Tongue Piecing

[TheRothonater]

Okay I'm getting my tongue pierced next week...I want to know how long the healing process is, how much it bleeds and for how long, the pain level, how long until I can talk normally, and how long until I can eat normally? Lmk pleaseee! Also let me know any tips and tricks that you know of. Just an FYI I have 9 other piercings which include: 11st and second holes on my lobes, an industrial, my nose, 2 top ear cartilage piercings, and my belly button(If you have any of these piercing along with a tongue piercing pain comparison to which piercing is closer to the pain of a tongue piercing would be helpful) Thank you

Your piercer is really the best person to ask and if local would no doubt give you a brief appointment before you proceed to answer all your queries.

Can imagine the tounge being the quckest piercing to heal due to its location and the salavia around it

I bet Airport security love you walking through their metal detector arches. :-)

NJ i know many women with tongue poercings can’t see why it would end up pear shaped.

Can imagine pain being a good 8/9 but healing would be the easiest

Can imagien you would be 100% back to normal aftee 8 weeks two months

Thanks Spath for having a go at answering the questions - TheRothonater, as you may have gathered a Piercing Q&A site may have been a better place to ask rather than a topic on matters of Body& Soul here.
