How can I get my tongue pierced with a needle phobia?

dont look at the needle because that will freak u out and if u want it done dont even worry about the needle cuz it will b over in a sec and then u will have it pierced 4 the rest of your life. ……. :)

close your eyes. I’ve had my tongue done for 2 years now. and its never given me any problems. dont over clean it. this can cause problems too. take ibuprofen. eat ice cream or slushies. remember the day after it will be the most swollen it will ever be unless it gets infected then take it out. follow your piercers directions and youll be fine.

go 2 a hypnotist!

Pain is generally part of the whole body modification scene; it is supposed to hurt, if it didn’t than everyone would have a pierced tongue and you do want to be different right?. Tongue piercing is one of the more troublesome ones. Your mouth is not sterile so proper aftercare is a must. After the piercing you generally can’t engage in deep kissing or oral sex for 4-6 weeks (one woman I know got her tongue pierced after breaking up with their BF as a sign of independance).

Some piercing studios have Xylocaine anesthetic available. You should ask if they can give your tongue a shot of Xylocaine before piercing.

I have my Tongue pierced, , I didnt notice when it was pierced, and didnt get the chance to see the needle, What hurts is the swelling after, ice cream is the key, you’ll be fine although you wont be able to talk properly for a very short time, I love mine

its no big deal it doesnt hurt the worst part is the MOUTHWASH

just relax you will be fine

trust me, it doesnt hurt. Getting my bellybutton pierced hurt more, and that is barely painful at all. Just bring ice or get a cup of ice when you leave and suck on the ice cubes, so it doesn’t swell as bad. Swelling is the main thing, not pain. oh, and don’t look at the needle! its huge!
