I used oral spray and it worked amazing and it. Healed so fast. While using the first week salt water it killed me with pain, but oral spray helped to numb my tongue and healed so much , just thought I’ll share this with use
Just got piercing a few hours ago and idk if it’s just me, but it really wasn’t as painful as I’d thought it’d be lol. my tongue is definitely swollen as hell right now, but it’s tolerable! 😁
Same, i saw some people saying that it was very painful but this is my second day and is just the tongue being swollen and difficulty to eat, but is not tragic.
I'm getting my tongue pierced on my 18th birthday in three weeks. I've done a ton of research and this video perfectly sums up everything in the simplest way possible. I wish I had watched this before I read 50 articles that all said this in a far more complicated way.
@@nadiaruiz1945 it did swell for the first two-ish weeks, hard to eat and hard to speak for a long time. It gave me a lisp until the swelling went down. I took mouthwash and saline and a toothbrush with me to school every day and followed the aftercare to a T, so I didn't have any problems with the healing. Overall it took about a month to get back to normal speaking and eating. It takes a little bit to get used to eating with a ball in your mouth and I've chomped on the ball a few times but I haven't hurt my teeth yet. I forget I have it in a lot but I love it. It's become a big part of my self expression and I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon. 10/10 definitely recommend (if you can deal with the healing)
I got my tongue piercing from you about 3 years ago and I was so nervous I had my cousin holding my hand and as soon as the needle went thru I was all like “that was nothin” lmao unfortunately I had to take it out two weeks later due to my school not having piercings and it broke my heart. That piercing was in the perfect spot and following your aftercare instructions made the pain tolerable afterwards. Thank you I plan on getting that piercing again
Love this, already booked my appointment at my local piercers. All the other videos always worry/scare me but this was very chilled back and informative Edit: I've had it done for a week now and I love it, the healing is a pain but that lasts about a week but it's worth it!
got mine pierced yesterday. the swelling is no joke but honestly my belly button was 100x worse than this if that tells yall anything. i ate nothing yesterday but today i ate steak! just cut up tiny pieces and use ur fingers to put it on your back teeth. love the piercing. thanks for your video❤️
You should be healed up by now to sleep without it. You don't know what your tongue does during your sleep. It will help save your teeth. Just put it back in after you wake up.
I had my tongue pierced about 5-6 years now. My pain was very minimal maybe a 2/10 but everyone is different. Healing was a breeze and only the first 3 days were difficult to eat. By day 7 I could speak perfectly normal and by week 2 the super long bar is not a bother at all I actually didn’t care to change it. 6 years later i completely forget it’s there sometimes lol i probably won’t ever take it out
getting mine in probably a week im so nervous so im binge watching all these videos lol!! update: ive had it for almost a week now and im suffering i miss food so much and my tongue hurts like a bitch ughhh hope this shit heals soon
I just came across this video, and i have watched at least a 100 tongue piercing videos. I took my tongue piercing yesterday and I think that your explanation was so simple to follow. Thank you!
Watched this video before getting my tongue pierced and I’m super pleased with how mine turned out. This was very informative and very lovely and simple
Got mine done 4 days ago, it's uncomfortable but I can eat easier now and I've changed my bar to a shorter one, its definitely more comfortable. I love it, definitely hope to keep it for a long time
+Marie Caudillo it all depends on the person. My first two tongue piercings i had the long bar cause of swelling. But for my 3rd and 4th tongue piercings i changed to a normal length bar cause i had little to no swelling. I
+Marie 🍄 +Marie 🍄 I talked to my piercer and he switched my front one (I have 4 in a diamond shape) to a flat plate (maybe he even used a lip stud, idk) cause it was so close to my teeth I couldn't close my mouth comfortably. I had no issue's what so ever. And of course it hurt. But what I personally did was put numbing liquid like for a toothache and put it on top and make it go down the hole so it's numb and that's tolerable.
I've had mine for 3 days now and I'm good. I've been using salt water to clean and today I've decided to start using non - alcoholic mouth wash after using the salt water.. I can eat some solid foods but still being very careful.. Anti - Inflammatory pills helped with the swelling but i took them before I slept
I love my tongue piercing. I’ve had it for two years now. I munched on a lot of ice the first few days to help with the soreness and swelling. I switched my bar to a shorter bar the moment I was able to and my piercer would allow it. I’ve never had issues with it rubbing against my teeth or gums. I didn’t have issues eating after. My piercer told me to keep it soft and nothing that could wrap around the jewelry. It’s fallen out once and that’s the only issue I’ve had with it.
Its my second day and i am soooo Hungry. It did swell like à hour later to it's max yesterday, But today is cool no pain, m'y mouth just feels wierd with the bar Bell in there.
Love this video - got mine yesterday and i kinda feel crazy with the pain and swelling already, suuuucks knowing i have a few more weeks of this and not being able to really eat (or drink haha) but it's kinda like a diet and rehab all rolled into one 😂😭
I bought body jewelry from you guys before I realized you had a TH-cam channel. I was really happy with the jewelry. I'm for sure buying from you guys again!
Mine didn't even hurt. It bled excessively when I got it done but otherwise it was fine. The next day I literally got punched in the jaw by a resident jamming the ends of the piercings into my upper and lower palettes so I'm just constantly in pain now. I try not to take meds, I try not to eat, I try not to talk a lot because everything is painful now. I do not recommend a punch to the jaw. Love the healthcare business.
I got my tongue pierced yesterday. I got a slushy right after it. It doesn’t hurt that bad :/ its kinda swollen but it’s not as bad as I thought it was gonna be.
I got my tongue pierced like a week ago and so far the healing process has been great lol hasn’t been sore yet, and my tongue didn’t even swell that much... I was eating salt n vinegar chips on day one😂
15 yrs now wow...I still have mine in ...its been forgotten about at times for years ...but I keep it as a novelty and it was the worst experience ever first 3 weeks ...
Michelle Walser I got mine 3 days ago and the only thing that’s annoying me is with how long the bar is and having slurred speech but other then that I love it.
Got mines pierced yesterday, had it done at an angle. I dont have any swelling or pain at all, the only thing is the long bar. I did have to change it today because the long barbell was digging into my tongue at an angle and leaving a long dent down the middle of my tongue. When I took it out it was very irritated and pus-y I’ve been using zero alcohol listerine after each meal and twice a day when I brush my teeth. Once I rinsed it and changed the bar to a slightly shorter one all the irritation, gone. Also my speech is 100% better. 😌
I was super unlucky, I got my tongue pierced about 2 days ago and the day after I caught a cold, I probably should've waited since my family was sick but I didn't, I'm just praying it doesn't get infected
I just got my tongue pierced last weekend and am experiencing a lot of irritation with my bottom ball hitting my tongue web and the space underneath the left side of my tongue. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
I just got my tongue pierced again after 5 years & the second go around is much easier. However, the piercer decided not to pierce in the same spot but next to it & i am happy with it
I'm getting a tongue piercing in like a week(I've been waiting for months, it's so close!), so I've been looking up the after care stuff so thank you for this video!
Just got my venom bites done (2 bars, through both muscles), swelling is such a bitch. I got it done 5 days ago, I haven't been able to eat anything, other than cold soup and applesauce. Tried eating a piece of cheese today, R.I.P. my tongue. I miss fast food so much😭 I also still have a "lisp" still, I'm excited to be able to talk again! My piercer also told me NOT to use mouthwash, just saltwater soak... After 3 days I caved and bought some biotene alcohol-free mouthwash. Helped immensely!
The healing process is literally a breeze (different for everyone) however me and my friend both didn’t really experience any bad pain we expected much worse it’s just kind of sore but now I’m on day 5 it doesn’t hurt however it is swollen but use non alcoholic mouthwash (half mouthwash and half water) I find it helped more than salt water
Are you single? If you don't mind me asking. I'm curious about being able to do romantic things & how long it would take to be able to get back in action
@@purplehaze-u2c it hinestly wasn’t as bad as I expected, I think the only issues I had was that the bar was just so long it couldn’t sit comfortably in my mouth. I didn’t have much swelling eating was kinda hard but I just cut little pieces and ate soft foods for maybe 5ish days I believe. But other than that It’s my favorite piercing ever. I would recommend just switching it out whenever your piercer says it’s fine to do so and finding the perfect bar length nothing too long or too short and you should be perfectly fine
I got my tongue pierced two weeks ago and the the tongue piercing itself is healing Well. However, the swelling has not gone down a lot. If i stick my tongue out I have plenty of room on the bar but it’s still Puffy.
i got my tongue done 3 months ago and my piercer said wait a month to change the bar... but i went to get my nose pierced and that piercer (20 yrs experience) said to wait until the swelling is gone(2 weeks), and because i waited longer, my tongue started to rip, so i have raised skin on my tongue now from the long bar sitting at an angle. she said the tongue is fully healed in 2 months and waiting a month to change the bar to a short one is what caused my tongue to get fucked up
I just got mine done like today and the thing is it kinda hurts when I talk, and also i'm afraid it will get infected from eating. Hearing you say it's a relative fast healing piercing helped a little😌
@@myrdeazjah3497 not at all, I swear. I believe it's because you're full of adrenaline or nervous. (I had a labret and it hurted a lot, so I though this one would too) Of course it depends on the person, but that was my experience
Does it scab? I have some extra tissue around it, I have been coming in contact with hot foods and lemon and orange drinks, could that have caused it? Should I be worried??
I'm getting mine done tomorrow. I never thought about it until now, but like I can't breathe through my nose, never could, I need to breathe through my mouth. If my tongue swells to the point where I can't breathe at all, Imma take it out. Now I'm paranoid I will die from suffocation or something in my sleep.
so can you not smoke while it’s healing ? and for the swelling is it hard to talk at all or would it be better to have it done in the summer with no school
@@demiellington6004 so I live in America but age depends on the state and tattoo parlor cause in Colorado you have yo be 14 and in Minnesota you can be 14 but you just have to call a few places
I have had the snake eye piercing for 2 month the first week all the pain and swelling went away but like 4 days ago on one side it's swollen and it hurts should I take it out
Anyone have advice in lymph coming out of piercing? Or is it infected?? Its kind if a yellowish color, I got my piercing almost 2 weeks ago but I ripped it eating because I wasnt eating soft foods, is it just trying to heal the rip? Or should I see my piercer?
Idk maybe I have a high pain tolerance(?), but I didn’t feel any pain during these last few days or even the actual piercing. I ate a burger right after.
Is it okay to brush your teeth as normal? When brushing my teeth does it matter what type of toothpaste i use? Also is it okay if i brush my tongue with my toothbrush (around the actual piercing ofc) or should i avoid doing that, if so until what week can i start brushing my tongue again.
Your supposed to continue as normal with brushing just instead of a medium toothbrush you need a very soft brush as with a fresh piercing you will have some white gunk come out of it which is nothing to freak out about as it's just white blood cells trying to form a scab but as the mouth is moist a scab won't form
I just got mine done. Will it always hurt when you bump it against your teeth or is it just cause mine is fresh? And will a smaller bar help prevent tooth damage
got mine a couple hours ago! my tongue hasn't swollen at all (only the first 10 minutes right when i got it) and doesn't hurt at all. wouldnt even notice if it wasnt for the bar lol cant wait to downsize it
I got mine done today and it’s not that hard to speak I took pain meds so it doesn’t hurt at all rn but I can’t eat comfortably and it swells but it’s good :)
I'm getting my tongue pierced tomorrow I'm so excited and kind of scared. I want to know, how can I tell if my piercer is at least experienced in tongue piercings? I've only had ear piercings so this is a big thing for me. I would appreciate any answers. :_:
Usually if you go to a tattoo shop there’s professional piercers who has pierced just about anything. So as long as they are licensed and work at a public place you should be okay! Good luck on that piercing
I got my tongue pierced 3 days ago and it’s so swollen and like the top of my tongue feels numb/burnt, is that normal or not? I’m not sure if it’s infected or not 🤷♀️ I literally can’t eat because I can’t chew, my tongue hurts when I move it 😕
....they might've hit a nerve or something. I just got mine double pierced and I had no numb or burn sensations. You might want to get a doctor to look at it.
Princesa Tbh It sounds like you're tastebuds are inflamed. That happened to me too and it was completely normal. Different people have different reactions. All of the videos, I've watched about tongue piercings don't mention it; which is weird.
Do you know a good website to go to for snake eyes tongue ring replacements the past time I tried getting a curved tongue ring it was too short so I need your advice on that
so I got mine done like 2 days ago and it's really swollen right now, i have a big ass lisp and can't eat :'D i just wanted to know if dairy products were bad for the tongue especially yogurt
All distilled water is , is boiled water which you can use normal tap water and a kettle and boil it and for the first few weeks salt and water or non alcohol antiseptic mouth wash such as corsydol is a requirement
Hi I just got my tongue pierced yesterday and when I woke up the front left side of my tongue was red. Should I take it out or wait a little longer to see if it will go down?
I need piercer advice: I got my tongue pierced yesterday and despite the normal after effects I FEEL THIS SORENESS AND PAIN IN MY CHIN AND THROAT, FAR BACK MY PIERCING SPOT!!! if anyone has had a similar experience as me and is still alive PLEASE LET ME KNOW OR EXPLAIN BECAUSE AFTER GOOGLING IT, I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A WOMAN WHO DIED FROM BLOOD POISONING, CLAIMING TO HAVE HAD A SORE THROAT AFTER GETTING IT DONE . Im scared for my life ☺ ! Help?
Ayye Nena i've had mine for 8 days now and i started with ice pops, ice cream, instant mashed potato and sorbet. now i can eat most foods with the exception of spicy food (as it is not yet healed and it will cause irritation) and foods that are extremely hard and jagged e.g. potato chips
I got my tongue pierced last week now i have a pink ring around the top ball its not infected swelling is down the pink ring is sore to touch i’ve been using biotene mouth wash and recently started using salt rinse nothing seem to be helping any advice?
Question asap: do you have to go back to your piercer to change to a shorter bar or can you just change it yourself? I had a pretty sucky piercer and I can’t find any information on if I have to or not :/
i need advice , got my tongue pierced yesterday and since then theirs an awful taste left in my mouth even after brushing my teeth or use mouth wash ... is that normal and will it go away ?
Hi I hope not to disturb, I just have a doubt about tongue piercings. I had mine done two months and a half ago. It doesn't hurt anymore, sometimes it just kind of burns a little when I eat spicy food, because I'm Mexican. xD I admit that I haven't thoroughly taken care of my piercing, but I believe by now should be healed. I was a smoker but I haven't smoke since I had it done (well just once, a cigarette). Now the thing is that, my piercing is still suppurating some whitish-greenish (sorry for my poor English skills). Is not that much but It worries me because it's not completely white (it does look white on my tongue but when I remove it I realise it looks kinda green) What concerns me is that i don't feel my tongue is infected I don't see any other signs, it doesn't hurt, it's not swollen or red. You mentioned that eating spicy food or citrus might lengthen healing process. Have you ever had customers whose piercings took more than three months to heal? I'd really appreciate your help. And I promise to start to take it serious. I really want to keep my piercing, I love it.
I really want to get mine pierced but I start my job in a week and I don’t want to talk weird when I first get my job. So I’m gonna wait till I’ve had my job for a month and then get it pierced
Hey Matt, how do you feel about getting a tongue piercing with a fissured tongue? will healing and after care differ? i cant do acidic items anyways, but, i know a lot of people say mouth wash, but i cant do mouth wash either.
My tongue didn't swell at all. Lol, my gf was annoyed coz she said hers was huge afterwards, the long bar is annoying though and eating was difficult, didn't avoid kissing or oral sex either, I just rinsed after with an alcohol free chlorhexidine mouth wash, after 2 weeks it was fine and I started splitting it with dental floss and now 3 weeks later it is looking great and not sore at all, even eating spicy food again, in the past 5 weeks my tongue has been pierced and split and I had about a week of moderate discomfort between the piercing healing and the actual splitting and a week of mild discomfort as the split healed, no bother really!
Since I have controlled diabetes type 1 (I mentioned "controlled" especially since my healing process is pretty normal), what foods would be recommended during the first few days after getting the tongue pierced?:)
Mackenzie Poulton I was told liquids. No citrus, dairy, or spicy foods for at least the first 2 weeks. Other than that, it's whatever you want that won't hurt when you eat.
Okay I’ve a question. It’s been 2 weeks and 2 days since I got my tongue pierced. It’s a snake eyes piercing. So my question is Is it okay to smoke now or should I wait longer?
I've watched so many tongue piercing advice videos in the last 24hours and I just want to thank you for the simplicity of this.
You read all of our minds .. other peoples are click hate for views
"If you're a smoker, you should probably quit"lmaoo
Just got mine today and im feeling great. Having some difficulties eating tho
But obviously I'm sure you're not gonna quit 🤣😂
I can't eat 😣
I didn’t eat the whole first day. The second/third day I did just smoothies
omg want to do mine nw but scared lol
I used oral spray and it worked amazing and it. Healed so fast. While using the first week salt water it killed me with pain, but oral spray helped to numb my tongue and healed so much , just thought I’ll share this with use
What oral spray did you use? Was it over the counter?
Yes, I need the answer as well

howd that end up ?
I want to do mine but I can't have a swolen tongue for more than 4 days because then I'll have work and I have to talk alot!
Haha that's literally what I'm doing. I work weekends so I'm getting it after work on Sunday so i have the whole week to heal before i go back to work
I literally talk for a living I work in a Chinese 😂I’m at work tonight n I’m getting it done this afternoon 😩
I work at fast-food 😂😂 and I work all week
When I got mine done and it only was swollen for about 5 days. It really depends on the person
I ended up doing under the tongue, not swollen or weird talking at all!!
I’m lucky I have a bad overbite, so my piercing doesn’t hit my teeth XD
lilkimimaro I’m getting mine done on Sunday and I also have a overbite :)) his makes me feel a bit better thank you
underbites are better because most issues are with the bottom row of your mouth

Same problem here! How did yours end up?
Omg same
I had same problem, I’ve just gotten used to it.. in a few weeks you won’t feel it as much trust me :)
Saaaame
Other than a smaller bar it can't be prevented especially when they don't change the bar to a smaller one for 2-3 weeks while it's still healing
I’m getting my tongue done this week can’t wait and this video helped so much 😊
I just got my tongue pierced again after 5 years & the second go around is much easier. However, the piercer decided not to pierce in the same spot but next to it & i am happy with it
Now its trying to ride this healing process out once again.
I'm getting a tongue piercing in like a week(I've been waiting for months, it's so close!), so I've been looking up the after care stuff so thank you for this video!
I’m getting mine pierced tomorrow thank you for this
I love how simple u made it sound to be thank you much appreciated
You are awesome man, your video is simple and informative. Keep up the good work 👌
this is a very informative video , thank u :).. i just got a new tongue piercing and this video helped a lot
Just got my venom bites done (2 bars, through both muscles), swelling is such a bitch. I got it done 5 days ago, I haven't been able to eat anything, other than cold soup and applesauce. Tried eating a piece of cheese today, R.I.P. my tongue. I miss fast food so much😭 I also still have a "lisp" still, I'm excited to be able to talk again!
My piercer also told me NOT to use mouthwash, just saltwater soak... After 3 days I caved and bought some biotene alcohol-free mouthwash. Helped immensely!
This video is the best one yet!
The healing process is literally a breeze (different for everyone) however me and my friend both didn’t really experience any bad pain we expected much worse it’s just kind of sore but now I’m on day 5 it doesn’t hurt however it is swollen but use non alcoholic mouthwash (half mouthwash and half water) I find it helped more than salt water
Are you single? If you don't mind me asking. I'm curious about being able to do romantic things & how long it would take to be able to get back in action
Got mine pierced about 4 hours ago out of the blue, no planning but I've got all the mouthwash and everything, but this vid is helping a lot
had mine 7 months now love it the little ball studs come off sometimes when I'm eating bit annoying lol but love it glad I got it done:)
I’m getting mine done on Saturday and this was really helpful omg I’m so excited
I'm getting mine this Saturday 🤦🏾♀️🤣
Pain level 1-10?
@@Shon9tilR it was honestly my least painful piercing, I dead ass didn’t feel anything
Oh okay & how was your healing experience?
@@purplehaze-u2c it hinestly wasn’t as bad as I expected, I think the only issues I had was that the bar was just so long it couldn’t sit comfortably in my mouth. I didn’t have much swelling eating was kinda hard but I just cut little pieces and ate soft foods for maybe 5ish days I believe. But other than that It’s my favorite piercing ever. I would recommend just switching it out whenever your piercer says it’s fine to do so and finding the perfect bar length nothing too long or too short and you should be perfectly fine
I got my tongue pierced two weeks ago and the the tongue piercing itself is healing Well. However, the swelling has not gone down a lot. If i stick my tongue out I have plenty of room on the bar but it’s still Puffy.
I have seen people Peirce the tounge from the top and From the bottom. what do you recommend.
I recommend learning how to spell
Hold on let me call 911 for that burn
Damnnnnnn😂😂😂😂👌🏻💯
Hello. Would you recommend a person who's tongue that can't flip up to get snake piercing
Bottom, because you don’t wanna damage any valuable blood vessels also it’s much quicker and better for the tounge.
I want to get my tongue pierced but it’s going to hard for me not to eat spicy food I eat spicy food all the time
I just got mine done today and this helps a lot.
i got my tongue done 3 months ago and my piercer said wait a month to change the bar... but i went to get my nose pierced and that piercer (20 yrs experience) said to wait until the swelling is gone(2 weeks), and because i waited longer, my tongue started to rip, so i have raised skin on my tongue now from the long bar sitting at an angle. she said the tongue is fully healed in 2 months and waiting a month to change the bar to a short one is what caused my tongue to get fucked up
Mine got healed just for a week . I recommend eating rice with soup. but not the hot soup just a lil bit warm .
When I got mine done I ate everything as normal even when it's sore just avoided spicy and fizzy drinks
Does anyone have any advice on taking it out for good? Worried about food etc , had it in for 15 years
So i have a question. I couldnt find biotene mouthwash but i found one that was still alcohol free by crest. Would that still work or no
Day 1, is some bs🤦🏾♀️I was in pain
I'm so slow that I feel like I could find a way to choke on it🤦🏾♀️ how??? Idk don't ask me
I just got mine done like today and the thing is it kinda hurts when I talk, and also i'm afraid it will get infected from eating. Hearing you say it's a relative fast healing piercing helped a little😌
Overdosed Mia Wallace did it hurt getting it pierced?
@@myrdeazjah3497 not at all, I swear. I believe it's because you're full of adrenaline or nervous. (I had a labret and it hurted a lot, so I though this one would too) Of course it depends on the person, but that was my experience
Hey so like what size is the big bar?
Once you go to a piercer they give you A Long Bar,what size is that one?is it 16g?
Does it scab? I have some extra tissue around it, I have been coming in contact with hot foods and lemon and orange drinks, could that have caused it? Should I be worried??
Very very helpful !!!! Simple nd easy explanation. Thank you !!
My family only buys whitening toothpaste. Is that fine to brush my teeth with? I don't have the mouthwash so I'm going to go the salt water route.
Lily Knight mouth wash is like 4$ bruh if you gonna get it done why not do it correctly... just sayin
Does this go for the venom scoop peircing as well? Or is it a different type of peircing ?
I'm getting mine done tomorrow. I never thought about it until now, but like I can't breathe through my nose, never could, I need to breathe through my mouth. If my tongue swells to the point where I can't breathe at all, Imma take it out. Now I'm paranoid I will die from suffocation or something in my sleep.
so can you not smoke while it’s healing ? and for the swelling is it hard to talk at all or would it be better to have it done in the summer with no school
I can’t wait I have to wait a month before I’m 14 till I’m old enough to get it but I’m so excited
Where about do you live as I’m 14 on may the 21st and I’m planning on getting it done but not sure how old you have to be I live in the UK btw 💕
@@demiellington6004 so I live in America but age depends on the state and tattoo parlor cause in Colorado you have yo be 14 and in Minnesota you can be 14 but you just have to call a few places
@@renirae6563 alright thanks for getting back to me ! I will call a few places up I have looked online aswell but you can’t always trust the internet
Yeah good luck with that one as you have to be 18 to get a tongue piercing and anyone that does it under age of 18 isn't a professional or reputable
Thanks for the video! Very informative
I have had the snake eye piercing for 2 month the first week all the pain and swelling went away but like 4 days ago on one side it's swollen and it hurts should I take it out
Anyone have advice in lymph coming out of piercing? Or is it infected?? Its kind if a yellowish color, I got my piercing almost 2 weeks ago but I ripped it eating because I wasnt eating soft foods, is it just trying to heal the rip? Or should I see my piercer?
Idk maybe I have a high pain tolerance(?), but I didn’t feel any pain during these last few days or even the actual piercing. I ate a burger right after.
Just got mine done today and I don't know how long I can take😅
Is it okay to brush your teeth as normal? When brushing my teeth does it matter what type of toothpaste i use? Also is it okay if i brush my tongue with my toothbrush (around the actual piercing ofc) or should i avoid doing that, if so until what week can i start brushing my tongue again.
Your supposed to continue as normal with brushing just instead of a medium toothbrush you need a very soft brush as with a fresh piercing you will have some white gunk come out of it which is nothing to freak out about as it's just white blood cells trying to form a scab but as the mouth is moist a scab won't form
The long bar is hurting the roof/bottom of my mouth so much I can’t wait to put in a shorter one.
Me as well I’m in day 3
I just got mine done. Will it always hurt when you bump it against your teeth or is it just cause mine is fresh? And will a smaller bar help prevent tooth damage
got mine a couple hours ago! my tongue hasn't swollen at all (only the first 10 minutes right when i got it) and doesn't hurt at all. wouldnt even notice if it wasnt for the bar lol cant wait to downsize it
I got my tongue pierced 4 days ago and I swear this is the guy who pierced me
That’s cool 😊
I got mine done today and it’s not that hard to speak I took pain meds so it doesn’t hurt at all rn but I can’t eat comfortably and it swells but it’s good :)
I already know my healing process is gonna suck bc I gotta drink orange juice everyday for my meds 😭
So I need some help here it’s my third day with my tongue piercing and it’s bleeding do I need to wash my mouth every time or no ?
I'm getting my tongue pierced tomorrow I'm so excited and kind of scared. I want to know, how can I tell if my piercer is at least experienced in tongue piercings? I've only had ear piercings so this is a big thing for me. I would appreciate any answers. :_:
Violet Watts hope everything went well, you just have to ask your piercer, you should trust them before getting pierced 😊
Usually if you go to a tattoo shop there’s professional piercers who has pierced just about anything. So as long as they are licensed and work at a public place you should be okay! Good luck on that piercing
I got my tongue pierced 3 days ago and it’s so swollen and like the top of my tongue feels numb/burnt, is that normal or not? I’m not sure if it’s infected or not 🤷♀️ I literally can’t eat because I can’t chew, my tongue hurts when I move it 😕
....they might've hit a nerve or something. I just got mine double pierced and I had no numb or burn sensations. You might want to get a doctor to look at it.
Princesa Tbh it depends. I got it yesterday and the underside hurts a lot but the top is not really that bad
Princesa Tbh It sounds like you're tastebuds are inflamed. That happened to me too and it was completely normal. Different people have different reactions. All of the videos, I've watched about tongue piercings don't mention it; which is weird.
My tongue piercing is new day 3 it had a little blood around it not bad I've been using biotene mouth rinse it seems to helps is what I'm doing ok?
I just got snake eyes how can i make it heal faster im doing hot water w/salt idk if tht helps
Do you know a good website to go to for snake eyes tongue ring replacements the past time I tried getting a curved tongue ring it was too short so I need your advice on that
so I got mine done like 2 days ago and it's really swollen right now, i have a big ass lisp and can't eat :'D i just wanted to know if dairy products were bad for the tongue especially yogurt
Question, so do you use biotene and salt water rinse, or can I get away with just the biotene often?
All distilled water is , is boiled water which you can use normal tap water and a kettle and boil it and for the first few weeks salt and water or non alcohol antiseptic mouth wash such as corsydol is a requirement
Hi I just got my tongue pierced yesterday and when I woke up the front left side of my tongue was red. Should I take it out or wait a little longer to see if it will go down?
I need piercer advice:
I got my tongue pierced yesterday and despite the normal after effects I FEEL THIS SORENESS AND PAIN IN MY CHIN AND THROAT, FAR BACK MY PIERCING SPOT!!! if anyone has had a similar experience as me and is still alive PLEASE LET ME KNOW OR EXPLAIN BECAUSE AFTER GOOGLING IT, I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A WOMAN WHO DIED FROM BLOOD POISONING, CLAIMING TO HAVE HAD A SORE THROAT AFTER GETTING IT DONE . Im scared for my life ☺ ! Help?
xhoana are you still alive dude?
Hi guys some advice on what to eat would be much appreciated!
what food would you say it's okay to eat? I'm still debating if I should get mine done
Ayye Nena i've had mine for 8 days now and i started with ice pops, ice cream, instant mashed potato and sorbet. now i can eat most foods with the exception of spicy food (as it is not yet healed and it will cause irritation) and foods that are extremely hard and jagged e.g. potato chips
Beth C oh okay awesome thank you(:
Soups too probably would be good
I got my tongue pierced last week now i have a pink ring around the top ball its not infected swelling is down the pink ring is sore to touch i’ve been using biotene mouth wash and recently started using salt rinse nothing seem to be helping any advice?
I pierced my tongue 2 days ago. Whenever i try to eat something it hurts. Is it normal for tongue to be white at this period?
Question asap: do you have to go back to your piercer to change to a shorter bar or can you just change it yourself? I had a pretty sucky piercer and I can’t find any information on if I have to or not :/
you can do it yourself !!! just be careful
Nah you don't as long as you know the length width and gage of the bar the piercer used
i need advice , got my tongue pierced yesterday and since then theirs an awful taste left in my mouth even after brushing my teeth or use mouth wash ... is that normal and will it go away ?
Hi I hope not to disturb, I just have a doubt about tongue piercings. I had mine done two months and a half ago. It doesn't hurt anymore, sometimes it just kind of burns a little when I eat spicy food, because I'm Mexican. xD
I admit that I haven't thoroughly taken care of my piercing, but I believe by now should be healed.
I was a smoker but I haven't smoke since I had it done (well just once, a cigarette).
Now the thing is that, my piercing is still suppurating some whitish-greenish (sorry for my poor English skills). Is not that much but It worries me because it's not completely white (it does look white on my tongue but when I remove it I realise it looks kinda green) What concerns me is that i don't feel my tongue is infected I don't see any other signs, it doesn't hurt, it's not swollen or red. You mentioned that eating spicy food or citrus might lengthen healing process.
Have you ever had customers whose piercings took more than three months to heal?
I'd really appreciate your help. And I promise to start to take it serious. I really want to keep my piercing, I love it.
I really want to get mine pierced but I start my job in a week and I don’t want to talk weird when I first get my job. So I’m gonna wait till I’ve had my job for a month and then get it pierced
Hey Matt, how do you feel about getting a tongue piercing with a fissured tongue? will healing and after care differ? i cant do acidic items anyways, but, i know a lot of people say mouth wash, but i cant do mouth wash either.
My tongue didn't swell at all. Lol, my gf was annoyed coz she said hers was huge afterwards, the long bar is annoying though and eating was difficult, didn't avoid kissing or oral sex either, I just rinsed after with an alcohol free chlorhexidine mouth wash, after 2 weeks it was fine and I started splitting it with dental floss and now 3 weeks later it is looking great and not sore at all, even eating spicy food again, in the past 5 weeks my tongue has been pierced and split and I had about a week of moderate discomfort between the piercing healing and the actual splitting and a week of mild discomfort as the split healed, no bother really!
Since I have controlled diabetes type 1 (I mentioned "controlled" especially since my healing process is pretty normal), what foods would be recommended during the first few days after getting the tongue pierced?:)
Mackenzie Poulton I was told liquids. No citrus, dairy, or spicy foods for at least the first 2 weeks. Other than that, it's whatever you want that won't hurt when you eat.
Okay I’ve a question.
It’s been 2 weeks and 2 days since I got my tongue pierced. It’s a snake eyes piercing.
So my question is
Is it okay to smoke now or should I wait longer?
I smoked the first week just sea salt Rinse right after like talks in video
I never stopped smoking lmao youll be fine
