ok so i always wanted a tounge piercing since i was 7 (im 16 now)because my cuz got heres done and i thought it was pretty cool.but my mother always said no when i asked for 1. so on my first trip 2 mexico last year i was downtown n mexico and i saw they had a tattoo shop so i went in and asked how much and it was only 35 dollars out there and i said ok p.s. they dont ask 4 i.d., so i watched the guy open a new pack of needles and watched him sterilize the ring and forceps and then he sat me down gave me this nasty mouth wash and marked my tounge clamped them with the forceps then took the needle and pierced str8 through i didnt even feel it the only thing i felt was him putn the ring in and then i was done but tht same night i tried 2 eat a steak and it was like HELL my tounge was so swollen so i just drank sum bottles of ice cold water.the next day my mom saw it and made me take it out. but as soon as i got back to the u.s. i got it done again and its just fine now it was pain free and i enjoy it,its almost fully heald so if u really want one go ahead and get one its totaly pain free!
