I had my tongue pierced twice.
Once in high school, and it fell out as I was drinking out of a straw and driving over railroad tracks.
Got it pierced again in college. Both times, it didn't hurt AT ALL (although I've heard i'm in the minority). I think getting blood taken hurts way more. Anyway, mine didn't swell at all either time. I was able to talk perfectly clear the next day, and I was eating solid food in 2 days.
Here's the thing:
I took excellent care of it. It healed. 4 weeks later, it felt like I had rocks in my tongue. The piercer took one look at it and made me take it out. Apparently they were calcium deposits- there's no way to avoid getting it, it just depends how much calcium is in your saliva. That is the only reason I haven't had it redone.
So tell your friend there's no way to know if that will happen, you just have to cross your fingers and go for it. But the first and most of the second time, it was a great experience.
Leave it to me to have the freak post.
