So for my 16th I really wanna get my tounge pierced. Can anyone tell me like anything about it? If you've had it done, if it hurts etc. I know it swells up for a while, is it only for like a week?

Thanks

i just got it done about 2 & a half weeks ago. i thought it hurt, but everyone else says it didn't hurt for them. the guy said i have really big veins in my tongue, and the needle usually goes through a lot easier & quicker than it did with me, so that's why mine hurt more. mine's also kind of crooked because of my veins. it does swell for about a week but if you take ibuprofin when it starts to swell up it helps keep it down a LOT and it'll help you talk a lot easier. it's veryyy awkward to eat at first and it'll be sore so eat soft things. also DON'T drink beer. it's very very very bad for the piercing at first, they told me if i must drink, drink liquor, but even that's not the best thing for it. use mouthwash 5-10 times every day to keep it clean and you should be fine. it completely heals in about 4 weeks, but after the first week you'll barely even notice it's there anymore. if you have any more questions, inbox me!
