Hi Bethel,

If it is done by a professional piercer who is experienced in tongue piercing, the procedure is very fast and can be said to be not that painful as expected or should we say scared! On the other hand, keep in mind that the swelling afterwards can make you feel a bit uncomfortable as it may affect your eating and drinking for a few days.

HEALING TIME

It is generally 4 to 6 weeks depending on the aftercare. To avoid the infection and control the swelling, try putting small ice cubes on your tongue. Cleaning your piercing four times a day is crucial. It is best to use an antiseptic solution or an aftercare solution. At first, you are pierced with a bigger piercing to compensate for the swelling. To prevent the potential damage to your teeth, after it is healed completely, change it with a smaller one. Try speaking at minimum at least for the first days, avoid hot or fizzy drinks. Bad news for smokers! Keep away during the complete healing time!

Does tongue piercing hurt during the night?

No the level of pain you have during the day time is the same level at night, and the pain will decrease as the piercing heals and the swelling goes down. The previous answer was highly incorrect and has been deleted for that reason. Leave the jewellery in and follow your after care instructions and the piercing will heal just fine.


How painful is a tongue piercing?

The initial piercing is not painful. The only thing felt is the pressure of needle. The clamp on the tongue hurts more than the actual piercing. The healing after is the painful part.
