I wouldn't know how a tounge piercing feels, but my brother got his done, as did my cousin who's the same age as me.
When my brother got his done, he couldn't eat solid food [chicken, french fries, etc] for about a week or two. So the most he could eat was soup, ice cream, or Jell-O, and he said that drinking things worked too. My brother said it didn't hurt at all.
When my cousin got her's done, she drooled a lot. And said that it didn't hurt when she actually got it done, but when the process was over & done with.
After you get the piercing, your tounge will be swollen, and it'll be diffucult to talk, and you'll sound funny, but the piercing should be fine.
As for the pain, it's different for everyone. It hurts for some [like my cousin], but not for others [like my brother]. So what hurts to you, might not hurt to someone else.
Whoever told you that you couldn't eat dairy products might want to learn what they're talking about, or rethink it.
It might require a lot of maintenance due to the simple fact that to clean it you need to use mouthwash. Where I live, they want you to use the Yellow Listerine instead of any of the others because they said that that bottle is better for the healing process.
Some guys like it, and some guys don't. I personally think it's trashy, but I don't care if people get it done. It's their decision, their tounge & their sacrificed food.
Make sure that when you get this piercing done, they open everything in front of you, and let you know everything. Such as what they're going to do, how it's done, how to clean & take care of it, and what to eat & what not to eat. If they don't do that, or already have their needles out, walk out & find yourself another place because they might be dirty & give you an infection or a disease. Also, be careful with this piercing because there are a lot of nerves that you cannot see & if they were to hit one of these nerves while piercing you, you wouldn't be able to feel your tounge, tell the difference between hot & cold, or taste again. So please, please be careful. And good luck!

Tongue piercings take 4-6 weeks to heal so you do need to be careful about the kind of foods you consume during that time. The link I'm giving you below answers a majority of frequently asked questions about them and piercings in general including maintence, cleaning/changing jewelery etc. better than I can.
Does it hurt? I haven't had it done but I know the wort part is fear going in. The peircing takes a moment and is over. It all depends on how you handle pain in general. If you have a low pain tolerance it may hurt a lot if you can take a small amount of pain for 30 seconds you'll make it as the needle goes in and boom it's out.
What you have to know and remember is that once it's done you have an open wound in your mouth and have to be cautious. Your biggest concern is migration and rejection of jewelery. The link will explain all about it.
Once you get the piercing done keep the piercer's card as they'll help with any questions afterward. Also they will give you a list of things you must do to take care of your piercing. Do guys like it? it depends, some do and some don't. A lot of them do from what I've seen.
