I got my tongue pierced about two days ago and it wasn't bad at all! It
sounds like it should be with a rod going through straight muscle in your
mouth. But I'm 17 and my eyes only watered a tad bit, and my face got a
little hot (like when you get a shot) and that's it! I tried eating some
solids but that was a big bust so now I'm just drinkin a lot of water, eating
a lot of soup and yogurt. My tongue is really swollen though which isn't a
good thing because my mom doesn't know about my tongue ring yet and it's hard
to talk properly. Hehe. But so far so good! (knock on wood). I'm drinkin ice
cold water right now and I'm rinsing my mouth out after everything I'm
eating/drinking. I heard that zinc helps to heal the piercings so I'm
starting to take some more vitamins. It's hard to keep a well balanced diet
with a sore tongue thought, that's my only problem. I can't wait till the
swelling goes down though, and I'm able to thoroughly enjoy my ring :)
