I'm not doing it because I think it's "cool" or other people are doing it (there's pretty much nobody at my school with tongue piercings), I'm doing it because I like it and I think I would enjoy having it besides the risk of infections and what not. I wouldn't really care much of what other people would think about it if I did have it. Though, I don't think my mom would want me to have it on if we went somewhere nice and things such as that lol.
