Exquisitechick answered Sunday July 16 2006, 11:59 pm: Many people wish to get their tongues pierced but feel they are prevented by the negative reactions they may get from their employers. This can be solved by having your tongue pierced by a barbell painted with flesh coloured nail polish as this is less likely to be seen. For extra precaution after it's healed you can wear a labret stud or tongue retainer (flat on top) painted with flesh coloured nail polish. Once it's healed you can change the jewellery yourself, so you can wear one to hide the piercing from your boss (and relatives!), and one to impress your friends at night.
SeXyLaCi_XoX answered Wednesday June 30 2004, 4:32 pm: I got my tongue pierced! I'm only 17 and I used a fake ID. My parents would kill me if they found out. I got mine done in April and so far they havent seen it. Just when I talk to them I try not to open my mouth up really wide. I didn't think gettin it pierced hurt. Once it was through I was like holy shit thats it? it just felt like pressure. Maybe it didn't hurt as much because I was expectign this pain that is unbearable. My belly button hurt worse gettin it pierced.
Hope this helped! I'll be glad to answer any other questions!
MissJ1414 answered Thursday June 3 2004, 1:33 pm: I don't think it hurts if you do it right. If your want to hind it from her then you need to tell her your going somewhere for a few days because you can't talk after getting it done. [ MissJ1414's advice column | Ask MissJ1414 A Question ]
behind_gr33n_eyes answered Monday May 31 2004, 5:35 pm: i don't think you should because alot of ppl end up taking them out anyways. also because they can get infected. i heard about a girl on the news that got it done and it hit a vein or something, she almost died. i would definitley not get it done, but that is my opinion. there is no way you could hide it from her either, most parents find out EVERYTHING sooner or later anyhow.

chanamolet answered Sunday May 16 2004, 3:31 pm: I KNOW YOU ARE YOUNG AND JUST TRYING TO DO WHAT YOUR PEERS AND YOURSELF THING IS THE "IN" THING TO DO RIGHT NOW, BUT I WANT YOU TO SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT WHAT A TONGUE RING WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT 40 OR 50 YEARS OLD. WHAT IF YOU GET A REALLY GOOD JOB THAT PAYS BIG DOLLARS IN A HIGH-PROFILE COMPANY, DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD LOOK PROFESSIONAL. MY SISTER HAD HER TONGUE PIERECED AND SHE SAID THAT IT HURT REALLY BAD, AND GUESS WHAT, SHE NOW WORKS IN A SCHOOL AND CAN'T EVEN WEAR THE DARN THING BECAUSE OF HER JOB. I WANT YOU TO REALLY THINK ABOUT WHY YOU WANT THIS TONGUE RING. [ chanamolet's advice column | Ask chanamolet A Question ]
takingfive answered Saturday May 8 2004, 8:23 pm: If you really want to get your tongue pierced, I think the best way to go about hiding things from your mother is to get a large tattoo on your forehead. That way, she will be so shocked and appalled at the tattoo that she'll never even think that you got your tongue pierced, too. [ takingfive's advice column | Ask takingfive A Question ]
brittany answered Thursday May 6 2004, 9:09 pm: Do you really wan't to get it , or do all your friends have it. If you do get it what good comes out. You're mom will kill you, it'll hurt, you won;t be able to eat because it'll get in your way, and so much more. My advise DON'T GET IT DONE. bye..........

exzentriker answered Thursday May 6 2004, 6:03 pm: To be honest, Yes. It will hurt badly. Im pretty sure that your tongue is a solid musle with a thin layer of skin on it. If you dont like shots, getting a tongue piercing will hurt MUCH worse. Plus the fact that its very easy to get a blood infection with a bellybutton/tongue piercing. It would be much safer to instead get a false tongue ring, or maybe just not get one altogether. [ exzentriker's advice column | Ask exzentriker A Question ]
Netherai answered Thursday May 6 2004, 3:16 pm: Yes it's going to hurt, you're having a needle stuck through your tongue after all. The good news is, it doesn't hurt really bad, usually just stays sore for about a week. As far as trying to hide it from your mother, that's not a very good idea. Yes you are 19 and legally an adult, but wanting to hide it from her (instead of sitting down and explaining to her why you would want it done, and showing that you know all the risks involved), shows a certain level of immaturity. After sitting down with my mother and explaining my "unique" sense style to her, and the reasons for it, I was lucky enough to be met with much understanding. The same may work for you, at least try to sit down and discuss it with her first. And if/when you do go to get the deed done, go get a slurpee afterwards! Trust me, it's really great for the pain.

wantzluv83 answered Thursday May 6 2004, 11:23 am: Ok since everyone said stuff about your mom and how you should act like an adult and what not I am going to tell you when you first get your tongue pierced it does not hurt but within a couple of hours your tongue will be huge! You will only be able to eat soft foods like apple sauce and only be able to drink juices. This you will have to do for about a month. YES I SAID A MONTH! I have had my tongue pierced and it was not the greatest experience. There is alot you need to learn about before you go. You need to find a good place to go, check to see if you might be allergic to metals (I found out that I am by putting that bar in my mouth), and find out the risks you are taking. It is your choice if you do it or not. Just make sure you are prepared before doing it! Good luck! [ wantzluv83's advice column | Ask wantzluv83 A Question ]
friend2all answered Thursday May 6 2004, 7:32 am: its time to be an adult ur 19! Explain to ur mum that u want to get it done. Do some reseach to see what happens if it gets infected ur mum will release that u are being senable. If u want it dont go to a gd body shop make sure there put a clean needle in. Dont go 4 the cheap way the more money it costs the safer the place takes on doing it. They num it with an ice cube then do it. It will hurt but not 4 long
Here-To-Help answered Wednesday May 5 2004, 8:42 pm: If your mom will seriously kick you out of the house, then I wouldn't do it...I'd wait until you move out.
But then again, if you KNOW FOR A FACT that she won't kick you out (and she's not just saying that)then I'd go for it. You're 19...you're an adult...you can very well pierce your your tounge without permission and without a problem...
BUT...if it risks you MAYBE being kicked out of the house for sure (and you can't afford that I'm assuming by the way you said in the question)then just wait...
GC_rox_my_sox answered Wednesday May 5 2004, 7:50 pm: You really shouldn't get your tongue pierced. If they pierce the wrong vein, you will bleed to death. Yes, I have heard that it hurts to get your tongure pierced. And is it really worth doing if your going to get kicked out of the house? You really can't hide it either, because if you take it out the hole will close in a few hours, and your tongue is swollen and you talk funny, so she would figure it out anyway.

Shane_Yoho answered Wednesday May 5 2004, 6:32 pm: I pusonally don't think you should because it does hurt and its bad for your teeth as for your parents if you don't want to get caught and get in trouble don't do it. [ Shane_Yoho's advice column | Ask Shane_Yoho A Question ]
jbdreamer answered Wednesday May 5 2004, 5:36 pm: I know a few people who have gotten their tongue pierced, including my sister. They all claim that surprisingly it really doesn't hurt that much. When my sister got her tongue pierced, it took a month before my dad realized. Your 19 and old enough that if you want a piercing you are perfectly allowed to go get one. And what kind of mother would kick their own child out into the street because they got a piercing? I think your overreacting. She may get mad, but tough luck, she'll get over it. You're an adult now and it is time she realizes it. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
