I have wanted my tongue pierced since I could remember. I saw it on TV and then when my friend got it done I wanted it even more. She acted like it was nothing which made me want it that much more. I asked my parents and of course they said that you have to wait till your 18. Finally I turned 18 and I was so excited! Actually I went out and got it done the day I turned 18. I was going to go to the place that I also go to for my piercings and tattoos (which in the long run I should have)but instead I went where my friends friend went. This place was 20 dollars cheaper so I said what the hell.
At A Glance Author Sara Contact saralynn729@aol.com When A week ago Artist Robyn Studio Skin Impressions Location Indiana I got to the place a little shop by a hair salon. I walked in there and said that I wanted to get my tongue pierced. So I filled out the form and the girl got everything ready. As I am filling out the forms the people that were working were talking very unprofessional. That should have been another sign for me to run like hell out of those doors. But my selfishness sunk even futher and I was pumped and scared at the same time. I went in the room and she explained everything to me. After that she got the clap out and clapped it to my tongue. She looked at the bottom of my tongue for awhile before she stuck it through. Then she stuck the needle through bottom to top (not even marking any thing). It hurt so bad I had no idea what to do. After it was over I felt like I was going to faint so I put my head down and felt a little better. It was weird in the first place because I had something through my tongue and second it felt like someone shot me! I was wondering why it hurt this bad because everyone, I mean everyone that I have talked to about their tongue piercing they said that it never hurt them. They acted like it was calling someone on the phone or something. I can't believe how wrong that was for me. Which was a whole different story for me.
I went home and the pain was growing by the minute. The next morning I woke up crying because it hurt so bad! Later that day I tried eating mash potatoes and I couldn't even eat that. It even hurt to swallow. I tried doing the ice thing and nothing happened with that. My speech was another story. I talked to horrible it was crazy. I couldn't have a conversation without drooling or pain pain pain all over. My boyfriend took me out to eat that day to a chinese resturant (my favorite) and I couldn't even eat mac and cheese. So I went to the bathroom and tried to take it out. That hurt. I went back to try to eat again and the pain kept getting worse. So I tried to take it out again. Finally I did and it even hurt to take it out! Right after I took it out I thought to myself, "What have I done", so I tried to put it in again. That didn't happen. I was tourn between something that I wanted so damn bad and pain. Of course I didn't take pain. I was so mad at myself for going to that place because I wanted it done and I wanted it done right. So now I have to go through my tongue being pierced AGAIN. Even though I wouldn't have to go through this if it was pierced right in the first place. I have wanted that piercing for so long and when I finally get it the lady at the cheap ass tattoo place pierces it crooked! The bottom hole is no where near the top hole. It looked like a ski slop. I will get it done again but for right now I am pissed that it didn't work and I am pissed that I had to go thru so much pain on my birthday!!! But the thing that pisses me off the most is that I trusted someone with my body and this is what I get, a messed up tongue and a painful birthday. After all that I see everyone with their tongue pierced. One of my friends, three people that I work with, and people that I just see. And to make is even better they all play with it and roll it around there mouth. I just hope that the next time will be better for me and I will be able to keep it in for more than 24 hours. It just sucks. THANKS
