Hey! I got my tongue pierced when I was 17....so it's been a few years.

Well, since you're web comes to the front....I don't think you can get it pierced. But, go to the body art place and get the artist to look at it...he/she will know if you can or not.

1) The actual piercing part doesn't hurt as you would think.
However, the clamping part does hurt a little bit. It's really not that bad. Getting a tattoo is far worse. I have a HUGE one on my lower back, and that hurt wayyyyy worse. Make sure to get ice after to soothe the swelling.

2) The swelling and how much it swells depends on the person. As for me, my tongue swelled up like a balloon and I couldn't talk normally for 2 months. As for my friends, they only swelled up for a couple weeks. The swellin part is the worst of everything!!

3) It is dangerous if you don't take care of your tongue. You have to use Listerine until the sweeling goes down. Also, you want to find a certified person to actually do the piercing. And make sure they disinfect all the tools and use a new bar to pierce with.

Make sure you follow the steps the tattoo guy tells you. Also, the big BUMMER is you can't drink for a little while after you get it.

Hope all this helps!! If you have specific questions, PM me!
