What do you think about tongue piercings?

[Mike Cavanaugh]

What do you do for a living? Cause I've been a professional piercer for the last 10 years and have been working in shops for the last 15! I've had over 27 piercings for the last 8 years and none of them secrete any fluid!

Really? I got my ear pierced twice 20 years ago. Safe to say it is "healed"... How bout you come on over and I will take out my earings.. you can then suck on my ear lobe and tell me if you taste or smell anything funny...

Healed skin shouldn't just randomly open up and secrete fluids. Lord, every scar on my body would be oozing.

The tongue is different, it's a big muscle, and even having the post out for some hours, it begins to heal right away.

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....
