First of all ewwwwww.\n\nSelf mutilation may be popular right now, but piercings will not help your looks as you age. You're going to get wrinkles and now your adding holes too?

it helps...kinda like when you have a canker (sp?) sore on your gums. i pierced my own tongue...ice cubes and slurpies will be very soothing if you have swelling. if it's still painful after a day or two, use some sore throat spray...it will really help, and it's anti-septic. careful not to chomp down on any teeth!!! i've broken a porcelain crown and chipped another tooth, and my tongue has been pierced for 5 years. hope this was helpful...i hope you don't have much swelling or pain.

It's not really that exciting of a piercing, and depending on your ta-ta's size, you may not have a choice as to what kind of ring you put in it. I have large ones, so I had posts similar to those used in the tongue. Plus, because something is always rubbing against it, it gets infected easily. I would not recommend it. I had to take mine out for surgery, and I really didn't miss them.\nI also had a below the belt piercing, and those are hot, but if you are pierced to close to a nerve you get that pain-pleasure thing, which isn't always nice. Good luck!

Take a rubber band, wind it up real good with a toothbrush in the middle and let it go on your tongue as a tounge cleaner.

Yes, tongue piercings can be done with steel, but only 316LVM or higher grade surgical stainless steel. Any lower grade steel should not be used under any circumstances.

suck on it before/during giving oral pleasures, especially nice with pierced tongue.

Just fold your tounge back with two fingers, one at each side of your mouth. Then blow. Very simple to do.

Take pictures of it and post daily so we can evaluate it. We'll let you know what steps to take!\n\nKidding (maybe)...they should have told you how to care for it where you got it pierced. Unless you did it yourself. Yikes. Maybe you should see a doctor.

1. Touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue, right where the roof curves up behind your teeth.\n2. Leave it arched in that direction, but take it off of the roof. (So it isnt touching)\n3. Then strongly exhale through your mouth.\n\nKeep practicing!

Movies make out that the tounge is stuck for good.  A couple examples: "A Christmas Story," and, "Dumb and Dumber."  But you just need to exhale heavily and the tounge tip is defrosted.  It still isn't good for the tounge so it is unadvisable.

You cant really numb it. Its so quick that I dont think you have anything to worry about.As a piercer, I dont think people find it one of the most painful piercings.Most people say that the clamp hurts the worst, and that only feels like a little pinch.But everybody's pain tolarance is unique. \nThe only numbing cream that is available cant be used near the mouth.(so its ok for ears,nipples and navels-but not oral stuff)\nHeres a tip. When you get pierced, they should tell you to rinse your mouth out with an alcoholic based mouthwash, If you do it for a long time ( like 2 minuites) most people say it numbs the inside of their mouth.

Like any piercing, it can be dangerous if the place you get it done at is not sterile. Some complications besides infection from an insterile needle include: \n\n1. Chipped or Broken Front Teeth \nThe majority of patients we see with tongue barbells wind up with chips, cracks or fractures in their front teeth. These have to be repaired with fillings or crowns.\n\n\n2. Gum Surgery \n\nWe've had to refer patients to periodontists for surgical correction of damage caused by rubbing tongue barbells.\n\n3. It can go down the wrong way. \nThe barbell can come un-screwed and wind up in a lung.\n\n\nApparently there are cases of people DYING (http://www.drhendry.ca/InfoAndLinks/TonguePiercing/Piercing.html) <---shows some pretty gross pictures, beware. \n\nAnyways, I would imagine most of these are extreme cases. In my opinion, it isn't really worth the risk! Your heath is most important!

It is the least painful piercing you can get, for what that is worth. It will swell moderately for a few days and be sore. Eating may be painful until the swelling and sensitivity go down. You may need to re-learn how to eat certain foods. You also have to be very careful of infection for the first few weeks, when you eat, food can become lodged in the hole and if it stays can get pretty nasty. Also, don't buy metal barbells until you are very accustomed to your piercing. For some time you will have a tendency to accidentally bite on the bar and if you have metal ends and not plastic you can chip your teeth. Also, body jewelry is expensive so expect to spend some money if you swallow your jewelry (which can happen often if you do not occasionally check that the ball is snugly screwed on). Your sensitivity to hot and cold may increase temporarily. As for sex, be careful...that's all I'll say about that.\n\nMost importantly: ONLY BE PIERCED BY A PROFESSIONAL. There is a large vein which runs through the center of the tounge and if this is hit you will bleed for a freakishly long time.

I have it done, and I can tell you that it is EXTREMELY easy to get off....but it is not the same for everyone.  If you are considering getting pierced, you should definitely make sure you go to a safe, reputable piercing facility with highly experienced professionals no matter what piercing you get.  And remember that no matter what you are having done there are always risks as well as benefits!

The piercer does it so quick that you dont have time to even think about it... It will get a little sore afterwards, especially the day after, but actually getting it done, doesnt.

Well first of all, careful when you're playing with it. I got mine pierced and immediately started playing with it. I ended up ripping the pierce causing me immense pain for the week it took to heal. You can't really fix the hole unless you get a smaller gauge and then stop yourself from playing with it. The other person is right though. A metal barbell can leave miniscule cracks in your teeth causing them to rot. I have actually chipped one of my teeth with my tongue ring. For that reason I would recommend at least get a barbell with plastic capture beads. They also have ones with plastic barbells, but i found myself playing with that more than my metal one. My dentist even told me that the plastic ones are better, they do less damage to your teeth. Your other option is get a bigger gauge. Say you have a 14, see if you can use a 12. You should wait for a while before you try to do that, but it will make the bigger hole less noticeable. Of course, if you play with it and stretch it out....well I'm sure you know where I'm going with that. Hope this helps!

Very carefully with tweezers.  Make sure you clean them with alcohol or peroxide.  The tweers will pull it right out.
