Written By: QueenAmenRa on 03/22/03 at 01:57 p.m.

i don't have my tongue pierced, so i'm really of no help.  are you considering a standard piercing, or a web piercing?

It's like pulling the working edge of a straight razor across the working edge of your eyeball, then pouring a handful of salt into it before passing out from the pain.   :)

But, why ?

For the shock value ?

To annoy your parents ?

To increase the risk of infection in an area that already has enough to deal with ?

To alienate half or your prospective suitors ?

???

Dont do it.  I had mine done and it sucks when you get food stuck in it and it starts to smell real bad.  It causes bad breath and its no fun sexually despite the rumours you have heard.  Plus, it's really not that cool anymore.

EWWWWW Steve. Do you have to be so graphic. http://www.clicksmilie.de/sammlung/sprachlos/speechless-smiley-002.gif


I don't think you should do it Queen for many reasons. But it is your decision. I think that if you do it, you may regret it.

As a guy I can tell you I don't find it attractive or see it as an advantage towards anything sexual.  Now adorn your belly button and show it off, that's sexy. :o

Written By: VirtuosoClaptrap on 03/23/03 at 06:37 a.m.

I have to agree with all of the above

It is neither attractive nor sexy.

From a recipient's point of view, it is not enjoyable when kissing or used on anything else.  :-X

Oh don't get me wrong, it was a novelty the first time, but you only have to have one accident with it and OUCH for both parties  :'(

Please don't....

I've had mine in for a good 5 years now and mostly forget it's there. When I had it done, there was a stab not unlike having an ear done, but that was it as far as the pain went. However it was followed by 5 days of not really being able to speak because your tongue will swell, you can't eat solids for a few days and I physically couldn't swallow for the first day - much unpleasant drooling.

I keep mine because it's no trouble to have in and I'm used to it now.  As people have said above, there's no real shock/alternative value to them any more and they're a bit of a mid-90s thing.

I also had mine done in one of the best piercing studios in England (Perforations, in Brighton). The waiting room was foul, but the studio itself would have done credit to a hospital ward - the needles were vacuum-sealed, the guy wore gloves etc. My stud is also surgical-grade steel, which cuts down on infection chances. I don't know what the law is in your part of the world re: body piercing, but it's important to find a decent place to have these things done.

That said, tongue piercings are a bit old, not really alternative any more, and there are nicer parts of you to have done.

Honey...I just have to say don't do it!  My little sis wanted her eyebrow pierced and the dude wouldn't even do it....said she was too pretty to scar herself like that.  So just remember, you are too pretty to do something like that.  Find other ways to explore you 'specialness'.....besides you love to sing and you don't want a hole in your tongue to mess that up!

Subject: Re: I'm seriously considering....

Written By: 80s_cheerleader on 03/24/03 at 12:14 a.m.

If you do do it, all I can ask is PLEASE don't chew on it or pull on it with your teeth.  That is one of the most annoying things...I used to work with a girl who had it done and she used to chew on it and pull it.  or click it against your teeth.

Written By: ShellyGal on 03/24/03 at 03:18 p.m.

I don't know whether you should or shouldn't (it's your choice) but i do know a little about the pain factor. My sister had it done and she said the serious pain is only for about 5 seconds and after that it just aches. They usually clamp your tongue while they're doing the actual piercing so that it doesn't bleed very much.

No? How about a girl with a nose ring?  ;)

Written By: QueenAmenRa on 03/24/03 at 04:02 p.m.

No kidding.  I find nose rings, lip rings, much more disgusting.  :-X  
I think belly button rings look cool, but just thinking about it makes it itch and plus you have to have like a super model body to do it.  NOT ME!
As far as whether it's in style, well it's got nuthin 2 do with that.  haha  Actually where I live it takes fads like 5 yrs to get around    kinda funny  Wombert could probably expound on that now that she's outta these plains huh   ;D
Besides, if I decide I don't want it anymore, it ain't permanent ya know.

So... do we have a decision yet?

Tongue piercing or no tongue piercing?

Subject: Re: I'm seriously considering....

Written By: QueenAmenRa on 03/25/03 at 05:36 p.m.

Haha  We were talking about it yesterday in trig and the sub was like "What if you had a seizure while they were doing it?"
Well, no it would NOT be funny, but just picturing it we were all laughing. And I said it would be like " :o Ruth, what happened??!!!"  " :P Well, I was going to get my tongue pierced, but they were having this great deal: buy 1, get 30 free. And I said to myself, I'm NEVER gonna see something like this ever again, so...what the heck..."   ::)   haha

Well Wombert here's a plan: if fake ones actually exist like people say, then i'll get one and make them think its the real thing. After they get all mad, I can say "Haha look-it's not real!" Then they're like *whew*.....and then I get it done for reals   ::)  haha

Written By: BrianMannixGirl on 03/26/03 at 04:09 a.m.

Gis I was just about to say that !

My friend at work has her tongue pierced.  When she speaks it sounds like she has a speech impediment - great considering she works in the call centre area !

She has been to the dentist constantly since having it done as her teeth are forever chipping on it.  But she feels that she has got the better deal - her boyfriend got an abscess when he removed his and had to have part of his tongue removed.

And as for simply removing it when you are bored with it in 5 years time - well good luck watching the hole not grow over.  

There are so many other parts of the body that can be pierced without expensive constant dental work and possible life threatening infections.

Oh...some of the "Men" on this board got their lace panties in a bunch about him, so I found one with clothing.  Personally I think it's a bunch of horsedung if you ask me. ;)

You know, I have several tatoos & before I got them everyone told me not too blah blah blah, but I didn't do it for anybody else, I did it for myself, cuz I wanted to.  And I still love them to this day.  So do what you want, you only live once, right?  Yeah, it will hurt (duh) and your parents will get pissed, but they'll get over it eventually.  Rock on you Rebel Queen!  :D

If I was to get a tattoo, I don't know WHAT it would be, but I would have it on my lower back.  Therefore I wouldn't do it cuz it would hurt too much.  :'(  I'm scared of tattoos more than I am piercings.
And I wouldn't do it just to fit it....actually u could say i was doing it to fit out...does that make sense?
