Not really. When I got mine done, it swelled up for a few days, but never really bled.

Bleeding is a really good indication. Healthy gums don't bleed. If you're brushing too hard, they will not only bleed, but will recede as well. See your dental hygienist.

It's not really that exciting of a piercing, and depending on your ta-ta's size, you may not have a choice as to what kind of ring you put in it. I have large ones, so I had posts similar to those used in the tongue. Plus, because something is always rubbing against it, it gets infected easily. I would not recommend it. I had to take mine out for surgery, and I really didn't miss them.\nI also had a below the belt piercing, and those are hot, but if you are pierced to close to a nerve you get that pain-pleasure thing, which isn't always nice. Good luck!

It's one a few things: Strep is the main and most common cause. See your doctor about that. If you've accidentally had something jab into that part of your mouth, it could be a slight bruise, which nothing is bad about that. No harm. Or it could be from buelemia (eating disorder, sp?). I had the redness, and asked my doctor.

i also have my tongue pierced and this is what worked for me. first off, it should only take about 3 days for the swelling to go down. in the meantime, suck on ice cubes every once in awhile, the little ones work best. also they tell u not to eat anything dairy but i did. everytime u eat drink, smoke, put anything in your mouth, rinse it out with Listerene, the Original flavor,(the other flavors tend to irritate it because of the dyes) for about two weeks. after the two weeks, rinse out every other day.  \nif you are prone to infections then it may be the type of jewelry, or just not proper care. also ask your piercer about "deep cleanings".

Your saliva could cause the glass to quickly cool, causing it to shatter.  That would be particularly painful.\n\nThen as an after effect, should your tongue touch one of the filament electrodes, you would also receive a painful electric shock.\n\nNow, if we're talking flashlight bulbs, then you probably have little to worry about as far as the occurence of either of these.

Yes, tongue piercings can be done with steel, but only 316LVM or higher grade surgical stainless steel. Any lower grade steel should not be used under any circumstances.

I have and yes it does ... keep a cold compress on hand to minimize the bleeding.  After it falls out, use warm salt water mixture to rinse out the mouth

It can be pretty dangerous as it is possible to hit the nerve in your tongue with the piercing tool.  This would permanently paralyze your tongue so if that sounds like an ok sacrifice, go for it.

Yes it is called Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease--yes I'm serious,  do a Google search on it.  An allergic reaction can also cause your tongue to swell--be careful!  Sometimes if you have a bad throat infection your tongue can become inflamed.  An iron deficiency can cause tongue swelling as well.

My mother works for an oral surgeon and I am familiar with wisdom teeth extractions. This is normal for you to still have some bleeding. If it continues by Tuesday, I would recommend that you call the surgeon. \nAs far as dry socket, you will know right away if you develop this. It is pretty painful. Keep rinsing with the salt water, and you should be fine. Avoid drinking things through a straw, this will make things worse.\nThanks and I hope you're feeling better soon!

Like any piercing, it can be dangerous if the place you get it done at is not sterile. Some complications besides infection from an insterile needle include: \n\n1. Chipped or Broken Front Teeth \nThe majority of patients we see with tongue barbells wind up with chips, cracks or fractures in their front teeth. These have to be repaired with fillings or crowns.\n\n\n2. Gum Surgery \n\nWe've had to refer patients to periodontists for surgical correction of damage caused by rubbing tongue barbells.\n\n3. It can go down the wrong way. \nThe barbell can come un-screwed and wind up in a lung.\n\n\nApparently there are cases of people DYING (http://www.drhendry.ca/InfoAndLinks/TonguePiercing/Piercing.html) <---shows some pretty gross pictures, beware. \n\nAnyways, I would imagine most of these are extreme cases. In my opinion, it isn't really worth the risk! Your heath is most important!
