What do you think about tongue piercings?

[N4S]

Most of the people I know think that guys that have them are gay.

I used to have it done like ten years ago but havent had it in for the longest time. 9 years maybe.

You mean they're NOT?

I thought it was one of the signs. You know, like the rainbow shorts and Richard Simmons perms.

Well, just goes to show, if you're not careful you can learn something everyday.

thats why they have the plastic ones to prevent this

The plastic ones will still cause damage, as anything pressed against your teeth will! I used a plastic barbell for much of the time I had mine pierced, and I'm still paying for the repairs to my teeth/gums.

My sister got her tongue pierced when she was 18, I was 10. When the swelling finally went down, it looked awesome. I spent the next 6-7 years wanting one. Once I turned 18 my BF had convinced me to not get it done, because it's pretty hard to get a job if you have any kind of piercing in your face. Oh, and aside from the whole tooth chipping and how they effect your gums, sometimes the balls can twist off and you'll end up swallowing them. I think my sister went through 10+, I can't remember how long she had it in for.

I've heard that eyebrows hurt the worst, and nose piercings get pretty icky. Overall, if you plan on getting a job, don't get a piercing anywhere on your face other than ears. If you just want to go to college and have fun, do what you want... But after you've spent alot of time thinking about it.

I've had mine done twice everybody told me that the second time would hurt worst but it didn't. Make sure you select a good place to do it and most certainly get your parents permission if my daughter came home and had that done with out asking i would be really madd.

Well, I would NEVER do it. Mainly, because I have no interest. Even if I did I wouldn't do it since I am scared crapless of needles.

It's just a hollow needle that takes a chunk of your tongue out, not bad at all. LOL.

ME TOO. I cant stand needles. But, i got my ear pierced at a 14 gauge. The lady didnt let me see the needle before, which is probably a good thing
Its not bad at all though. The actual piercing didnt even hurt but like 10 minutes after it starts to burn a bit.

Doesn't take any "chunks" out at all. It's a hollow needle that cuts a "C" shaped crescent in the skin.

Larger gauge needles (usually 6gauge and up) will take some skin out.
