I've had my tounge pierced for a few months now. It's great I love it and my BOYFRIEND likes it as well.

I think if you want it bad enough then you should go for it by all means. If you're not sure that you want it or not then don't go get it done. It really doesn't hurt at all when the needle goes through. It hurts afterwards. Like when you try to talk or when you eat or swallow something. Remember you do use your tounge for everything! Then the part that sucks is it gets swollen for about 4 days and you have to basicaly learn to eat and talk all over again. It's kind of like your a baby for the first week. Other than that taking 2 ibprofens and drinking alot of really cold drinks like slushes or snow cones helps the swelling go down greatly. After the first week though I promise you'll love it. Like I said though if you're not sure if you want it then don't get it done, because even though it doesn't hurt when the needle goes through it hurts like a bitch afterward. I mean I almost took mine out the next morning when I woke up with a fat tounge and couldn't hardly talk. If you can deal with all that comes along with it like not being able to talk right, not being able to kiss for a while, or not being able to eat right for a week then go for it man. Although from my own personal experience I'd say the belly button is better because it only hurt for a hour or so afterward, but my tounge hurt for days afterward and gave me hell for a week. The thing people say that gives off a false idenity to the pain is they say the tounge doesn't hurt as bad as the belly button. You can't feel the needle go through your tounge,but you can feel it go through your belly button. The belly button pain goes away in a hour and you basicaly forget about it, while you might not feel the needle go through your tounge but it hurts way worse than your belly button the next day. Then that pain last for a week or two. So, in some since your tounge hurts worse than your belly button!
