I had the top cartiledge in my ear pierced for years. It didn't really give me many problems until recently - I developed a big 'ole lump of scar tissue (according to my dermatlogist.) It was so painfull to sleep on that side that I had to take it out.
I also had my tongue pierced last year. (Spontaneous thing while backpacking through Europe.) I got bored with it and took it out when I got home. It was only in for six months but I still have a little lump on the underside of my tongue. To anyone considering the tongue piercing - people tried to tell me it wouldn't hurt that bad but it was horrible! Swollen as all heck for two days then difficult to eat for an entire week.
