Does it hurt to get your tongue pierced?

So I really want to get my tongue pierced but I am SO scared of needles. I have read a lot about tongue piercings and im not scared at all for the swelling pain. I just want to know HOW bad the needle part hurts and what I can do to make it hurt less...

before I get it done.

Really, If you have a decent pain tolerence, It isnt that bad at all. The worst part for me was having them hold out my tongue with the clamp. Just start putting ice in your mouth as soon as you can. You most likely will be able to rinse your mouth with mouth wash first and that helps a lot! Just stay calm and breath, Its over before you even realize what happened!

Well,I just get tongue piercing on 10 dec.And I found that actually the swelling part is not that bad.It does not hurts at all.About the needles part,actually I cant really remember.As im mumbling. =P Its not as painful as what you think.I mumble because I wasnt ready and the piercer force me.(She thought im too nervous).Hahas.Actually tongue piercing is the least painful piercing.Nose and tragus hurts more than tongue.Think the worst part is when they clamp your tongue.Its not that painful.Its because you will be tired to stick out your tongue long.Hahas.Go for it!Anything you can send funmail to me.Or you can add me in yahoo or MSN.Good luck! ^^

no

it dont hurt at all its done wiv in a second

Honestly, I have a pretty high pain tolerance, and it just kind felt uncomfortable. Not a HARSH pain but kinda just like urghhh that doesnt feel right but then ur alright cause ur so excited, but for about 3-8 days u kinda have problems eating. GOODLUCK. ITS A GREEAT THING TO HAVE. lol

I just got my tongue pierced yesterday and the clamp didnt really hurt at all and I have a fear of needles too but it wasnt that bad the guy had me close my eyes and take a deep breath then he put the needle through it hurt for like a second and after it was fine.
