A tongue is a wonderful thing on it's own; however, it takes on a whole new found glory after piercing it. Piercings truly are a part of my life, but unfortunatly I've only had my eyebrow (RIP) and tongue done because so far that has been all my work will permit. I have dreams and a game plan for future mods (tattoos, nape, nipples, orbital, large industrial), and more but that's not what your here to read about. Your here to read about me and my feisty tongue piercing.
At A Glance Author SlakKa Contact SlakKa@bme.anon Artist Chad Studio Penetrations Location BC Canada I'm 17, male, and live in BC Canada. I've wanted my tongue pierced for years and never had the money to do it. Late in November of 00 I got a job at Tim Horton Donuts (those of us Canadians all know about Tim Hortons and their god damn coffee that isn't as special as everyone thinks) and to celebrate my getting a job and as an early birthday present my parents gave me money to pierce my tongue and buy cleaning supplies. I bought Listerine and really diluted it; although, I'm sure I'd have been fine with salt water. The next morning I headed to my piercing studio to get pierced.
With me I brought, my now girlfriend, Carly, Theresa, Al, Jay, and Jaime. Everyone except for Carly and Jason sat in the waiting room, dieing to here me scream.
Chad took us three into the separate piercing room, which was really nice, and sat me down and went over aftercare and piercing procedures. After finishing with that I got my bib on and rinsed with a cup full of hard-core mouth wash. After about a minute of rinsing I spit it out and he dried my tongue. He marked the top and bottom for proper alignment then clamped it and held it out.
Carly held my hand as I inhaled and exhaled then the beautiful needle slid all the way through like it was going through warm butter. It was a sensational feeling, which I recommend to everyone. I didn't flinch or blink; however I was disappointed I couldn't see the needle go through.
With proper aftercare this piercing is painless and heals very quickly; Although, you should be sure to look for a good studio. When I looked for a good studio I looked for: Cleanliness (both in studio and procedures), friendly and knowledgeable piercer, disposable items and freshly opened tools/jewelry (Cup, bib, needle, clamp, gloves, and jewelry), an autoclave, and last but not least people's recommendations!
Aftercare:
Immediately after the piercing I COULD NOT eat. It was far too weird a feeling when I attempted it so I gave that up for a day. The following day I drank fruit smoothies (no sugar), lentil soup, and scrambled eggs all of which I followed up with a quick Listerine rinse.
Caring for my tongue piercing now is simple because it doesn't require much attention to stay beautiful. Good regular hygiene is enough, but about monthly I brush with Colgate containing H2O2 and baking soda. Also at this time I take out my jewelry and do a full H2O2 soak to kill any bacteria that may have grown on the metal surface.
Downsizing:
I never downsized my piercing, nor did I switch my SSS beads to acrylic. I'm still at a ¾" barbell and making out fine. I don't bite it, although one day I'm sure I will. Many people switch to acrylic beads in the hope that when the inevitable bite happens it will break the bead and not your teeth.
Oral Sex:
Oral sex is good without a tongue ring, but from a lot of people's perspectives it is better after. Toys like the tickler are a good addition to a stiff lickin'. I have a bright yellow lipped ball tickler; however, unfortunately it didn't do much for my girlfriend. She like's it more with just the beads. I have never had oral sex performed on me by someone with a tongue ring, so I do hope my girlfriend does pierce her tongue as soon as she can. I think piercings are sexxxy and I find her stretched lobes to be quite appealing.
Well, I'm done! Have fun with it and remember oral sex is great sex!
As a completely unrelated side note I'd like to tell you a story about the Dairy Queen retard. Her name is Dannelle and she has a few strong retardations, one of which is her obsession with me. She constantly asks me questions, tells me I'm cute, and pronounces her love for me; however, today she did something that hit far too close to home.
I was wearing my BMEBoy2 shirt and she looked straight at it and told me she liked my shirt. I felt as If I had disgraced the entire BME community. I would like you all to accept my sincerest apology in the hope that this never happens again. Once again, I am sorry for sinning.
