little lump on the top just infront of it.
im worried that the lump wont go, i know its early days but i dont wanna have 2 take it out.
does n e 1 have there tongue pierced and experience pain days l8r, and swelling?
(the kissin was damn good though!!!)

The lump is probably due to adjetation from the night out and will go down by itself, wounds take a few weeks to heal completly and the tissue will be tender and weak within that time, I'd recommend swirling/garggling with salty water once a night to keep the piercing clean and infection free...
You can always go back and speak with the piercist, most places offer advice and after-care, just go and explain your concern, if the lump is worrying you after a while you could always still go to your GP, better safe than sorry... <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Happy Kissing...
I had mine done ages ago and it was swollen and sore for about a week after I had it done. Dont worry about it honey <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif">
im still in pain, and its slightly worse, but it may b due 2 the fact i talk alot and fiddle with it in my mouth, but ive bin takin nurofen which is keepin the swellin down. a min ago i tried 2 change the bar(i know its a few days early), cause its 2 big, but now i cant undo the bloody ball, god help me, i think i shud never of had it done, 2 much hassle. and the hole at the top is twice the size it was.
cheers again love Helly
Then I went out and got really pissed and at some point in the evening the ball came loose and fell off. I had to take the bar out and couldn't get it back in again in the morning.
I've never been bothered to get it done again.
I wish I never saw the sunshine,
Cos if I never saw the sunshine,
Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain.

I can't be blamed! I was merely passing tales of woe from my no longer pierced life.
