Can you drink alcohol the day you get your tongue pierced?

No beer, No wine, Yes on anything non-colored and above 80 proof.
No artificial sweetners or coloring.
In this way it'll actually be keeping it cleaner.
Try vodka or everclear.
(this is from my husbands experience)
Just don't drink and drive.
Underage drinking is also not reccomended.
Peace.

you can but if your drunk they cant, they arent allowed to pierce or tattoo you cause your under the influence and your blood is thinner so you bleed more, same with pain meds

I wouldn't-- alcohol thins the blood and could make you bleed much more than you would normally.

i will let you all know tomorrow when i get mine done and drink cpt.morgan like a fish

I did this and I got really drunk...since you have an open wound in your mouth, the alcohol will enter your blood stream through the wound. I would suggest not drinking, but if you do I would stick to "clean" alcohols like vodka gin etc NOt Beer

only if ya wanna leak and spit everywhere

I'm not sure what exactly was meant by this question. Are you wondering whether or not you can drink alcohol before you get your tongue pierced or afterward? Either way, though, the answer is the same: No! Here's Why:

Before: If you drink before getting the piercing, then it will cause your tongue to bleed when it otherwise would not. This, for obvious reasons is not good. If you are thinking of getting drunk beforehand because you are afraid of the piercing being painful, then rest assured because getting your tongue pierced is actually one of the least painful piercings. I just got my tongue pierced about a week and a half ago and, although unpleasant, it wasn't actually that bad.

After: Drinking after getting the piercing done is not a good idea either. Although alcohol can sometime serve as an anesthetic, it would sting like hell and would probably irritate the piercing site. Not to mention the fact that you would still need to use mouthwash to disinfect your mouth after drinking.

no drink listerineinstead. its good for your tongue and will get u drunk


for those who are going to DR me im being sarcastic

well when i got mine pierced it bled for maybe 6 hours and bled ALOT so i wouldnt have drank right after

before or after? after your not supposed to, it makes the tounge swell more and can cause infection easier. before is a bad idea too, because the blood is thinner and if your to drunk the piercher may not even want to do it.

NO DONT IT HURTS LIKE HELL

You're not supposed to. A friend of mine did anyway and her tounge swelled up to the point where she could barely close her mouth. She had to take the tounge ring out. So, I wouldn't.

NO! As with any piercing it is an open wound! Drinking alcohol can increase your risk of a yeast infection. Any substantial piercer will oppose this idea. You have to remember that piercings are more than decoration, they are a serious modification to your body and you must allow time and care for them to heal properly

you can't drink beer because of the yeast but you're allowed to drink liquor. =]

i drank alcohol the first day i got it, nothing really happened. but i still wouldn't recomment it.

I have my tongue pierced and i drank alcohol the same day i didnt have any problems after. However i wouldnt suggest that someone got drunk and then got their tongue pierced because alcohol thins out the blood which will cause bleeding when it wouldnt if you wouldnt have drank before.

I did after I got mine pierced and it was fine. Probably not the best idea, but whatever.

i had my pierced 5 days ago and i have had a load of twister ice lollies and have only a little bit of swelling and it only hurt for one day!! my advice is don't drink alcohol as my friend did and had to have it taken out!! you only have to wait 2 wks anyway!! think of the money you will save in those 2 wks!! you can use it to do a bar crawl or sumfin!? lol

No! Absolutely not. Not unless you want to openly nivite a yeat infection into your mouth, that is.

no dont it hurt like hell

I got my tongue done about 3 days ago.. I was a little buzzed when I did it so it didn't hurt AT ALL. Then I got totally wasted on vodka that night and didn't feel a thing... I tried to eat like I normally do though and ended up biting THE SHIT outta my piercing and had to borrow my friends ball lol. ... Don't do that btw that's prolly not so sanitary. Well last night I tried again to drink vodka and I was smoking cigs too.. I don't know if it was the vodka or the cigs but my tongue was ON FUCKING FIRE IT HURT SOOOOO badd I just went home. But anyways I'ma try it again tonight wish me luck hahaha

Unmixed, you probably can -- in fact, the alcohol would probably act as a disinfectant. But, I guarantee you that you will be very, very sorry if you do: it will sting like a wasp has lot its temper and moved in permanently!

I would totally disagree with the answer before that this could help a new pierce - you shouldn't drink alcohol until at least 5 days after the piercing.
Alcohol kills bacteria in your mouth, including the good ones needed for the healing process.
Alcohol also thins the blood so if your piercing bleeds it may not clot properly, it can in some cases also be the cause of excessive bleeding. This also applies to mouthwashes containing alcohol (ie Listerine) If you insist on using Listerine dilute it and limit yourself to 2 rinses a day.

getting your tongue pierced does NOT HURT i promise you! i got mine done about a year and a half ago i was so worried but totally surprised that it didn't hurt. I guess there are less nerve endings in the middle of your tongue where they pierce it so all you feel is pressure not pain. I love my tongue piercing and am getting my nipples pierced in two days :) the aftercare on a tongue piercing is critical though i was irresponsible and mine got infected my tongue went numb and until i started rinsing with sea salt water and using a antibacterial mouth rinse called biotene only then did it clear up i got feeling back in my tongue and everything was okay. Seriously though its not hard to keep clean i was just an idiot and gave a guy head two days after. but if you can keep it clean its so worth it i suggest you get it pierced ive had a lot of piercings and this hurt less then any of them!!! GO FOR IT!!!

Got mine done yesterday afternoon. My piercer who's been piecing for 7 years said that the whole "don't drink beer" after is just a myth because the type of yeast in beer is different than the kind that can give you an oral yeast infection. So...I went to the bar had a few beers and woke up this morning without any swelling and no yeast infection.

can u drink a day after you get a lip peircing

If you got you`re tongue pirced by a pro then he/she shold of toled you that you shold take anibiotics for 2-7 days. DO NOT DRINK WHEN YOU ARE TAKING ANIBIOTICS!

I just got my tongue pierced on saturday and drank vodka mixed with stuff that night. I was fine. It bled very little for about 5 seconds but other than that no problems. No stinging or anything like that. As long as you dont drink beer, you should be fine.

You can do whatever you want, it's YOUR tongue!

i drank before, during, and after, alcohol won't hurt anyting, but of course some will say different.

Unless they stapled your mouth shut I don't see why not yo...

You CAN, but it's a bad idea. If nothing else, it'd hurt like anything. Alcohol in an open wound isn't exactly comfortable.

yea i did the next day,alot of vodka and then the pain went away cause i was plastered

the answer to ur question is NO... If you do drink, choose low alcohol beverages such as beer or cider. Any drink with more than 10% alcohol is likely to hurt and will impair the healing process.

well i was planning on getting my tongue pierced despite the fact I believe I may have Keloid skin. And then I was gonna go drinking that same night but after these answers I don't think I'm gonna get it that day. Maybe a couple of days after.
Thanks
