Does it hurt to get your tongue pierced?

Getting ANYTHING pierced hurts. If you're asking about the tongue specifically, well think about when you accidental bite your tongue - It HURTS doesn't it? Now imagine a needle going through your tongue.

yes.

Lol, um yeah

I have just had my tongue peirced about a year ago and it did not hurt at all. The next couple of days after I got it done it was uncomfortable as it was all swelled up and it was hard to talk and such.
I think the most pain that I received from it was the anticipation of it as it was freeking mee out but when it ws actually done the peircer told mee to count to five and it was done and I did not even realize that it was done already.
So if you are thinking about getting it done, have no fear as it is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Hell my 16year old daughter got her's done and did not flinch and she is a big wuss when it comes to pain. But she did have pain in the following days when it swelled up.

Don't listen to anybody when they say getting your tounge pierced hurts because it doesn't, unless you are a real whimp when it comes to pain. I have my nose and belly button pierced and neither one of them hurt and I hate pain. It takes like 2 seconds and your done. Of course it's going to hurt a little bit afterwards but the pain only lasts for about a week and you're good to go and later you'll look back and be like...that didn't hurt.

Why are you saying that all the answers you don't like weren't helpful? Whether you like it or not, you need to here the damn truth. It's really upsetting how people only hear what they want to. You shouldn't ask questions if you aren't prepared for an honest answer.

it feels a little weird having the bar throught your toungue, but the real pain is a day to a week later when its swollen its really annoying and dont talk to much or it will hurt more and DONT eat solid foods-- I try to eat a burger-HELLL no I have to cut it in pices and it still hurt

yes it doe sand you can't have any spices or they will get in your tuonge and you will scream like hell!

hey I got my tougue periced yeah I am 13 but it did not hurt so nope it just feels liek you went and needed a tooth pulle douit by the denstise

tounge pericing is the least painful pericing you can get it stins a lil bit but its not as bad as when you bite your tounge by mistake thaks realy sore,its uncomfortable to eat for a day are two but the sweling goes down and its grand

im not sure if it hurts or not myself,but I knw people who av had it done and it dosent hurt at all they were all on soup for about a week but thts it after about a week you will get used to havin a bar through your tongue.
im getting mine done next august,and I've been told nt to panic because thers nothing to be scared of you don't even feel it the onli pain you get is after its been dne. xabix

Nope, Does not hurt at all! But Just Like a lot of them said above about the swelling..yes it does feel really sore. and they say dont eat anything spicy but I used hot taco sauce like a few days after I got it done and I didnt feel a thing. Make sure when you brush your teeth you brush your toungue around the ring well. and what I do is everytime I change to a new bar, I soke the one im going to put in and the one I just took out in peroxide! It just staralizes it so any food or what not isnt going back into your mouth. Good Luck!

me and my friend are having our tounge done tuesday 27 november and loads of people I know have sed that the nose hurt more but I had it done and it didnt hurt. so all go 4 it it will look nice after xx

omg it does not hurt to pierce your tongue.
biting it hurts 10 times worse than piercing it.
the only thing that really hurts is the clamp ,and
the swelling the next day.
you should totally get it.
once you have it, you'll love it!
trust me!

depends on person it does hurt a bit but its not un-bearable...

No, it's not that bad. I'm terrified of needles, and I just got my tongue pierced last night. I thought it would be excrutiating, but it was really quick, too quick to feel the pain. The only thing was right after, it hurt because it started to swell which is typical., so eat tons of crushed ice and anything else cold. You really can't eat much cause it will hurt for three to four days so take motrin for inflammation, it's working for me right now... good luck!!!

Nope..Not at all..For a coouple of days its going to be swollen...Just eat lots of ice and t will eventually go down..AS FOR THE PAIN..--THERE IS NONE..

SERIOUSLY..I HAD MINES DONE

It really doesn't... you can feel it but it doesnt' hurt..
I am 15 and was terrified of getting it done for the simple fact that I thought it was going to be painfull.. but I sat in the chair and did it.. and went home and ate cheetohs and spegetti. but the day or two after there is going to be some tension that kinda hurts, but it really doesnt// hopefully I have helped someone with this...

NOT AT ALL
DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE!!!
I was terrified to get mine done because of all the negative things people said on forums/message boards.
I just got it done no more than an hour ago
it was painless
and still is so far

the only complaint I have is the bars so big, so its rubbing on my mouth. but I get that changed in a week so its no problem.

get it done
if your old enough
and go to a reputable place
you should have no problems.

dont listen to anyone saying your tongue will fall off, it wont, if your being pierced by someone fully trained and look after it while it heals youl have no trouble.

good luck, hope this helps anyone who reads it

I had my tongue pierced 3 days ago. My pain tolerance is not that high, so for me it was painful but not to the point that it was unbearable. Best way I can describe it is like very bad period pain...it went away after about 5 minutes and since then I have had what I would consider is a normal amount of discomfort for a muscle healing and it became very tired and more painful when I tried to talk so best to avoid for first few days as much as possible. Am now able to eat and speak a bit better though!! Only thing I would say is to have something like dissolvable painkillers on hand - dunno about anyone else but I didnt want to try and swallow tablets as tongue was swollen a lot, and mouthwash/salt water is very good at easing the pain. Also dont take any painkillers that thin the blood before getting it done. Getting used to it now, swellings almost gone and still glad I had it done!

it's like a minor bee sting but that is about it..it last for about 5 10 minutes and then it's gone the only thing is it will swell a bit and the more you talk and try things like moving your tongue around in your mouth the more it will hurt but it is worth it!!

hey I was going to ask the same question because I am getting mine done but I feel scared.. if you get yours done let me know!!!
thanks =) xxx

Getting your tongue pierced is like a tiny pinch practically like the clamp hurts a lot more then the piercing itself, I'm an 18 year old actor and I needed it done for a movie im doing, they were gunna give me a fake one but I got a real one. The real problem was the swelling, dont talk to much that increases swelling rinse a lot with the gold/yellow listerine half a bottle that stuff and half water dont use it pure, its a pure antiseptic your tongue will turn white if you use it without water make sure to try not to sneeze also that was a big problem with me cause im allergic to a lot and it hurts like hell but yea goodluck !!

I getting mine done next week and I've read everybodys answer and you all pretty much agreed on everything so I think im still going to get I want one so bad so I lett you all know opinion
