Don't put peroxide in your mouth. It can kill you. Go back to the piercing parlor or your doctor's to have it checked out. To properly clean your piercing, brush your teeth twice a day, as well as the top and bottom of your tongue. To clean the tongue bar, dip it in alcohol, and if you're putting it back in your tongue right away, rinse it. I don't have my tongue pierced, though I want one, and I asked my boyfriend this question. He gave me his answer.
Of course .. if you don't you are inviting infection and/or medical problems down the road.
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
Nope, i've had my tongue pierced, and i didn't have to take my lip piercing out.
Sure go for it. Just take good care of the piercing and make sure it doesn't get infected. If you see any signs of infection remove the piercing immediately.
NO. Absolutely not. Do sea salt soaks. If you use hydrogen peroxide, that could just make the piercing take longer to heal altogether. Peroxide is what can burn off healthy tissue.
whenever you would like, as long as it isn't infected. removing the jewelry in any infectd piercing can cause an abscess (when the entry and exit closes off first, the infection will be trapped.
Not if you take care of it properly.
It'll help with the discomfort.
Well if you take care of your piercing properly nothing, if you don't take care of the piercing the swelling would become painful and could cause an infection to develope (not good).
you can get your naval (belly) piercing at 13-17 as long as you take an adult and the same applys with the tongue piercing but they may tell you to wait until you are 14
TAKING THE TONGUE RING OUT BEFORE THE HEALING PROSES ISDANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO INFECTION, BE SURE TO WAIT AT LEAST TWO WEEKS TO CHANGE THE PIERCING
Well nothing then again you could loose the piercing. Don't mess around with your piercing unless you have decided to go without it, then take it out and leave it out. Screwing around with a piercing that isn't healed is inviting infection, tearing and other nasty things to happen to a new piercing just because you were curious.
