Why can't I pronouce properly after a tongue piercing?

Hello. Recently my tongue piercing had just healed.But not complelely heal.But when I talk to my friends,they say when I talked to them,I sound like I have short tongue.So that means I cant pronouce properly after my tongue piercing.What can I do to...

pronouce properly?I mean,without taking out the barbell.Or can I pronouce properly after it fully healed?

you have basically a piece of metal in your mouth, when it heals and you get used to it you'll be able to talk just fine, its because your tounge will have to move a bit differently to pronouce words with the piercing, dont worry about it

You SHOULD be able to talk right after it heals the full way...Mine was the same way until it really healed...but now I gaged my tounge ring to an 8!! How long have you had it done for???

Did you by chance have your fingers pierced as well?

...because your 'speaking muscle' has been impaled on a spike.

I done my piercing on 10 dec 2007..Nope.I dont want to have my finger pierced.Its too scary for me.

do you still have the long barbell they put in your tongue when it was pierced?
if so, after it's healed, and the swelling is all gone, put a regular sized one in.

When I wear the standard length barbell,I sounds like having short tongue.But if I wear regular length,I still sound like short tongue..But better than the standard length..

becuase you have a piece of metal in your tongue...duh
