i just got my tongue pierced like an hour ago.so i figuered i'd write alittle about my experience.. all i'm going to say is that it hurt like hell, but it was worth the pain. my tongue hasn't swelled yet.i've wanted to get it done forever and now that i have it i love it already except for the pain. so if anyone is thinking about getting their tongue pierced... if you really want it go for it, just put up with the pain for a while.
