Things You Should Know Before Getting Pierced

1. It might take a little time to get used to eating again because of the swelling and barbell.

2. You have to get used to talking with swelling and barbell (reading out loud helps).

3. The actual piercing doesn't hurt much but it does afterwards.

4. Be careful when getting pierced becuse there are some nerves in your tongue that you can do serious damage to if they are hit.

5. The piercing could affect how you sing or play an instrument.

6. You will need to use listerine after anything except water goes in your mouth for a couple weeks.

7. If your tongue swells too much the barbell can get stuck in the tongue and requires surgery to get it out, but you don't have to worry about this if you follow the aftercare instructions.

After The Piercing

1. You can get chipped and cracked teeth.

2. The barbell can cause a scar in the mouth that cannot be removed.

4. The barbell might change the way you talk
