What are rules for tongue piercings?

Answer 1

The healing process hurts. Don't do it yourself or you could possibly die from blood lose in about 5 minutes. It's actually really entertaining. The initial piercing doesn't hurt at all. It feels really weird right after you get it pierced. Your going to be in hell the morning after. Your tongue swells insanely and you sound like a total retard when you talk for like a day or two. It can mess up the enamel on your teeth but as long as you go to the dentist regularly and they tell you, your okay then you don't have to worry about it. Mine didn't bleed but my brother got it done the same time I did and his bleed a tiny bit.

Body Piercing Guidelines or "I want a piercing, now what"

1. All Body Piercing studios are regulated and work under regional and local health and city licensing regulations. What you may want may not be legal in your area so call and check with your local studios.
2. Age limits can vary from city to city and state/province to state/province, contact your local body piercing studios (under the yellow pages "Body Piercing" ) they will tell you what the age limits are for your area.
3. Identification is aways needed (Birth certificate, Student card, Drivers license) Parental consent is consent from the legal parents (Mother or Father). Grand parents, Sister, Brother, Second Cousin twice removed doesn't cut it sorry. Unless they are your legal guardians assigned by the courts and have documented proof or this, it just won't work.
4. Prices for piercings vary from shop to shop and city to city. Be sure you phone and ask them what the total price is including any *aftercare solutions they may try to sell you (* Professional body piercing studios won't try to sell you aftercare solution, they will recommend cleansers and soaps but that's it if you want it they will sell it but they will not force you to buy it.)
5. Do your research, check these places out and find a studio that you are comfortable with, talk to the piercer and discuss you wishes. If at any time you feel like you are being ignored or rushed leave, find somewhere else. Good shops will be busy, but they will also want you to book your appointment, this way they have their full attention on you not everyone else who is asking questions (that's a good thing).

Answer 2

If you mean rules for cleaning and care, they are:

-Make sure to mouthwash (1/2 water, 1/2 mouthwash) after every time you eat, drink anything but water, or smoke.

-For swelling, take ibuprofen (not more than 6 in a 24 hour period) and let ice chips melt on your tongue. (I ate a lot of popsicles)

-DO NOT brush the piercing with your toothbrush. All of the bacteria it carries is okay for your teeth, but you could get a pretty serious infection in your tongue.

A white-yellow goo coming from the hole (both on the top & bottom of the tongue) is normal, this is not puss. It won't harm your piercing, it is just something that happens due to swallowing issues, and saliva buildup.

Swelling and discomfort are normal for the first week-two weeks.

The piercing itself isn't the least bit painful.

Enjoy!

You go in and sit down, the piercer will ask if this is your first time getting your tongue pierced (there are different procedures if you have).

If it is your first time, you will be given a small cup of mouthwash to rinse.

The piercer will ask you to stick your tongue out as far as you can, and will then put petroleum jelly on either side of your tongue where the needle will go through. Then the piercer will clamp your tongue with piercing clamps (they look like scissors but with holes in the ends, and no blades) and shove the needle through the bottom of your tongue. They will then pull the tongue ring through, and screw the ball on top. Then you're all done!

It doesn't hurt anything but your pride (due to the drooling during the process).
