    You have to be 18, or have parental consent for piercings, my daughter had her nose pierced when she was 15.

    Re: What do you think about tongue piercings?

    My daughter had her's done a few years because she thought it was cool. She was over 18 at the time.

    It stayed in her mouth for about 3 months then she removed it. She didn't like the way it was always hitting her teeth, she felt like she could never get it clean enough, and a few other reasons I forget.

    Here in Florida you have to be 18 or have parental permission. I did a quick search of the State of Arizona laws and found similar restrictions. Here is a quote from Arizona state law:

    "13-3721. Tattoos, brands, scarifications and piercings; minors; anesthesia; exception; defense; violation; classification; definitions

    A. It is unlawful for a person:

    1. To intentionally brand, scarify, implant, mutilate, tattoo or pierce the body of a person who is under eighteen years of age without the physical presence of the parent or legal guardian of the person requesting the brand, scar, tattoo, implant, mutilation or piercing. . . ."

    Re: What do you think about tongue piercings?

    You will not be able to get your tongue pierced at 14. Your parent would have to take you with viable IDs and such.
    You need to be 18 to get it done without a parent. Some shops here won't even touch you if your under 16, even with a parent.

    I want to get mine done, but I probably won't. I have no fear of piercings on my face or ears, but my tongue worries me with the pain.
    It really really takes a lot of care that you really shouldn't have to be burdened with at 14. For a few months you won't be able to eat much other than applesauce and broth, and if it gets infected it won't be fun. I don't recommend you get it at your age, just because your still young and should probably consider it at an older age. Your dentist would not be happy with you or your parents either if you got it done.

    I might get my eyebrow sometime soon though. The only facial piercing that looks good on me. Consider getting your nose done or something smaller like that.

    Also, getting a tongue piercing may make boys look at you differently, and not in a good way.

    Re: What do you think about tongue piercings?

    I'm not even going to all the posts, because i'm almost sure that a lot of these posts have no knowledge to back anything up, I hang out at a local tattoo shop that I know the 2 brothers that own it, I see an average of 10 people a day or so get their tongue pierced.

    As far as age goes, 16 & 17 with parents permission(they have to be there), though some shops won't even do 16 & 17 because parents are saying that they're signature was forged and it's bringing up a whole new issue. Once your 18 you can do it yourself legally though.

    As far as pain, some people it hurts, some people don't even feel it. I've seen some people almost cry before getting it done, then saying, when are you going to do it? Then comes the reply it's already done. On the other hand i've seen one girl get her tongue pierced didn't hurt her at all, she got up, took 2 steps then passed out face first. I've seen some people that cry about the clamps, and others that say it hurt a little bit.

    The downsides to getting your tongue pierced is that a lot of people that do it, run it along the inside of their teeth and after time it will start to chip. Also your tongue sometimes swells up, depending on the person again.

    I on the other hand got my nipples pierced, I find it didn't hurt at all. The guy that got his done after me passed out while getting them done. To each it's own. Everybody is different with differnt pain tolerances.

    Hope my post helps you decide.

    p.s.
    Oh and if you're going to get your tongue pierced, do it for yourself, not for somebody else, or for the wrong reasons(because of some guys, not all)

    You can eat normal foods within a few days of having your tongue pierced. The swelling (if taken care of properly) usually goes down in under a week and it's fully healed in under 2 months.

    I will also add that when I was a single man, it was a TOTAL turnoff to me and my little group of friends. If you had one, we wouldn't talk to you.

    Just like any piercing it can periodically become an open wound... causing discharge of blood and other stuff. combine that and a french kiss and you are literally eating whatever disease the chick might have...

    To be honest any piercing of the body is stupid in my opinion.
