Should your taste buds be numb with a peirceing?
Well your taste buds (over 10,000 on average) don't go numb. You may loose a couple due to the piercing but the taste buds themselves regenerate. Case in point: Eat a bag of Salt & Vinegar potato chips then look at your tongue, you will see great flat spots over areas of the tongue, "missing taste buds". Discharge and other healing processes can play games during the initial healing period, this is not limited to messing with your sense of taste.
Why is sense of smell more important than the taste buds in detecting flavor?
You can only taste 4 things (sugar, salt, acid, & base) everything else that you think you taste is actually a smell.
