What do you think about tongue piercings?

[Neal]

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)
