It's totally normal. If you feel like this for more than 4 days, I'd see a doctor.
Besides that, don't eat an solid foods for a while because it'll irritate the piercings. Foods like jello, ice cream & soup are good. And drink a ton of beverages. It'll feel good on your piercing.

If ur still numb and it's been four days you should go see doctor, it could possibly be nerve damage.

I have had my tongue pierced for 9 years now and have had a few ups and downs with it. When it is first pierced it can be numb for up to a week. Everybody heals differently. When mine was first pierced I could barely talk. I remember arguing with my mom that I did not have it pierced but I sounded like a blubbering idiot and gave myself right away. Just make sure you rinse with the solution the piercer gave you. If you run out of this use listerine. Rinse after EVERYTHING you eat or drink, it will cut down the risk of infection if you do this. Make sure to twist the tongue ring at least 3 times a day. It will be sore but this will help the skin to not close around the ring which will hurt a lot more. When you brush your teeth make sure to brush the bottom ball, food will build up on there and it's nasty. You will also almost always get horrible morning breath after having your tongue pierced which is another reason why you want to keep the ring clean or bacteria will build up on it. If it isn't better in 7-10 days after being pierced go back to the place you had it pierced they will be able to help you.

This is normal. When you get your tongue pierced, there is some numbness, swelling, and you usually get a red bubble or bumps around the piercing. That goes for any piercing, other than ears. You may get a "blood bubble" which will be annoying, but all of this is just part of the healing process. Make sure you keep rinsing your mouth out with anti-septic mouthwash 3 times a day, or doing whatever cleaning routine the piercer told you to do. Give it a week, and if it doesn't go away, see a doctor or go back to the place where you got it pierced and ask them.

From my personal experience with it, I would say not normal. I had swelling and it was sore for about a week, but no numbness. Call the professional who did it and ask what you should do.
