What do you think about tongue piercings?

don't know if it's been said, but the biggest risk is your teeth and gums being damaged by the piece itself... i know several people that have taken theirs out after chipped teeth, eroding gums, etc

I thought about getting one before, its not at the top of my list though.
i wouldnt mind getting one. for FREE... lol

your to young. Im pretty sure all tattoo/ piercing places only let you do it if your 16 with parents permission. Well thats how it is with tattoos. Im assuming its the same with piercings but might not be. Go find some where and ask! Your kinda young for a tongue piercing no? :8:

I just got ME ear done a few months ago. need to get a bigger gauge now. im at 12... next i want my bottom lip in the middle, idk after that. maby eyebrow. im not sure if i wanna get both ears pierced...

BUT, if you want it and it fits you, go for it!!!

There is no point. To any piercings or tattoos.The point is what ever the person getting it done wants it to be. Its not for OTHER people. Its for their selves (themselves idk...). So its probably a good thing that you dont see a point in it :gj:

hm... so your tongue piercing is fully healed to the point where it can not secrete fluids? But yet at the same time it mysteriously starts to "heal" and close up right away when the post is removed??? How does that work exactly?

Maybe the piercing expert can help answer this.... :explosion

Im no piercing expert but i could tell you...

Maby you should do this thing called CLEANING your ear piercing... :confused:
bet you didnt think of that one...

secondly my ear is healed. Idk about tongues but other piercings will NOT close up automatically it takes time depending on how big of a hole there is. Thats not even counting cartilage.

Mike, to your stinky ear, Sebum is secreted everywhere in the body, not just old piercings. The sebaceous gland produces some stinky stuff.

LMAO!!! Thanks pat. :partyon:

Dunno about the tongue, but I had a belly button piercing for about a year. Cleaned that thing religiously. Yet, it never healed. I just took it off one day & never put it back on. Now the 2nd ear lobe hole healed very nicely. I would definitely never get my tongue pierced, though. Seems like too much of a hassle.

I love tongue piercings! My husband just got his redone a few days ago and I hope to get mine done this fall. :)

I think they're great I've had mine for 6 years now and haven't had any problems with it!:D
