i been wanting my tongue pierced since 8th grade!!! i got tierd of waiting, so by the end of senior year i just hadda get it. so my mom was gone for the weekend & i told her i was getting it. i wanted to go to cool cat (hott guy works there) by my work, but they were closed. so my boyfriend took me and said he was my brother (i got no brothers!). the guy didn’t even care.he bought me cold water for after.

i filled out the paperwork…..we looked around about 5 min. then went to the back room, i sat on a chair…….he had to raise it really high b/c i’m short. i rinsed my mouth, he put the dots and said to leave my tongue out. i didn’t even get to look at the position with a mirror!!!

he clamped my tongue, then it was over like 1/2 a second later. i thought it would hurt, but it didn’t hurt at all. i didn’t bleed or drool. i psyched myself out & i didn’t think about it hurting. it felt kinda good to get it done, i was relieved & happy as hell that i FINALLY got it. he gave me a free barbell…..light pink bendy bar, and black w/ dark pink striped ball.

he put the barbell in……didn’t even feel it. my tongue wasn’t even numb or anything. i talked fine right after, like i wasn’t even pierced. my tongue was swollen for about 4-5 days but not really noticable. i hated the yellow coloring & how the little ring started growing up. i was scared my tongue would be swollen like my friend’s….she couldn’t even close her mouth!!! my sis’s & friends made fun of my lysp……and it was hard to say words with “L’s”……oh and some spanish words with “rr’s”

i didn’t take any pain medicine, (so to those of you who did…..you’re pussies), didn’t sleep with my head the proper way, didn’t use cleaning solution….just brushed my teeth & tongue. i got sooo hungry, i started eating 2 days after. i hadda be careful to not bite the ball. i still have to be careful, but i’m mostly used to it.

i’ve had it for 3 weeks today…..the original barbell was really long since the sweeling went down completely. i changed the barbell 2 days ago…..to a shorter bar. the balls are bigger, but i love it. i already bought other barbells (retainer for work)(barbell with red background, black star logo).

i’m planning on getting another piercing…..one across the top of my tongue, instead of vertical…..i also want a genital hood piercing.

i recommend tongue piercings to whoever still hasn’t gotten it…..GET IT!! i would do it all over again if i could….wait i can….oops. well my boyfriend loves it (teehee!) can’t wait to see how oral will be different with it. i LOVE playing with it, biting the ball, clickng it against my teeth, pushing it up or down a little so it stings, sticking it out at people, & showing it off.

I’ve had ear piercings since I was ten years old, starting with the usual ear lobe, then later on, I got my cartilage done, then second lobes and so on and so forth. I had been toying with the idea of a new and different piercing recently, so when a friend mentioned that he was getting people together to get pierced, I was pretty much on board.

Since I am still defiantly not ready to get any piercings away from the ears, I decided to research into what I could get on my ear. I wanted something different, so I did a bit of research, and found this web site. It had so many useful pictures and stories that helped me find out what I would like to get done.

Eventually, I had decided to get either the rook or the tragus… eventually settling on the tragus. I had never had a piercing done with a needle before and I was so terribly nervous, it was all I could think about for two days.

When the day finally came round, we set off into downtown Vancouver to Next! on Granville Street. The long car ride out there was painful to sit through, but well worth it in the end. We entered Next! which was incredibly hot inside, I guess because they lacked an air conditioner for the hot summer days that we were enduring. The main room was dark, with many different art pieces on the walls, tattoo artists sketching in their sketchbooks, a few casual customers browsing about. We walked up to the desk, I was trying my absolute best to seem calm and collected, which ended up working well in the end for me! Anyways, we filled out the necessary forms, saying how old we were, what we wanted to get done, we picked out jewelry, and discussed with the guy at the front desk what we were getting, and did the whole small talk nervous thing for a while.

After all was paid for all we had to do was wait for our piercer to be ready. We waited and waited, and finally, our piercer Kori emerged from the back rooms and another happy customer followed shortly behind, brand new piercing all finished and was showing it off to her friends and thanking Kori for her excellent job. Kori then came over to us, introduced herself, and again we did the small talk thing, and then we followed her to the back of the main room, into a hallway, which led to the rooms in the back for piercing.

I ended up having to go last of three people, but I was intent on watching the other two get their piercings so I got a basic idea of what to expect. The first piercing was snake bites, which technically counts as two I suppose, and the second one I watched was an eyebrow piercing. Both piercings went smoothly, which meant it was my turn to lie in the chair. I climbed up, proclaimed which ear was to be pierced and off she went to work.

First, she cleaned the area to be pierced, and then she marked it. She got the approval of myself and my friends and then told me to lie back in the chair and turn my head to the right (Since I was getting my left ear done.) She got the needle ready, and came round to the left side of the chair. Head turned, she got into position, and she told me to take deep breaths. As I did so, she watched and listened, and on the third breath, she inserted the needle. Now, as I said before, I read stories on here about getting this particular piercing, and everyone said that it was going to be very painful. For me, it really didn’t hurt as bas as I was preparing myself for, but it did however make a crunching noise as the needle was passing through (yuumm). The part that did hurt a bit was the actual inserting of the jewelry, but nothing that was unbearable or anything.

After the hoop was clamped closed, I had to pick a coloured ball for the hoop. I sat up, finally decided on a yellow one, and glanced in the mirror to admire it. As I did that, I noticed that I had blood dripping slowly down my neck, and was a little shocked. I defiantly didn’t think about the possibility of it bleeding for some reason. I got the attention of the piercer, who was sterilizing the ball, and she quickly cleaned it up, and assured me that I was done bleeding. She got me to lie back down, and inserted the ball to the hoop, checked one more time for blood, and I was all finished!

The pain from the tragus piercing, for me, was fairly minimal. I did get a bit of a weird tingly feeling in my jaw, and it hurt a bit to smile the next day, but other than that, only the expected tenderness that a fresh piercing will exhibit. The only weird thing was that it started to randomly bleed later on the day I got it pierced… in an ice cream shop… down my neck… nothing like a little blood to draw some attention to yourself!

All in all, I am so happy that I picked the tragus, but that is not to say that I wont go back for a rook later on my next piercing excursion!

Q: I was wondering if an endorphin rush or the rush that one gets when pierced could be lessened? When I got my vertical labret done, I gained a high that lasted for more than [an hour] and I wasn’t quite “all there” through the whole piercing process. I had to have my sister and friend with me, and even once it was all done I was walking drunk and slurring my words. I’d like to feel less of it so I could stay semi-conscious because it feels too much like a nasty drug trip.

A:There are a few physiological reasons your body could have reacted in this way. One could have simply been that you were way too worked up to begin with. The let-down after realizing something isn’t nearly as bad as you thought it would be can be as powerful as the initial endorphin rush. It could also be that your blood sugar was low from not eating sufficiently before your piercing. Always make sure to eat at least a light meal about an hour before any tattoo or piercing procedure, and if you’re really nervous or anxious, try some calming breathing exercises.

If the above techniques don’t work, I would suggest seeing your doctor to make sure that your heart and blood pressure are okay. You simply may release too many hormones when under stress and your doctor may be able to recommend other methods of preventing this in the future.

Body piercing is an invasive procedure and is not without risks. When properly performed, these risks can be minimized, and most individuals who receive their piercing from a professional piercer, and who take care of their new piercing as recommended by their piercer, will enjoy a safe and healthy piercing experience.

A nipple piercing 4 months after removing the jewelry, most likely an allergic reaction to the metal used

Risks of note include:
Allergic reaction to ingredients of products used to clean the new piercing, or of ancillary products used in proximity to the piercing (e.g., soap, hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, antibacterial products, antiseptic medicines, makeup, hairspray, swimming pool chlorine, etc.). This risk can be minimized by cleaning the piercing as recommended by a professional body piercer (different piercers will have differing recommendations), by not contaminating the fresh piercing with irritating products, and by not swimming in chlorinated water.
Chlorine from swimming pools may cause the pierced area to dry out, which may cause the piercing to be torn out very easily.
Allergic reaction to the metal in the piercing jewelry, particularly nickel. This risk can be minimized by using high quality jewelry manufactured from surgical stainless steel or similar inert metals.
Bacterial infection, particularly from Staphylococcus aureus. However, this risk is greatly reduced when the piercing is performed by a professional body piercer using best practice piercing techniques, and when appropriate steps are taken during the aftercare period to avoid infection. Blunt force piercing, such as that associated with the use of ear piercing instruments, increases the chance of a bacterial infections. For that reason, among others, piercing guns should never be used to pierce any part of the body other than earlobes.
Parasitic and protozoan infections may occur by swimming in lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans during the healing period. The best way to reduce this risk is to avoid swimming in these locations.
Excess scar tissue, which can be caused by improper piercing, cleansing, and stretching. This may result in loss of sensation and difficulty piercing and stretching that area of skin in the future.
Keloid formation can sometimes occur, particularly among people who are pre-disposed to this condition through heredity.
Trauma to a fresh piercing, usually associated with unintended entanglement of the piercing jewelry with another object. This risk is always present, but can be reduced by using jewelry appropriate for the piercing, and covering or taping over jewelry during sports activities. Also, larger gauge piercings will tend to resist tearing better than smaller gauge piercings.
Viral infection, particularly from hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. However, it is important to note that although hepatitis has been transmitted through the practices of ear piercing, body piercing, and tattooing, there have not been any documented cases of HIV transmission associated with these procedures (see CDC Fact Sheet: HIV and Its Transmission). As with bacterial infections, the risk of viral infection is minimized when proper piercing techniques are used, particularly by the use of autoclaved disposable piercing needles and the autoclaving of jewelry prior to installation.

Erosion of gums (in lip and tongue piercings). In some cases, gum bleeding can be induced. In extreme cases, teeth may fall out if there isn’t enough gum to hold them in place.
Piercing may become addictive. Psychologically, one may become addicted to the experience of obtaining a new piercing, or the response of one’s peers or oneself to the consequent alteration in body image
