Are there foods i can't eat after getting my tongue pierced?

I really want to get my tongue peirced
so I want to know if they're are limits to what I can eat
_wat it really feels like,I see a lot of vids of people getting it done
and they rarley scream

well first of all,you look pretty young?

When I got mine done it hurt for about like probably 2 seconds cause it goes right through. and I ate regularly. sooo yah.

..maybe not salty foods..
I don't know, I don't have my tongue pierced..

it doesn't hurt that much but you are way to young to legally get it done and you want to make sure you get it professionally done cause if they hit a nerve or a vein your screwed.
and at first for the first week nothing solid cause your tongue will most likely be to swollen to eat. and then for the next could weeks nothing spicey or salty and acidic.

don't eat anything with yeast in it .. tortilla, bread... beer nothing spicy or crunchy either

My piercer told me not to eat spicy foods, ketchup and bbq sauce.
I think it has something to do with the acid in them

By the way, you'll find it hard to eat anything the day you do it so I'd eat ice cream. When I pierced my tongue I tried to eat a veg burger a few hours after and it wasn't very pleasant.
Ice cream will also soothe your tongue when it's swollen.
It ill only be swollen for about 2 or 3 days tho =]

It is not really an initial pain like other piercings such as your tragus. As your tongue is a muscle it doesn't hurt much at all.. Just like a quick pinch. However, the pain does come afterwards. Although pain may be the wrong word to describle it, it is more discomfort. You can't eat spicy foods for the first 3 - 5 days. But apart from that just eat what you can manage..

DONT EAT PORK!!! THATS ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING NOT TO EAT ONCE YOU GET IT!!! AND BELIVE IT OR NOT YOU CANT EAT ICE CREAM EITHER. IT INCREASES THE RISK TO YEAST INFECTION!

I had my tongue pierced on wednesday this week and I was really scared it did hurt a little but more like a pinch and as soon as the bar was put in the pain was gone I got told I was aloud to eat what I wanted but take it easy. the only thing I got told I can't eat is bread because of the yeast in it.

I got my tongue pierced the other day, and my Piercer, Kelly, said I can eat and drink what ever I want, as long as I clean it after. He even said smoking was fine. Mine tongue hasn't even swelled that much. =]
I keep hearing things about not eating bread/milk/etc, but I think it's a bit rubbish. If there was a high risk of infection from eating bread then the piercers would state it, and make sure you know.

technically you can get you tongue pierced at certain places under 18 as long as you have a parent or legal guardian... I just turned 15 april 19 2009 and I got mine done april 23, 2009 so yeah... I had my parent with me... also it didnt hurt me but I got it numb with some crap so yeah...

I got mine done yesterday... it didnt hurt I didnt feel anything until he was screwing on the ball (it wasnt even numb). the only problem so far is I cant eat a thing and I am starving any suggestions? other than that5 just be prepared for mouthwashing and swelling x

I just got my tongue pierced 2 days ago...it didn't hurt gettin it done...it just hurt like 5 hours later...I was told not to eat dairy/yeast products...I actually have barely eaten anything since I got it done...its hard to chew my food and swallow...but I know you can have applesauce its easy to swallow...but you have to rinse your mouth out after everything you eat, drink(besides water), and I got told after every 4 cigarettes(not just one)

hey everyone I just got my tounge pierced and my piercer said after he had gotten his done he ate a double cheese burger lol..but I haven ate anything and im starving I would suggest ramon noodles but you have to chew and that hurts..so right now im sipping pinnapple juice through a straw..so yea

hey I got my tongue pierced on the 2nd so 3 days ago, im 16 and here we dont need parental consent once we are 16, just photo id... mines still slightly swallowen and I cant talk or eat properly. I've been living on yoghurt, jelly, baby food, warm mashed potato and pumpkin, and soft foods. chewing has been really hard so I have been finding soft foods that dont take much to chew... it does hurt if you bite the bar though so be careful while eating. I found it hard to suck on a straw after a few hours, so I just drank normally.

anyways I hope that helps XD

want any info message me :D

Fun mail me

I just got my tounge pierced yesterday and it doesnt hurt all that bad, its mostly pressure you feel, you cant eat anything solid, or even tepmurature hot foods, like my soup, I had to put ice in the bowl. you just have to take it easy but if you want it I say go for it, I love it

I just got my done 3 days ago and my piercer didn't tell me what I could and couldn't eat. He just told me to chew towards the side of my mouth. My tongue was SOOO swollen tha first day I couldn't eat ANYTHING . But I asked friends of mine who have theirs done and a few of em said no yeast too but I don't know .. I`ve been eatin lots of bread and stuff. But my piercing looks fine. I just make sure I rinse it out with alcohol free mouthwash . I can't wait til it heals and I get a shorter bar =p have fun with it if you decide to get one .

don't eat spicy food or any kind of milk product
or yur toungue will not heal rite and yeah I got my toungue done long ago and I know what is write 4 it lol pce out

Hey I got my tongue pierced on Sunday night and its Wednesday now. I went out to eat 2 hours after I got my tongue pierced. I've been able to eat anything I want. Nothing has really bothered me. Haven't done spicy foods...but did the ketchup and it was fine. Umm there is still swelling. I woke up yesterday and looked in the mirror. I saw my teeth indents in my tongue lol pretty weird...but It will go down with time.

Getting the actual peircing does not hurt. I got mine done like 3 nights ago and my swelling has gone down a lot. Eat a lot of CRUSHED ice after you get it done, it will help a lot! And don't eat anything with dairy products in it, and if you do, then rinse your mouth out with salt water or mouth wash right after so it does not get infected. Don't try to eat tortilla's because I almost chocked trying to eat a taco, the tortilla softens quick and it is easy for it to wrap around the bar, and it hurts trying to get it off. Other then that, just don't eat a lot of dairy for like 4 to 6 days. It's hard, it seems like EVERYTHING has dairy OR soy in it!! Good luck!

YES you must not eat anything wiv dairy or yest but if you do for whatever reason eat these then you must either rince your mouth out wiv a table spoon of sea salt mixed wiv a quater cup of luck warm water or use a mouthwash (alcohol free) and when you get iot done there is most likly a mouthwash in there for about three four pound but its worth it because then you no it wont harm because its from the tatto shop I brought a mouthwash from asgard (southamton) I think £3.48 or soming like that and the thing I've found hard wasnt the not eating it was not being able to have a cup of tea for like a week gd luck x
