I've wanted to get my tongue pierced for God knows how long, but I couldn't quite talk my mum into letting me have it done. Then one Saturday , a couple of weeks ago I decided to go for it and get it pierced, so me and my boyfriend found out how much a center piercing was, it was £30. Perfect! So I made an appointment for the following Monday, just after school which was great. As we walked into Black Wolf Tattoo and piercing studio, I started to get a butterflies in my stomach. But I was determined to go through with it!
At A Glance Author Teodora Contact satansangel666tr@aol.com When It just happened Artist Tony & Sharon Studio Black Wolf Location Bedford, England So I sat in the waiting room feeling really anxious! The worse thing about it was that Tony and Sharon were running a bit late. Then I heard the dreaded words "You can go in now".
So all by myself I walked down the stairs, there was a awful smell, it was a cross between disinfectant and Listerine .
As I walked in Tony was finishing off a girl's tattoo, so I walked through to Sharon room. I sat on the chair and put on a brave face! I asked Sharon if it hurt and she said " Its one of the least painful piercing's you'll ever have",
So I felt a bit more at ease. She gave my a yellow bucket to hold on my lap and a cup of oral disinfectant which she described as 'Vile shit' I swished it around my mouth a bit and it tasted foul! I spat it in to the yellow bucket. Thank God!!
The she told me to stick out my tongue as far as I could as she dried it, the she put a numbing cream on it which also tasted foul, I had to sit for two minutes leaning forward with this stuff in my mouth looking like a twatt, as she explained what and what not to eat, and do.
Then I spat that out, and I sat there biting my tongue and I could feel it, and I was thinking "Shit! It hasn't worked its going to hurt like a bitch!" She took my tongue out, and dried it , YET AGAIN!, and in walked tony with a huge clamp in his hand. "ohh what a lovely pink tongue" What a bloody random compliment!
He put the clamp on and pulled on it like it was a piece of meat on a fucking barbecue! He mentioned me having a very nice groove down my tongue, another weird, random compliment! Then he said that he would count to three and I was to take a deep breath and he would push the big needle type thing through. 1..2..3....... I felt like saying "come on then push it through" when Sharon announced that it was done, she babbled on about their being a bit of pressure as she pushed the bell bar through, while Tony said "she has a nice soft tongue" ANOTHER strange, random compliment! It was all done! Sharon gave me some stuff to rinse out my mouth with I tried to spit but then I realized I couldn't so the stuff just plopped out of my mouth it was yellow ,thick and creamy It looked like phlegm especially because it had quite a bit of blood mixed in with it! Yuck!
I turned around and looked in the mirror proudly! Wow ! my tongue have a hole with a big metal bar through it! Yay! Just what I've always wanted! She put an ice cube in my mouth and it didn't fit too good! I was dribbling all over the place!
She gave me a cup of icy water and again explained what to and not eat and do and that I was to come back next week to get the bar changed from a 12mm to a 8mm as the swelling would have gone down by then, as I drooled all over the floor!! I tried to say thanks but it came out as "hank" and then I sad goodbye but it was more like "googye".
I walked up the stairs and proudly stuck my tongue out at my mum and my boyfriend and the guy on reception who I have become quite good friends with. AGAIN I made my pathetic attempt to say goodbye and thank you but no!, I still sounded like a twatt!!
We walked down the stairs to the bottom door and I tried to explain the whole painless operation to my mother and boyfriend, while trying to sip on water and not dribble all at the same time!! AHHH!
One thing I advise is that you don't talk too much the first day and to rest your tongue, because if you do talk to much the next day your tongue will swell up like a fucking balloon!! Like mine did!
It still aches a bit but I don't regret it one bit! I strongly recommend it! Its the least painful piercing I've had and I've had my nose, ears, bellybutton, eyebrow and lip pierced. In fact it didn't hurt at all its just takes a little bit of getting use to!!
