I've watched so many tongue piercing advice videos in the last 24hours and I just want to thank you for the simplicity of this.
You read all of our minds .. other peoples are click hate for views
"If you're a smoker, you should probably quit"lmaoo
Just got mine today and im feeling great. Having some difficulties eating tho
But obviously I'm sure you're not gonna quit 🤣😂
I can't eat 😣
I didn’t eat the whole first day. The second/third day I did just smoothies
omg want to do mine nw but scared lol
I used oral spray and it worked amazing and it. Healed so fast. While using the first week salt water it killed me with pain, but oral spray helped to numb my tongue and healed so much , just thought I’ll share this with use
What oral spray did you use? Was it over the counter?
Yes, I need the answer as well
Asap
Obeida Matar The oral spray didn't happen to be H2Ocean, did it?
So many people need you right now! What spray did you use
Just got piercing a few hours ago and idk if it’s just me, but it really wasn’t as painful as I’d thought it’d be lol. my tongue is definitely swollen as hell right now, but it’s tolerable! 😁
how’s it now
@@angelinaAGES fully healed lol
today is my first day w this long ass bar stabbed into my tongue
wish me luck 💀
I might get one tomorrow so good luck
Tell me, does it get better?
me too can’t eat bro
Same 😩
Yeah bro fuck this,😂
Finally after 15 years of chickening out i got mine done
I'm getting my tongue pierced on my 18th birthday in three weeks. I've done a ton of research and this video perfectly sums up everything in the simplest way possible. I wish I had watched this before I read 50 articles that all said this in a far more complicated way.
So, how was it?
@@fernandon3926 Had it for about a month now and I love it lol
@@izabellaodom6753 what about now, what was the healing process like? if you’re okay to answer
@@nadiaruiz1945 it did swell for the first two-ish weeks, hard to eat and hard to speak for a long time. It gave me a lisp until the swelling went down. I took mouthwash and saline and a toothbrush with me to school every day and followed the aftercare to a T, so I didn't have any problems with the healing. Overall it took about a month to get back to normal speaking and eating. It takes a little bit to get used to eating with a ball in your mouth and I've chomped on the ball a few times but I haven't hurt my teeth yet. I forget I have it in a lot but I love it. It's become a big part of my self expression and I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon. 10/10 definitely recommend (if you can deal with the healing)
@@izabellaodom6753 thank you so much!!
getting mine in probably a week im so nervous so im binge watching all these videos lol!!
update: ive had it for almost a week now and im suffering i miss food so much and my tongue hurts like a bitch ughhh hope this shit heals soon
How is it now?
I don’t wanna scare you but you might wanna get that checked out by a doctor ASAP because it shouldn’t be super painful after a week
Update they died
I got my tongue piercing from you about 3 years ago and I was so nervous I had my cousin holding my hand and as soon as the needle went thru I was all like “that was nothin” lmao unfortunately I had to take it out two weeks later due to my school not having piercings and it broke my heart. That piercing was in the perfect spot and following your aftercare instructions made the pain tolerable afterwards. Thank you I plan on getting that piercing again
Did the hole close after you took it out
@@friendlyhoe1399 well if they said they are planning on getting it pierced again then obv it closed
Love this, already booked my appointment at my local piercers. All the other videos always worry/scare me but this was very chilled back and informative
Edit: I've had it done for a week now and I love it, the healing is a pain but that lasts about a week but it's worth it!
Phil Gutierrez how is it doing ???
Getting mine tomorrow this is the best advise video I've watched to calm the nerves a get everything I need ready. Thank you so much dude.
I bought body jewelry from you guys before I realized you had a UA-cam channel. I was really happy with the jewelry. I'm for sure buying from you guys again!
I just came across this video, and i have watched at least a 100 tongue piercing videos. I took my tongue piercing yesterday and I think that your explanation was so simple to follow. Thank you!
Got mine done 4 days ago, it's uncomfortable but I can eat easier now and I've changed my bar to a shorter one, its definitely more comfortable. I love it, definitely hope to keep it for a long time
ive had mine fore about two weeks now and its is really easy to eat and talk
I got mine 4 days ago too.. i was told not to change it with in 2 or 3 weeks..
+Marie Caudillo it all depends on the person. My first two tongue piercings i had the long bar cause of swelling. But for my 3rd and 4th tongue piercings i changed to a normal length bar cause i had little to no swelling. I
+Marie 🍄 +Marie 🍄 I talked to my piercer and he switched my front one (I have 4 in a diamond shape) to a flat plate (maybe he even used a lip stud, idk) cause it was so close to my teeth I couldn't close my mouth comfortably. I had no issue's what so ever. And of course it hurt. But what I personally did was put numbing liquid like for a toothache and put it on top and make it go down the hole so it's numb and that's tolerable.
How long did u wait to change it after it swell and how long did u wait to eat
Watched this video before getting my tongue pierced and I’m super pleased with how mine turned out. This was very informative and very lovely and simple
I had my tongue pierced about 5-6 years now. My pain was very minimal maybe a 2/10 but everyone is different. Healing was a breeze and only the first 3 days were difficult to eat. By day 7 I could speak perfectly normal and by week 2 the super long bar is not a bother at all I actually didn’t care to change it. 6 years later i completely forget it’s there sometimes lol i probably won’t ever take it out
I’m getting my tongue done this week can’t wait and this video helped so much 😊
You are awesome man, your video is simple and informative. Keep up the good work 👌
I love how simple u made it sound to be thank you much appreciated
I've had mine for 3 days now and I'm good. I've been using salt water to clean and today I've decided to start using non - alcoholic mouth wash after using the salt water.. I can eat some solid foods but still being very careful.. Anti - Inflammatory pills helped with the swelling but i took them before I slept
what mouth wash did you use ???
This video is the best one yet!
I got mine yesterday night. Today it’s a first day healing process. Anyway THANK YOU sir for the video! Really helps me alot
this is a very informative video , thank u :).. i just got a new tongue piercing and this video helped a lot
I’m lucky I have a bad overbite, so my piercing doesn’t hit my teeth XD
lilkimimaro I’m getting mine done on Sunday and I also have a overbite :)) his makes me feel a bit better thank you
underbites are better because most issues are with the bottom row of your mouth
Same😍
Jenny. Xo mine never hits my teeth ever and I have an overbite 😭
Same🤣
Getting mine done in 3 hours, and this is super helpful and easing my nerves
Yoo how did it go?
Its my second day and i am soooo Hungry.
It did swell like à hour later to it's max yesterday,
But today is cool no pain, m'y mouth just feels wierd with the bar Bell in there.
I'm getting a tongue piercing in like a week(I've been waiting for months, it's so close!), so I've been looking up the after care stuff so thank you for this video!
Very very helpful !!!! Simple nd easy explanation. Thank you !!
Getting my piercing after work today this was a really reassuring vid thanks 😊
Just got mine done today. It is my favourite piercing by far!
Michelle Walser I got mine 3 days ago and the only thing that’s annoying me is with how long the bar is and having slurred speech but other then that I love it.
Thanks for the video! Very informative
I just got mine done today and this helps a lot.
I love my tongue piercing. I’ve had it for two years now. I munched on a lot of ice the first few days to help with the soreness and swelling. I switched my bar to a shorter bar the moment I was able to and my piercer would allow it. I’ve never had issues with it rubbing against my teeth or gums. I didn’t have issues eating after. My piercer told me to keep it soft and nothing that could wrap around the jewelry. It’s fallen out once and that’s the only issue I’ve had with it.
do you still have it?
My tongue piercing was fine but the healing was excruciating. It hurt for 14 days then that last day it didnt at all. I've had it for almost 6 years and i love it.
Love this video - got mine yesterday and i kinda feel crazy with the pain and swelling already, suuuucks knowing i have a few more weeks of this and not being able to really eat (or drink haha) but it's kinda like a diet and rehab all rolled into one 😂😭
exactly!!!! lol
I’m getting mine pierced tomorrow thank you for this
had mine 7 months now love it the little ball studs come off sometimes when I'm eating bit annoying lol but love it glad I got it done:)
Thank you for making this! I am planning on getting mine pierced today.
I want to do mine but I can't have a swolen tongue for more than 4 days because then I'll have work and I have to talk alot!
Haha that's literally what I'm doing. I work weekends so I'm getting it after work on Sunday so i have the whole week to heal before i go back to work
I literally talk for a living I work in a Chinese 😂I’m at work tonight n I’m getting it done this afternoon 😩
I work at fast-food 😂😂 and I work all week
When I got mine done and it only was swollen for about 5 days. It really depends on the person
I ended up doing under the tongue, not swollen or weird talking at all!!
Just got mine done yesterday! ♥️
Got mine pierced about 4 hours ago out of the blue, no planning but I've got all the mouthwash and everything, but this vid is helping a lot
I wanna get mines this was very informative thank you😘
Very nice job explaining.
I got my tongue pierced like a week ago and so far the healing process has been great lol hasn’t been sore yet, and my tongue didn’t even swell that much... I was eating salt n vinegar chips on day one😂
omg same
well aren’t you lucky , do you still have it
😆😆
15 yrs now wow...I still have mine in ...its been forgotten about at times for years ...but I keep it as a novelty and it was the worst experience ever first 3 weeks ...
1left2theright 4him do I have to keep using the salt water after I eat after a month
1left2theright 4Jc ur scaring me 😭😂
Jimena Sola That was 15 years ago. It’s a lot different now.
I got my tongue pierced yesterday.. and it's crooked and the pain is horrible sometimes... I'm so scared to brush my teeth
howd that end up ?
Got mines pierced yesterday, had it done at an angle. I dont have any swelling or pain at all, the only thing is the long bar. I did have to change it today because the long barbell was digging into my tongue at an angle and leaving a long dent down the middle of my tongue. When I took it out it was very irritated and pus-y I’ve been using zero alcohol listerine after each meal and twice a day when I brush my teeth. Once I rinsed it and changed the bar to a slightly shorter one all the irritation, gone. Also my speech is 100% better. 😌
Mine didn't even hurt. It bled excessively when I got it done but otherwise it was fine. The next day I literally got punched in the jaw by a resident jamming the ends of the piercings into my upper and lower palettes so I'm just constantly in pain now. I try not to take meds, I try not to eat, I try not to talk a lot because everything is painful now.
I do not recommend a punch to the jaw. Love the healthcare business.
This helped so much
Thank you, you made me so much better about what's going on with mine. Oxox
I got my tongue pierced yesterday. I got a slushy right after it. It doesn’t hurt that bad :/ its kinda swollen but it’s not as bad as I thought it was gonna be.
I just mine done yesterday. I love ittttt
That neck tatt 😍😍👌🏽
I’m getting mine done on Saturday and this was really helpful omg I’m so excited
I'm getting mine this Saturday 🤦🏾♀️🤣
Pain level 1-10?
@@Shon9tilR it was honestly my least painful piercing, I dead ass didn’t feel anything
Oh okay & how was your healing experience?
@@mwendekilatya6414 it hinestly wasn’t as bad as I expected, I think the only issues I had was that the bar was just so long it couldn’t sit comfortably in my mouth. I didn’t have much swelling eating was kinda hard but I just cut little pieces and ate soft foods for maybe 5ish days I believe. But other than that It’s my favorite piercing ever. I would recommend just switching it out whenever your piercer says it’s fine to do so and finding the perfect bar length nothing too long or too short and you should be perfectly fine
i love and appreciate all your videos i watch them when ever i think of getting a new piercing
Just got my venom bites done (2 bars, through both muscles), swelling is such a bitch. I got it done 5 days ago, I haven't been able to eat anything, other than cold soup and applesauce. Tried eating a piece of cheese today, R.I.P. my tongue. I miss fast food so much😭 I also still have a "lisp" still, I'm excited to be able to talk again!
My piercer also told me NOT to use mouthwash, just saltwater soak... After 3 days I caved and bought some biotene alcohol-free mouthwash. Helped immensely!
got mine pierced yesterday. the swelling is no joke but honestly my belly button was 100x worse than this if that tells yall anything. i ate nothing yesterday but today i ate steak! just cut up tiny pieces and use ur fingers to put it on your back teeth. love the piercing. thanks for your video❤️
Thank you so much
I just got my tongue pierced again after 5 years & the second go around is much easier. However, the piercer decided not to pierce in the same spot but next to it & i am happy with it
Now its trying to ride this healing process out once again.
I got my tongue pierced two weeks ago and the the tongue piercing itself is healing Well. However, the swelling has not gone down a lot. If i stick my tongue out I have plenty of room on the bar but it’s still Puffy.
Best video. Thanks ks
I did mine yesterday and this swelling is already old🤣😭 I can't wait for it to heal lol
got mine a couple hours ago! my tongue hasn't swollen at all (only the first 10 minutes right when i got it) and doesn't hurt at all. wouldnt even notice if it wasnt for the bar lol cant wait to downsize it
I was super unlucky, I got my tongue pierced about 2 days ago and the day after I caught a cold, I probably should've waited since my family was sick but I didn't, I'm just praying it doesn't get infected
Love this👍🏼
You're awesome!
Planning to get this done for my birthday so here comes all the research lol
Eat ice all day before getting it done.
i got my tongue done 3 months ago and my piercer said wait a month to change the bar... but i went to get my nose pierced and that piercer (20 yrs experience) said to wait until the swelling is gone(2 weeks), and because i waited longer, my tongue started to rip, so i have raised skin on my tongue now from the long bar sitting at an angle. she said the tongue is fully healed in 2 months and waiting a month to change the bar to a short one is what caused my tongue to get fucked up
I got mine done today and it’s not that hard to speak I took pain meds so it doesn’t hurt at all rn but I can’t eat comfortably and it swells but it’s good :)
Thanks bro!
Thank you
I needed to hear a professional 😭
I can’t wait I have to wait a month before I’m 14 till I’m old enough to get it but I’m so excited
Where about do you live as I’m 14 on may the 21st and I’m planning on getting it done but not sure how old you have to be I live in the UK btw 💕
@@demiellington6004 so I live in America but age depends on the state and tattoo parlor cause in Colorado you have yo be 14 and in Minnesota you can be 14 but you just have to call a few places
@@renirae6563 alright thanks for getting back to me ! I will call a few places up I have looked online aswell but you can’t always trust the internet
Yeah good luck with that one as you have to be 18 to get a tongue piercing and anyone that does it under age of 18 isn't a professional or reputable
i had my tongue pierced for almost a year, i miss it so much 🥺
Weird thing is it'll still be open on the top I got mine done in 2013 had it 3 months and the acrylic ball came loose and ended up swallowing it in my sleep and 8 year later the top was open and last Friday shoved another tongue bar through and little pressure it popped through the bottom through the scar tissue with little pressure and when you hear a pop sound the bar is in just like an ear lobe piercing
The healing process is literally a breeze (different for everyone) however me and my friend both didn’t really experience any bad pain we expected much worse it’s just kind of sore but now I’m on day 5 it doesn’t hurt however it is swollen but use non alcoholic mouthwash (half mouthwash and half water) I find it helped more than salt water
Are you single? If you don't mind me asking. I'm curious about being able to do romantic things & how long it would take to be able to get back in action
Wow did mine today looking 👀 forward to healing ❤️🩹
So when can you change that huge bar from when it first gets done
Simple and easy non iodized salt got it 💯🔥💕
wanted to to a snake eyes but i play with my jewellery often so i chose a standard tongue piercing instead.Pain wasnt that bad, 2-3/10.Swelled for the first 2-3 days,ate noodles all the time and drank cold drink/ate ice cream all the time🙃.Less than a week it was all healed and gucci~Wearing a 14g stud at 19mm in length,will be switching over to a 16mm one in a week's time :>
Oh and i rinse my mouth with 0 alcohol listerine green tea wash twice a day,occasionally i skip it cause im lazy🥴But thankfully all my piercings heal well even if i take a shit job at caring for them👀
Possibly getting my tongue done today. Wish me luck
Omg I just got mines yesterday and it did not hurt like people say it would
What if only on one side of your tongue, under it is bruised n red n a bit purple n on the tip but only on one side
Does this go for the venom scoop peircing as well? Or is it a different type of peircing ?
Thanks
I just got mine done like today and the thing is it kinda hurts when I talk, and also i'm afraid it will get infected from eating. Hearing you say it's a relative fast healing piercing helped a little😌
Overdosed Mia Wallace did it hurt getting it pierced?
@@myrdeazjah3497 not at all, I swear. I believe it's because you're full of adrenaline or nervous. (I had a labret and it hurted a lot, so I though this one would too) Of course it depends on the person, but that was my experience
Do you know a good website to go to for snake eyes tongue ring replacements the past time I tried getting a curved tongue ring it was too short so I need your advice on that
I'm getting mine done tomorrow. I never thought about it until now, but like I can't breathe through my nose, never could, I need to breathe through my mouth. If my tongue swells to the point where I can't breathe at all, Imma take it out. Now I'm paranoid I will die from suffocation or something in my sleep.
Hi guys some advice on what to eat would be much appreciated!
Thank you for this straight to the point video! I'm getting my tongue pierced end of this week so I'll have my gallon of salt water on deck by then.
Hey so like what size is the big bar?
Once you go to a piercer they give you A Long Bar,what size is that one?is it 16g?
ahh i was doing the salt water rinse with sea salt and my piercer yelled at me for it, saying the salt will get trapped in your tongue or something , it sucks because all the mouthwash i use is burning my tongue even though it’s alcohol free AND it’s been over a week since i got it done 😣
My family only buys whitening toothpaste. Is that fine to brush my teeth with? I don't have the mouthwash so I'm going to go the salt water route.
Lily Knight mouth wash is like 4$ bruh if you gonna get it done why not do it correctly... just sayin
Does anyone have any advice on taking it out for good? Worried about food etc , had it in for 15 years
I just got mine done. Will it always hurt when you bump it against your teeth or is it just cause mine is fresh? And will a smaller bar help prevent tooth damage
I really want to get mine pierced but I start my job in a week and I don’t want to talk weird when I first get my job. So I’m gonna wait till I’ve had my job for a month and then get it pierced
I trust you with my life
I got my tongue pierced 4 days ago and I swear this is the guy who pierced me
That’s cool 😊
How far should the piercer go to pierce the tongue? will it affect your speaking?
Hey Matt, how do you feel about getting a tongue piercing with a fissured tongue? will healing and after care differ? i cant do acidic items anyways, but, i know a lot of people say mouth wash, but i cant do mouth wash either.
I'm so slow that I feel like I could find a way to choke on it🤦🏾♀️ how??? Idk don't ask me
