![]() Ok well to start off the tongue is usally pierced about 2-3 cm back on the center of the tongue unless otherwise specified. The professionals should know exactly where to pierce so that they don't hit the viens that are in your tongue. Basically what they do is dry off your tongue, put it in this really tight clamp, make a little black dot so that they know where to pierce, and WHAMO! They jab the needle thru. haha.. sorry... it sounds way worse then it actually is. The healing time isn't that long and goes by really fast considering your tongue will sweal to about twice the size. The swealing goes down in about a week and your tongue is fully healed usually in about a month. They ask you to clean it with either Listerine and/or salt water. Personally, because Listerine is a very strong mouth wash and can cause problems if used as often as we eat/drink/smoke something, so i only tended to use it once in the morning, and before bed and salt water for the rest of the time. After that its up to you what size/gauge of barbell you want as well as the choice in beads that you can change(color, size, etc.). Heres a pic of the piercing itself. |
![]() As i said above, there is much to choose from when shopping for tongue barbells. Some things to take into consideration are things like GAUGE- Usually people are pierced with the standard 14 gauge barbell.. the gauge of course being the thickness of the actual rode itself. I just recently got myself a 12 gauge one, and i cant exactly say it tickled when it went through my tongue.. remember.. the lower the gauge the thicker the rode. Another thing would be the length of the barbell. I dont think there are any "rules" on this one, but going with a really long barbell wouldnt be the best idea, just because when the barbell is longer you are more at risk for biting your barbell, and in the end causing alot of damage to your pearly whites. As far as "types" of Jewelry some of the choices are listed here, and they are.. BENDED BARBELLS ACRYLIC BARBELLS AND BEADS WHITE AND YELLOW GOLD TITANIUM STAINLESS STEEL |
![]() I tend to say that if you really wanna do something, then nothing should hold you back (unless your underage, or its illegal :) haha) There are soo many myths out there, and i hate to disspoint the parents, but its not going to kill or denature your child. You're not going to die, although you may feel like it for the first day or so depending on your own personal pain tollerance, but soon the swelling and discomfort will be gone, and believe me.. its worth waiting for. Tongue rings, just like any piercing show personality.. and once you have it done.. people wont look at you the same without it. So just suck it up already and go do it!!!! And as always, if you have any questions or comments on this page.. please feel free to express yourself in my guestbook or via email. Spankz for comin.. |
