I have has mine done twice, because it got infected. The clamps do hurt when they are prepping you for the piercing. The piercing did not for me. The healing can also be painful. Keep it clean if you get it, and use a mixture of 1/2 mouthwash, 1/2 water to rinse after you eat, drink or smoke if you do. Also if you have any metal allergies, like to nickel, I reccommend that you do NOT get pierced. It is a bigger pain then it is worth. Literally. Also get silver or gold jewelry or plastic if you do have metal allergies. Don't go cheap because it will get infected and infections in your head are very serious. Now for the 2nd part of your question, should you get it done? That is a very personal question, it will affect how people look at you and what types of jobs you can get. Hope that helps.

The piercing itself hurt a little, what hurts is when they pull out your tongue cause they have to clamp down on your tongue hard to get a grip on it...I was concentrating on that pain and barely felt the actual piercing.

It's not necessarily bad but you should wait until you are 18 for a few reasons.  First, your body needs to be mature enough to handle a peircing.  11 is a little to young to be starting body peircings.  Secondly, you need to make a mature decision about this.  Why do you want to get it done?  Probably because everyone else is doing it and you want to look cool. That is the wrong reason.  Any decision you ever make in your life needs to be for you and only you.  Don't let anyone else influence your life, you only need to care about you.  Sorry to go off on a tangent but I don't understand why you would want to get this done.  I have 9 peircings and I waited until I was 18 or older to get them.  That's what I suggest you do too.  And yes it does hurt and it takes a long time to heal.  You have to take care of it and clean it every day.

oh man, i feel your pain.  i used to have the same problem as you where i could feel it every time i swallowed (like popcorn kernel stuck to the back of my tongue).  then i did some research on it and saw that most people who have them use something to remove it.  i would not recommend using anything sharp b/c it will make your tonsil bleed.  you don't want to risk some weird infections.  \n\ni usually use my finger (make sure your nails are trimmed) and push on it and it comes out.  i also get them on my left tonsil and they grow every few weeks.  its disgusting but i just don't want to have my tonsils removed (i've read that tonsillectomy is horribly painful for adults).

initial pain and healing time aside, I would go tongue - you can show it off when you want to, but it's not a problem if you need to hide it for any reason (like work) because you can put a clear bar in and voila!  Also, if you are not 100% sure, at least if you change your mind then you won't have a little scar leftover where everyone can see :P\nI have never heard of any higher incidence of cancer in people with certain piercings.  Remember, it is not an open wound, the skin completely heals so the smoke wouldn't be getting into your bloodstream at all from the actual piercing...

I wouldn't suggest it, I had a friend do it and it got so infected and her lip swelled so badly she looked deformed, she had to go to the doctor and get on a bunch of antibiotics and was off work for a week, it was awful and yes, it hurt her like crazy. Please have a professional do it, it really isn't that expensive and your health is more important than saving a few bucks, in the end my friend spend more on doctor care than she would have if she had her lip pierced by a professional.

It feels like a quick pinch. I think the best ways to think about any piercing is, if it hurt that bad, most people wouldn't have gotten it done. And how many people have theirs pierced? Also, any "pain" you feel is generally over in less than 5 sec (if that). All you have to remember is getting through those few seconds, and then afterwards you can look back at how silly it was to be scared. And you'll have a brand new piercing that looks fabulous.

Yes that is normal. You said your self you got the cartalidge peirced, that is the most sensitive tissue because its thicker. It takes a while to heal. So it while be painful, maybe even up to a year after. Just keep it clean so it doesnt get infected, that would hurt worse.

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!

I have it done, and I can tell you that it is EXTREMELY easy to get off....but it is not the same for everyone.  If you are considering getting pierced, you should definitely make sure you go to a safe, reputable piercing facility with highly experienced professionals no matter what piercing you get.  And remember that no matter what you are having done there are always risks as well as benefits!

Ask them to apply some numb spray before you get pierced. That makes it painless.

I did, when I was about eight or nine.\nIt's not painful at all.\nI lost it once, and i kept grinding my teeth right through it.\nBut there was no real problems.\nJust make sure you don't put it in right after you eat, ew!

Anything can happen if you do a piercing at home. I highly advise against this practice. Since you do not have the proper equipment to sterilize or even to perform the piercing, any number of things could go wrong--including serious risk of infection. Go someplace professional and have it done. Sure you may pay a little bit of money for it, but in the long run you will save money--if you did it yourself and got it infected, you'd have a lot of money tied up in doctor bills and medicines. Not worth it!

your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist,  but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.

Hmm. This sounds like an infection.\nYou need to see a doctor soon. He/she will probably prescribe an antibiotic, remove the stud & advise you to leave it out & let your tongue heal up. Frankly, I'd be inclined to agree.

There might be.  I just had one done in Jan. They numbed me up, and used a little device to cut out a piece of my gum.  Then they drilled up into the bone and then inserted a metal type post.  Sounds like it could be painful, but really the worst was the numbing up and that wasn't bad at all!  After the numbness wore off I had to take some pain medicine that day and my retainer felt a bit tight the next week.  Other than that, it went so well.  It's healing now, but I think if I were to need another one, I definitely would.  Hope this helps!
