Well getting a tongue piercing should be up to you, it's your body and your decision. You need to ask yourself if it's something you want and if so are you ready to go through the healing time and the swelling and discomfort in order to get it. Oral piercings are serious piercings and should never be taken lightly, there are risks and all these need to be discussed with your professional body piercer before you commit to getting the piercing. Talk to your piercer before you decide, that's what they are there for, ask questions and get answers that make sense to you.

How do you convice my dad to let me get my tongue pierced?

ask him for something much more scary then a toungue piercing and tell him youll do it yourself and then say youll settle for a toungue piercing. Don't do any piercing yourself. That's a horrible idea unless you're a professional. Tongue piercings are a hard sell for parents. Many people still think that they are only meant to improve oral sex. So, yeah, there are many negative views on them. Try getting another ear piercing or even a navel piercing. Show him that you can care for them and then he may let you get your tongue pierced. Good luck!!


Can i take my tongue piercing out in a week?

That is not a good idea, because your piercing is still in the healing process. If you take it out it is possible that you can still get an infection. The infection can get trapped inside your tongue and cause BIG problems.. wait until it is fully healed (4-6 weeks) before taking it out

YOU DON'T. How in the heck would you shove such a blunt and wide bar through your tongue? Piercing your own tongue is a horrible idea. You could hit an artery and bleed to death. Go to a professional


How sore is getting your tongue done compared to your bellybutton?

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.

Is it safe to smoke weed right before you get your tongue pierced?

It is generally not a good idea to do anything before getting a piercing. Perscriptions, alcohol, drugs, even caffeine is not recommended before getting pierced. Piercings cause blood sugar levels to drop and any "drug" even caffeine can have a negative effect on the body during piercing. Even asprin, which can cause excess bleeding. If its not an oral piercing doing it after is a better idea.


How long will a tongue piercing discharge for?

Typically a new tongue piercing will discharge for 6 to 8 weeks and then ease off as the fistula* is formed (*fistula is the tube of new tissue that makes up the actual piercing hole). Swelling is at it's height for about 2 weeks (14 days post piercing) then once the swelling has eased it's a very good idea to have the piercing jewellery downsized to avoid dental damage from biting the jewellery. Plastic barbells are not recommended for new piercings and actually can fail due to the swelling leading to swallowing or inhaling the plastic barbell. A tongue piercing like any piercing is never to be considered fully healed until it's a full year old, you can have a light heal but it takes a full year for the piercing to season up allowing for removal or the jewellery for extended period of time.


Is it okay to go swimming after piercing your belly button?

Swimming after getting your piercing is not a good idea. The water has a lot of bacteria in it which could cause an infection. It is recommended that you wait the full heal time before swimming, which is 6-12 months.
