Tongue piercing....

[slinky]

I had my tongue and my belly button done on the same day.

I would say the belly button hurt more than the tongue, but that cos they had to go through my belly button cos I don't have the flappy bit of skin that they usually pierce.

It didn't hurt at all having it pierced, as someone has said, they numb it first so you don't feel it.

It is the most annoying piercing I have ever had done. After 3 days of not being able to eat anything but soup ( I only like oxtail) and mushy weetabix I took it out. I was absolutely starving. I actually took the piercing out in the bridge pub, ran to the kebab shop, ordered shed loads of food, taxi home and stuffed my food so fast I ended up with hiccups for 5 hours afterwards.
The bar they first put in is huge, and it is hard to talk or swallow anything.
I wouldn't say it is painful, just bloody annoying.

I have had my ears done, belly button, bottom lip and tongue and I would say the tongue was the hardest one to cope with.

I want the little flappy bit in my ear done next.

Hope this helped kitty

LOL, I actually don't blame you! It's something I would suggest careful thought about ...... and if you have it done, make sure you feed yourself up for 2 weeks before, cos it's a long time to not be able to eat.
Saying that, once it is taken out, it heals in no time at all, and all services are back to normal

I had my lip stud in for 7 weeks, one night it fell out and I couldn't find the ball. By the time I got to zodiac and home it had healed inside. I had to put ice on the back of my lip and force the bar through...... wow that made my eyes water. About 2 weeks later it happened again and it healed up, so I left the ****** out My holes heal really quickly

It shouldn't have fallen out....maybe the ball was the wrong one for the labret/hoop?I had mine in for a couple of years (each one).

I thing the ball had just come loose from the bar and it fell out. I would have it done again though, just not the tongue one lol.

I have tons of piercings - lip, nose, septum, earl, scaffolding, I used to have another in my nose and one on my chest - in the skin between my boobies :P

Never fancied getting my tongue done, I dont like the thought of it banging on my teeth - it ruins the enamel

It wont hurt as they numb it but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not go to Zodiac - they are useless at piercing - and there aftercare sucks, I know so many people who have had piercings there and go wrong

Hex are good for piercings - Jason has been piercing for nearly 20 years

Earl is through the bridge of the nose and scaffolding is a bar through the top of the ear I think.

As above - Earl is the bit of skin at the top of the nose between your eyes and scaffolding is a long bar that goes from one side of the top of the ear to the other

Wonder why it's called an Earl

I'd never even heard of this but I've just googled and according to wikipedia it is called an Erl or Earl piercing after the first person to have it done, Erl Van Aken.
