I've had my tongue pierced before, and I, myself, am also not great with pain.
I was terrifed but it literally lasts about 1 second to get it done. You lay down on the table, you wash your mouth out with listerine and stick your tongue out. The person piercing it will tell you to take one breath in, and at that moment will stick the needle straight through and then the barbell. It is extremely quick and you only feel a pinch for that one second, not even a bad one!
Getting it pierced was not the painful part at all. The aftermath was. I literally could not talk for a few days. I was so swollen and in pain that I couldn't even talk in school back then because of it. I was slurring my words and you couldn't even understand me. The best thing is to wash your mouth with listerine AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! ..after doing everything: eating, drinking, smoking if you smoke. It is very important that you care for it properly, as it can get very easily infected.

I've never gotten my tongue pierced so I don't know what it feels like, but my brother got his done about 4 years ago so I know about some of it.
Usually when you get your tongue pierced, you can't eat solid foods until the swelling goes down. This includes chips and pizza and other things. It'll irritate the wound (which is what a piercing is) and can get infected if you do what you're not supposed to. Foods they usually allow are soups, jello, pudding, and ice cream. As far as beverages go, you should be drinking a lot of water when you get it done as things like alcohol & soda will also irritate it.
I'm not trying to scare you either, but tongue piercings tend to be the most dangerous of piercings. Your tongue is full of very sensitive nerves, and if the piercer hits one, it could damage you tremendously to the point of having no taste buds or feeling in your tongue. You really need to be careful about this.
