So here is a post to answer a question or 2….
Regarding the picture, people keep asking if my tongue is swollen, because, apparently, it looks like it is. Ummm.. it probably is a little swollen, but not a lot. It is probably simply the angle of the picture which causes it to look that way. It is a really crappy camera, and it is next to impossible to get it to focus correctly… so.. yeah.
As to if it hurt or not…. No, the piercing did not hurt. All you feel is pressure. Note that this does not mean the piercing is without discomfort of any kind. It was pretty sore the first 2 days, and remains a little sore even now. But as long as I don’t eat anything stringy or chewy or sticky it isn’t bad.
As to if I like it… yes, I do. My only complaints are the soreness, and the fact that the barbell is a little big. I will be getting a smaller one in a few weeks probably.
I have also been asked several times why I wanted it. I don’t really know for sure, but… I had wanted it for like 2 years, and just happened to have money to spend on it. My best explanation for wanting it is this: oral fixation. I am the type of person who constantly sticks stuff in their mouth, whether it is something that really should go there or not…. gum, candy, guitar picks, etc…. so i guess it only makes sense that I would want something in my mouth.
That is all for this question and answer section. Please direct any further questions to my comment box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
