Im think about getting a tongue ring but first i want to know how it feels: so does it hurt to get your tongue piersed and is it worth it?

Hello, I have had mine pierced about 4 months now. I would think it all depends on the person about the pain. B/c mine didnt hurt when i got it done, it did swell for about a week but never really did hurt. And its nothing like biting your tongue, I used to think the same, thinkin if biting your tongue hurt, a needle going threw would sure as hell hurt!! But no, biting your tongue feels way worse. It only affected some words i said like words that had the "Th" at the beginning or "S" at the beginning, and it is had to eat at first, but at like a day you will figure out how to eat....slowly, lol. Hope this helped :)

I don't have a tongue ring myself, but I've heard about the experience from friends. My friends who have them said that initially it doesn't hurt that much, but afterward it hurts A LOT. The tongue throbs, and it is very painful to eat, talk, drink and swallow until it heals.

I had my tongue pierced as well as plenty other piercings. My tongue was deff one of the WORST painful of the piercings I have had done. Some people will not agree but for me it was deff my hardest and most painful piercings. The healing part is no fun either!

I suggest you go for a less painful and uncomfortable zone. It really hurts, it chips off the enamel from your teeth and when you talk, it sounds like you have something in your mouth, which is quite exact, actually.

I saw an interesting one in the sternum area, if you want shock value.

I imagin it hurts a lot.Thinkl about how much it hurts to bite your toung.It would make it hard to eat , to me personally i think it don't look all that good either. You wanna get something cool think about a tattoo

Be sure to ask what method they will use to do it, one method if you use it will permanently leave a hole in your tongue or so I'm told.

Getting a tongue ring is extremely painful for a while and its not worth getting because your breath smells pretty bad half of the time.

it sure does hurt hahhaa. but its not pain that you cant bare. the pain shouLd only last likke a week. if longer, then something went wrong. LOL. it suckks the first few days, then its alllL gooodie:) go0ood luck. and make sure you rinse your mouth every time you eat.

I had mine done about 2 1/2 weeks ago and the piercing itself didnt hurt but bout an hour later the swelling started, the throbbing came and i lived off of ibprophen for about a week. I love it, it was totally worth it. For the first 2 week eat soft and cold food. i found that ice cream works great. not cirrus sorbet i fund that out the hard way and remeber to wash your mouth out with listerine everytime you put something in your mouth thats not water.

hey i got my tounge done last night :)
i didnt even feel it just a lil scratch !
iv had no pain or bleeding just a little uncomfortable untill u get use to the bar
eatings no problem ! i was eating fine on the same day u just have to eat very slowly untill u get use to the bar :)
u have to wash ur mouth out eveytime u eat or drink anythink other then watter

Well I got mines done 4 days ago.it took like 5 seconds for her to stick the needle throught my tongue and screw on my bottom ball.it was no pain for me. Just a lil pinch.my tongue never really got sore.its just that you want to eat slow so that you don't rip it open or make scar tissue.I love it so far and can't wait till im fully healed. Make sure you rinse either with salt water or listerine diluted.good luck.

As the person before me said, I think that biting on your tongue hurts a hell of a lot worse than getting it pierced. You'll feel a bit of discomfort afterwards, your tongue will swell, dead cells (looking like pus) will come out of the hole, you could overuse the cleaning products & your tongue will change colors....
To me, the biggest problem was not being able to eat. I was sore for a day or two under my tongue because I had talked so much.
Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since I got it done & I'm still pretty darn swollen. I have to see my piercer tomorrow to figure out why & if I should have it taken out & redone. But all in all...I still think it's worth it. There's nothing like having an object on your tongue to play with whenever you're bored. :)
