I want to get my tongue pierced...but a bit differently. I've seen one picture and I'm not sure where saw it...the girl had her tongue pierced horizantally, so when she stuck out her tongue..both balls were on the top of her tongue. Since seeing that picture, I have never heard of anyone getting it pierced like that, but I am very intrigued...anyone have any insites (sp?) on this...I'm been thinking nonstop of how they could actually pierce like that...and what the healing would be...if it even would be any different...thanks!!!

It may have been www.bmezine.com that you saw it on. I think they look really neat, but I would be worried about it hindering the movement of the tongue
*shrugs*

I just went there..cant find it...I saw the horizontal pics they had there.....but this girl, the balls were on TOP of the tongue, where you normally see only one......those pics...the balls were at the side.....

Hmmmm... I am assuming it was pierced with a surface bar or a curved bar. have you tried searching google for 'horizontal tongue piercings'?

No I havent....such an obvious thing to do! Doh!!! Thank you!!!!

Could you possibly be thinking about viper piercings? A viper piercing is simply two vertical piercings, each performed on either side of the tongue.

In my opinion, a surface piercing on the tongue would be a very dangerous piercing. There would be a high risk of severing major blood vessels as well as nerve bundles.

Is this what you mean (minus the blue tongue)?

I think the one in the pic is actually 2 venoms, because there's another BME pic that someone recently linked that has the same jewelry and placement on a girl with venoms.

Mean this one?

Honestly think it would hinder alot of movements for the tongue and would be very tricky to speak correctly with..But it looks neat none the less

Horizontal tongue piercings can cause some pretty serious speech impediments......
