Well your piercer should have explained this to you at the time you got your piercing done. Average healing time is 6 to 8 weeks for a light heal, no piercing is "healed" until it's a year old and seasoned. Now for the tenderness under the tongue, there could be a chance you have a metal burr on the ball under your tongue, best to go see your piercer and have them take it out and look, they can change the ball and you are off to the races.
You need to be at least 18 in almost every place to get your tongue pierced. Under 18 requires parental consent.
It is against the law to get your tongue pierced in this state.
your parent has to be with you if your under 18, or have a person over 21 with you.
This is because of the jewelry resting on the top of the piercing. I got one with my belly button and my tongue. But the one on my belly button is gone now, and the one on my tongue is almost gone. I got my tongue and belly button pierced about two months ago.
18 years old, anything age under that you will need any of your parents consent
Yes u can but it will hurt alot! i have my tongue twice and the 2nd one is close to the web and kinda touches it and it hurts... but after it heals it wont hurt as bad! go for it
I've heard one story where the piercer went around the vein in the middle of the girls tongue somehow but it's supposed to be dangerous and I'm not sure that they're supposed to do it
Okay, you're twelve years old. Getting a piercing right now maybe isn't the brightest idea for you. Just wait a couple of years and think about what you really want. (Trust me, you'll be glad you waited). I'm 13 well i got my eyebrow pierced and my ears twice well you have to be 16 or over if you are under 16 you have to have a parent with you so i always take my mom. and yes I'm getting my tongue pierced too with my mom. so yeah take your mom or dad.
The veins under the tongue often look really dark in color. The reason for this is because the skin under the tongue is very thin.
The barbell is a bit too long, but that's due to the swelling. Once the swelling is gone (about 2 weeks) go back and get a shorter barbell, this will relieve the discomfort under your tongue.
Contact your local health unit they will advise you about age requirements and locations that provide professional body piercing services in your area.
Well if you have an experienced body piercer doing a *traditional tongue piercing (*center line tongue piercing) there should be no issues and he/she knows what to look for. If you are getting any variation of tongue piercing which goes through the actual muscle structures of the tongue then you are on your own and your piercer has no idea what's under the tissue. The location of veins, arteries as well as nerve roots can vary from person to person. The risk is much higher than standard traditional tongue piercings. So be sure you really want this done and if so be prepared to accept the consequences of your request. A real professional body piercer will not venture into unknown territory without doing a large amount of research before hand. But it still comes down to you doing your research and checking out the piercer before you commit to a piercing.
