I hope you will wait until you are older before you do that! Then go to someone who is a professional. If you go ahead with it by someone who knows someone and it gets infected then your parents will find out anyway and you are stuck with an infection AND in trouble with your folks.

Ok DO NOT go to just someone to have this done. There are two main veins under your tongue if one is nicked you might bleed to death. There are many things that can go wrong with this piercing. If they don't know what they are doing when your tongue swells afterwards,and yes it does and yes people will notice,If they don't use the right length barbell your tongue will swell over it and that's not good at all. And lastly when you take it out it will close. mine closed in 8 hours when i took it out. people differ on this though.

Uhh, unless you don't talk much, your parents are surely going to be able to tell. You can only take it out for about 6-8 hours without it closing, but that is after it heals. Really, it's not that awesome. You should just wait.

Don't do it. You are not ready. Your parents will notice. You could get sick. It will destroy your teeth and affect your speech.

I don't know where you live, but you may not be able to get a piercing legally if you are under 18 y/o. DON'T DO IT. It is not a good idea. Be different in other ways.

If you're not ready to tell your parents, you're not ready to do this. And yes, they will notice. If you decide to go ahead with this, seek a professional and look into his/her business. Piercing doesn't often but can lead to serious physical issues.

You cannot take it out or it will close up fast I have many friends who took there tounge rings out a year after they had it done and it closed up on them. Yes your parents will know you can't hide it. If it is somthing you really want to do talk to your parents about it and listen to there concerns about it. Parents are right most of the time and only looking out for your best intrests. IT HURTS! Not so much when you get it done but the next few days to a week it swells up and hurts.

just to let you know - my sister got het tounge pierced and her belly button - the tounge ended up being so swollen she couldn't eat and could barely speak. your parents will find out. believe me. you can't take out a tounge piercing for a good few weeks after you've had it - and you can only have liquids for a while. however - if you are still ademant about having your tounge done - at least get it done by a professional. hope this helps!

I have mine done, just got it 2 days ago, my parents don't know and haven't found out yet, I guess it just depends on how often you talk lol. DO NOT go to somebody unless they're professional, my friend is professional and works at a parlor and did my tongue and bellybutton for me. If you last long enough without your parents seeing then, after the swelling goes down put in a clear tongue ring, I have one, but be prepared if they do find out. I'm 17 almost 18 and moving out so it's no biggie for me, but just be careful.

i mean it will be noticeable when you first get it pierced and you will have to wait awhile before you can change it. clean it everyday like your supposed to 2-3 times a day and dont move it around so the healing process will go nicely. if and when you do take it out i would put a retainer in cause oral piercings tend to close up super fast

ive had mine for a month now and my parents still haven't found out. when i got it done i asked for them to put in a clear bar and ball and they did it was only $5 more. not only am i hiding it from my parents but also from my entire family lol. and just last night i went out to dinner with all of them and none of them noticed! don't let ppl scare you by saying your not ready. if you have the balls to do it... you'll do it. and if you don't then just give it time. lolz and ya it does hurt for like th first week.

If you are over 18 who cares if your parents notice?! My father hates piercings and I have my nose, tongue, septum and lip pierced lol. If you are underage and getting it pierced by someone who doesnt have much experience DO NOT GET IT DONE!!! Wait it out, it's worth it.

I have my tongue pierced.. that night i ate real foods and i talked perfectly all you have to do is take ibropofen every 4 hours.. i told my parents i was getting it done.. but they haven't noticed i have it. but i suggest you go to a professional. if you go to someone through a friend for a "hook-up" it won't be worth it in the end

Go to a professional. Not necessarily is there needles sterilized. They can say that they are but you don't want to take any chances. You could get serious infection and possibly have to have your tongue removed.

Is your friends friend a professional lisenced piercer? Do not go to someone who isnt lisenced. There is a very high chance you will get an infection, or worse. And are you 18 or older? If you are, and you really want it done then you should get it. If you're not 18 then I wouldnt do it.

i pierced my tongue by myself at age 14 its been a while now. the only problem is how they pierce it if u go from top to bottom dont do it if they go from bottom to top like i did its alot safer because u can see the veins. my parents havent found out yet and its been almost 2 yrs. u can take it out after about 3-4 weeks without it closing but u cant go long periods of time.

i think that everybody notices a pierced tongue. a pieced navel or other hidden anatomical parts, one might be able to escape the watchful parental eye. if i were you, i'd keep my tongue to myself (sorry, i couldn't help but say it).

Referals are a good idea. How old are you, any good respectable place will want proff of age, please discuss first with your parents, they will find out, you can't take it in and out, the tongue heals faster than any other peircing on the body. I took my 17 yr. old, they would not do it with a birth certificate, had to have picture ID. That's the kind of place you want, to be picky, very picky.

No, going somewhere just because your friend said so is a bad idea. Ask a couple more people about it first and do some of your own research, because if done wrong, a tongue piercing can go horribly horribly wrong. So definitely find somewhere reputable that you can trust. Also, you can't take it out for periods longer than around a few hours. And even then, not for the first month or so. It is fairly easy to hide though. Just try not to open your mouth too wide when you talk, and don't yawn in front of them! The mos difficult part will be finding an excuse for the slight lisp for the few days after you get it done.

Hay, I'll tell you like I told my two daughters - I think anyone who gets pierced or tattooed has a few screws loose somewhere, ( my wife has 2 tattoos but that didn't stop me from telling my girls my feelings on the matter,). Look, if you get a toung stud your going to lisp from now on - period. 5 girls and 2 guys at my office have gotten them over the past few years and they all lisp now - every darned one of them. Second thing - in my opinion they look vulgar - not dumb or silly but vulgar, cheep, trashy, unatractive, and really stupidly FADISH - like all those simply dreadfull barbwire or rose tattoos on women - they look like a tribe of badly cloned Pamela Andersons doing a tramp strut in the mall...AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Don't become a "CLONE" while trying to be an individual - if you want to pierce something then don't pierce your toung or lip or belly button - be original - be unique - be yourself - and treasure your uniqueness and flaunt that around in front of your friends. My daughters have grown up now - the "fads" of high school have come and gone for them - and they survived it all by being different then their fadish friends and they now see how silly all that stuff is now. Be unique - never follow "fads", and put getting that voice changing bit of junk off your mind untill your old enough to do it all legal and proper.

I had mine done about 2 weeks ago. It was painful for about two or three days, the process didnt hurt at all shockingly enough. Eat soup for a few days, tell ya folks youve got a sore throat and cant speak very well, after just 4 days i was talking normally again, still being careful what i ate, avoid noodles at all cost!!!! Lol. Go for it, get it done. Ladies love it ;-) Lmao x

a) yes they will notice b) only go to a professional, if you dont it can lead to serious damage. c) you cant take it out for more than a few minutes the first 2 weeks and even after that (6 months) you can still only leave it out for a few hours.

You'll need to leave it for a while once its first done, it will be noticable. Talk to your parents about it- start by asking for a nipple ring and work your way down, so you reach a comprimise ;)

my parents knew i wanted it done but they do not like that idea of me piercing my tongue and I'm 25. got it done, and my parents didn't notice it for about a month, my mom found out on x-mas eve 08, then my dad found out the a couple of days later. he wanted me to take it out, my suggestion would be to buy a couple extra tongue rings in the gauge they pierce you with, because if they make you take it out you can replace it quickly. my one suggestion would be is to start eating ice and cold things as soon as you can after you get it done to keep swelling down. you will notice that the bar will get real cold, keep the ice on the sides of your mouth. and use the yellow mouth was no flavor, because the other type with flavors in them have sugar to make it sweeter and that can cause an infection. but go to a couple of local piercing shops and see and if you feel funny or get a bad feeling being in the shop leave and find somewhere else.

Ask yourself the question: why would I do this? I have no education or training with regard to the emotional dynamic urging you to do so, but a highly experienced and very well respected psychiatrist once told me: If there is doubt in one's mind whether to do such-and-such or not, then don't do it. (Your question expresses your own uncertainty.) Will doing so make you a better person? Will doing so improve your self-image? The possibility (very limited, perhaps) exists of contracting HIV. And what, of importance years from now, will you gain?

I had my tongue pierced without my parents knowing, got away with it for 3 months until i told them. they didnt realise at all, i hid it well but it is pretty obv to see so yeah they will find out. and i'd recomend you to go somewhere proffesional seriously! .. and yeah it will close up straight away!

Piercing are passe. Don't.
