Answer 2

Tongue Piercing

Your tongue has been pierced by a professional body piercer and pierced using an implantation steel barbell of the highest quality available. The rest of the healing process is up to you. Following this simple guide should enable you to have a great piercing that when healed will look great now and for years to come. Remember one thing no matter how good your piercing may appear over the next 2 to 4 months ( 8 to 16 weeks) it’s not healed and care must be exercised in handling it. Your piercing will not be seasoned (toughened) until you reach 1 year from the date of the piercing , so damage from changing jewellery or wearing inappropriate jewellery in the piercing is still possible within that time period.

New Piercing Aftercare

1) Clean your tongue piercing after everything other than water for the next 7 days, once in the morning and again at night check to ensure the balls are tight on the barbell. Be sure to wash your hands before touching your new piercing!!

2) Swelling will be at it’s peak first thing the morning after the piercing was done. Before bed tonight, in the fridge be sure you have a pitcher of cold water, a tray of ice cubes, you will want these items in the morning. When you get up crush some ice in a plastic bag, then take some of the ice slivers and put them in your mouth and allow them to melt. Try not to suck on them, allowing them to melt is the best. After about five to ten minute you should notice the swelling subsiding. During the day try to have cold water with ice handy throughout the day to keep the swelling down and to aid in the healing.

3) Good oral hygiene is important to allow the tongue piercing to heal as quickly as possible. Purchase a good non-alcohol anti-bacterial mouth rinse if possible, (Oral-B), if you cant find this then Original Listerine will work fine but if you find it’s too harsh then cut it down 50% with water. You must rinse your mouth out after everything other than water for the first 7 days, this is very important! When brushing the teeth do not brush your tongue, this may irritate the piercing. The 2nd or 3rd day after the piercing has been done you may notice a yellow film on the top of your tongue, don’t worry this is the normal matter your tongue generates as it heals this will disappear in a few days. You may also see a whitish circle around the barbell under your tongue, this is the tongues version of a scab and it will also disappear in a few days.

4) Ensure your barbell balls are tightened every night before bed and after you have brushed your teeth and washed your hands. While holding the bottom ball under your tongue in your left hand grasp the top ball with your right hand and turn it clockwise to tighten it. (Right to Tighten / Left to Loosen) This must be done every day to ensure the balls do not loosen off. If you do happen to swallow a ball they will not hurt you, they will pass through your system in a day or so, contact your piercer to acquire another replacement ball.

After 2 Weeks

Re-Visit your piercer to have the barbell shortened, this is important to prevent dental damage from biting the barbell.

Answer 3

I have had mine pierced twice and both times were totally differrent. The first time, my tongue hurt pretty bad for at least a couple of days. The second time I ate pizza for dinner. So, yes, I would say some swelling, soreness and general discomfort are normal. However, you should be using .....I think its called biotene mouth wash for cleaning....and keep an eye on your tongue, this is a wound that needs to be watched until its totally healed.

Answer 4

u can eat almost whatever u want after 3 days. it will be sore for maybe another week or so. u will adjust. be carefull how u chew the food in your mouth u might be chomping on the tongue ring

Answer 5

Good choice-a clever move, that-there are so many good reasons to do that , that im surprised you didnt do it sooner...................if you want even more hassle in your life, get some other bits pierced, then they'll hurt too- yes of course its normal for it to hurt-what do you expect?

Answer 6

That is not normal and either is the fact that you type with a lisp. You should take out the stud. Good luck.

Answer 7

It will stay sore for a couple of days. But please check if there is any color change around your piercing cos that cud indicate infection. If that is the case please do check with a doctor n dont stay online looking for a prescription. It might be dangerous.

Answer 8

Could you post an audio file of you saying "Ey, ook a e! I ot y ung ierced!"

Thanks.
