sorry, I'm old school, if you want to peirce your tongue go a head, you don't live under my roof.

Well, I am with the others further back and just think tongue piercings are yuck. Mind you could have helped us by saying why the idea had even come to you - would you like to tell us why you are considering it?

[de.press.ed-girlxX]

Well...i would say NO don't do it. i regretted having mine done when i was 9. i became very depressed that my parents got divorced. so i went to get one at the tongue one at the belly, one on the cartilage of my right ear (i have 3 more piercing on my right ear that is not the cartilage), 2 at the left ear and one lower lip piercing. and the one at my tongue swelled. it hurt a lot and i could not eat for days! i was actually thinking of getting a tongue split ( a tongue splitted into half like the snake!) but in the end, the piercer said he don't think i'm ready for that as it is very pain and i am too young. so i had no choice. But, if you get the tongue piercing, your tongue will get wider and you will have some problems while eating and speaking sometimes. well if you really want to have one, think twice before you do it. under the tongue there are many nerves and if the piercer pierced it wrongly who might now what will happen to your tongue or body? well think before you do it. i really regretted doing it. but in the end i decided to let it heal back to it's normal self!

I was a nudist prior to my SCI (I have not yet ventured back into that scene but I'm starting to think about it. We're considering Desire, Riviera Maya or Los Cabos for this fall/winter. I need a vacation!) and I like the ornamentation of diamond jewelry in my ears, nipples, navel and cha-cha. I don't have my tongue pierced, however. I don't think they make diamond jewelry for tongues, but who knows. hehe. Notwithstanding, I would be too scared of the pain. The tongue is a pretty thick piece of flesh. But if YOU want to and YOU like it, that's the most important thing. I wouldn't worry about what other people think. Live your own life and they can live theirs. If you change your mind, you can always remove it. Do make sure you have it done by a professional in an uber-hygenic piercing studio. It should resemble a doctor's office. Surgical gloves should be worn and all tools and jewelry is individually wrapped and used only once. Do some research on the best studios in your city. Lastly, I have NEVER had a problem with ANY of my piercings...except that the doctors had to remove the jewelry when I had my SCI for the MRI. I put everything back in when I was in rehab and feeling a bit better.

The whole bad breath thing argument is just wrong. Bad breath comes from your stomach...unless someone has poor oral hygene and has a rotting piece of meat wrapped around the piece of jewelry! I wore braces for three years as a teenager and they were the old kind with the metal bands that wrap around your teeth and believe me I was extremely conscious of my oral hygene. I brushed and used the stupid tools to clean in and around the braces and rinsed with mouthwash. I would check with my sister before going out and ask, "Do I have bad breath?" So don't listen to that argument.

Further, the whole argument that if 'god' wanted you to have a hole in your tongue... I'd bet that those same people prefer women who have soft, smooth, shaved legs! Well, if 'god' wanted us to have soft, smooth, shaved legs... Don't get me started on the 'god' delusion.

If YOU would like a pierced tongue, get it done.

I know this is an old thread and whoever this person is, has probably already done what they were going to do.
But shit, these are some silly ass questions!
Do what the hell you want.
Tell you why, and what to do with it?? What do I win if I give you the right answer?
Hell yes, DO IT! You'll look hip slick and cool, baby!
Or do you want the best, most creative answer?
All the boys'll want you!
What to do with it?
Improve your fellatio techniques. What else do you want to hear?
Or if I think you should not?
Well shit, I can answer that one too.
It would piss yer Mom off, an' why piss yer Mom off? I mean shit, she did carry yer dumb ass fer
9 frigging months.

I didn't even think of piercing my ear till I turned 50. Now I have a big 00 gauge black ring like a pirate in my left ear and people say it looks really cool. Part of my mid-life crisis. Getting a tattoo soon as I get the cake together. A whole sleave. Biomechanical. h.r.giger type stuff. I'm a guy of extreems.

On second thought.
If you need to take a survey on whether to pierce yer tongue or not.
You sound way to hesitant. DON'T DO IT, YER NOT READY!

Find a productive and positive way to get attention. Poking holes in your face will not fix your real problems, self image.

And you know what else helps oral sex? Someone who knows how to give oral sex.

I personally, do not like tounge piercings. I saw a show on TV once about different piercings, and it said tounge piercings can mess up your teeth and that you sort of have to learn how to talk again.

[sits2much]

I agree with Motor, I had mine pierced after my accident and had two tattoo's after my accident and my doctor told me I may not heal right cause my immune system is not working as proficiently... but I don't listen to him very much and do my own thing and both my tattoo's and piercing went without a hitch. So I say live hard and ask questions later... no be safe but do what you want...

The tongue ring does require you to get use to it though and your speak will be kinda strange at first, you might sound like you have a lisp for a few but it goes away... just adjust your ball size if you can't get to talking normally after a while..

[longhaul]

Go for it use a 10 penny nail or a railroad spike, just kidding unless that's your thing. Hey if it makes you happy go for it you can always stop wearing it hey get one with an eye ball on it or one with a little......................I better stop now.

[gustifer]

I had mine done a while back. I have to admit, it was fun to play with. Especially for you gum chewing, lip smacking, bubble blowers ...and/or you kinky types (guilty ) Well, they are fun . Anyways, after 8 years, a few painful chips off the teeth, a few dental bills, and well, a few more painful chips and and a few more dental bills, I finally let it go. I guess I just never found the right size (if you consider wearing all the wierd, colorful, extravagant, spikes, jems, troll dolls, ticklers, thin bars, thick bars, smalls, and big balls actually trying to fit for the right size).

Only the 1st few weeks kinda sucks then feels better but gets taking used to. Try it if you feel you want to but just be careful of the tongue during the 1st month then watch the teeth the rest of the time. At least, that's my experience. I'd get it back if I could, but I don't know if I could handle the numb tongue for those 1st few weeks again.

[4estGimp]

I enjoyed mine actually. It didn't really hurt to have it done either. First, take Aleve or some other NSAID before having the piercing. Then have a large amount of crushed ice on hand for afterwards. Have a lot of the ice for a few days and you'll be fine. Be CAREFUL with your first hot drink. That was one surprise that really lit me up. Anyway, the ONLY reason I removed mine is that I'm now in a management position which will give some contact with the VP and owner of my company.

Do what you feel is right for you. Don't let others make the decision.

I have my tongue pierced twice and have had no problems, no infections, my tongue barely swelled and even if it did it goes within 2 weeks. I love them!

[blckchns]

This poll is so old, lol!

[Slowlegs]

Each to their own. I dislike them as I can't see the point of what is in my personal opinion, mutilation although if you are comfortable with it, then go for it. Tongue piercings can damage the enamel on your teeth and are great for training you to have a speech impediment. I was at a local supermarket a few years back and the checkout girl had a nose piercing. It was obviously infected as she was picking at it, pushing her fingernail underneath it, then touching my groceries and her nose was swelling around it like a big fat zit. DISGUSTING! I did hear a few years back that tattoos are for people who are searching for some sort of an identity, maybe it is the same with piercings and could be why you need to ask the opinion of others? If you want it, get it but for me that is a no thanks. I prefer to keep my surgical stainless on the inside where in my opinion it belongs.

[pistol_pete]

this poll was started 2 years ago. Do ya reckon they're still deliberating the pro's and con's?
I wonder if they did it or not.

Actually, I don't.......I couldn't really give a shit.

[carole338]

NO... Just what you need, another hole in your head.

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.

True!
That's NO for me but it's your life, go ahead knock yourself out!
