Nope. Once in, food becomes difficult to chew. Piercing area must be cleaned. All in all a real hassle.

i think that you should really consider it for some time if you are in two minds about it.
i've had my for 14 years, after having it done my tounge became twice its size than it normally was for a week but i could eat soup and soft bread but my tounge did go down but you will talk funny until it does. as for keeping it clean the only thing you can do is wash your mouth out with salt in cooled boiled water. DON'T use any mouth wash with antiseptic in it as it will try to close the whole and can be painfull. you would be suprised how fast your tounge heals.
all i can say is really think about it.
take care

As a doctor I strongly advise against a pierced tongue as you are leaving yourself wide open to all sorts of mouth infections. However, if you want to go ahead, nobody can stop you. Just be aware of all the pitfalls.

Personally, I find body piercings ugly things and cannot see the sense. Ear-rings are different. However, the number of mount infections and naval infections I have seen would shock you. I wont tell the tales here.
ALWAYS REMEMBER - The darkest hour is only 60 minutes long and what won't kill you will make you stronger.

I think you should, if you don’t like it you can take it out and the hole will close up (the tongue always will) its not hard to keep clean (mouth wash 3 times a day) as for the hard eating that will not last that long at all maybe a week. (For me it was only two days, my dad was two weeks) but if you plan on getting in any kind of career its not professional at all.

Goodness. It seems that this is really looked down upon, huh I got my tongue pierced about a year and a half ago....kind of a spur of the moment thing. I got it done on a Tuesday. My tongue didn't swell at all. No one even noticed. I finally had to tell my then husband on Saturday that I got it done. No one really notices it to this day except when I stick out my tongue. I don't have bad breath, I don't rinse with mouthwash 3 times a day. I do make sure I brush my jewelry when I brush my teeth though. It is really a personal decision. Some people play with thier jewelry and it is really distracting and unattractive. If your partner likes it then why not? If you decide you don't like it, it won't take long to close.

I have had mine done for 6 years, and dated 2 men that had it as well. I have had no problem with it, and I didn't lisp, no one knows til I forget and stick out my tongue. it has never affect my ability to become employed, maybe its just odds.... some people can color their hair jet black and look good, some look like death... its a pref.... and again, if you have any probs take the bloody thing out!

Of all the words, of tongue or pen, the saddest, are these: "what might have been".

That pretty much says it all. It's a personal choice, thus I didn't vote. If i was thinking of doing it, I wouldn't ask random people on a message board over the internet as I could be asking a group that is 90% extremely against such things. If your think you want it, then do it, give it a chance, see how it effects you, if you then decide you don't care for it get rid of it. Personally I don't care for pierced tongues, but the naval ones are pretty sexy as are nipples and on some people a pierced eye brow is pretty cool looking.

Some one said you only have 1 tongue, and your right, but you also only have 1 life, live it how you want and not how others want.

If you want to, go for it. But be aware of the dangers, not anything related to the SCI, but I have heard a few horror stories about tongue piercings. I wanted to get a piercing recently but was too scared to get my tongue done, and my ears are already pierced so I went ahead and got my nose pierced. It can be a pain when my carers are helping me get dressed in the morning, but I love it and I know that I can take it out anytime I want. I'm just too scared to go near cartilage or the tongue.

(MY THIRD POST)...cunnilingus is ant art (truly). firstly, she has to be in the mood, and relaxed enough for you to go downtown and make a difference. once shes in that tranquil state it's up to you.

(my technique foreplay)...lol, i go for the out an in approach. he more turned on your lady is, the easier and faster she will cum. you have to kiss, lick, nibble, and suck on all of the usually untouched areas...back of the knees, inner thighs, toes, etc...AND to send her over the top with teasing excitement, suck and lick right outside the outer labia...the rest is as follows above (minus my "trade secrets).

i know it's kinda graphic, but im a newbie thus,i i aint got nothing to lose...and its true!

lol...spell check!

Whether is it true or not when I see a tongue ring I think that is someone who loves to suck cock. If you are a single chick I would think you would be someone who puts out easy. If I saw a dude with a tongue ring I would think gay cock sucker.



Not all but most people who have these piercing play with them constantly. Clicking it on their teeth, and generally making weird jaw movements all the time. Annoys me to death when I see that.

Hello :cheers:

If you want to, go ahead. Personally I think you should, :yahoo: but that’s me, I find piercing :specool: erotic :clap: . However, some people don’t like it :nono: .

If you’re planning to have your tongue pierced, go ahead :cheers: , it doesn’t hurt. The only thing is that if you eat for the next 3 days, the movement of the tongue will feel uncomfortable.

In my opinion you should go for it :specool: .

By the way, if later you don’t like it (or want it), just stop wearing the tongue ring, the hole will close.

:specool: Most people I know who had it done chipped pieces out of their teeth. Are you willing to take the chance of destroying your teeth and the huge dental bills? Also are you physically able to clean all around it well to make sure it don't get infected? And how will it affect your swallowing? I'm a c6 complete and I know sometimes I just start choking on nothing but saliva. You should really think about that before getting it done. You will also have to gargle salt water. And I also think you should really think about it because clearly you are unsure or you wouldn't have came here asking if you should or not. Why are you thinking about getting it done?

If you want it, who cares what other people think. I bet it's not going to feel that good. I have 3 holes in each ear, my belly button, had both nipples done, but the paramedics that life flighted me pulled those out. Then the holes closed up while I was in the hospital. I also have 2 tattoos. Pain doesn't really bother me, but the tongues gotta hurt.

Well,i know when i was an AB,i loved when a woman had a pierced tongue. It drove me crazy and man i was loud lol.

Since you're a guy,i don't know. What does your lady think about it? You should make the final decision with her. I know it stimulated me but the penis and clit are different. I haven't heard a lot about it being bad.

You have to think about these things when it comes to pleasing her with your tongue.

1. Is she sensitive down there
2. Will it add or lessen to her being stimulated
3. If she's not sensitive,will it add to her sensation.

I haven't read all the replies but its very common,so as long as you are willing to take care of it,why not.

I'd say if you want to get it done then do it! As far as bad breath tongue swelling...never met a person with a tongue piercing who had those issues. If you get it done make sure to get it done from a professional and from there just take great care of it and you'll be fine. If you are thinking of getting one for sexual purposes...from my personal experience it really doesn't make much of a difference. You should just focus on practicing...cause practice makes perfect! :cheers:

I don't understand anyone with self mutilation, including pierced ears. Why spoil something perfect? Beats me.
Do what you like. It's your tongue, your life.
