Tongue Piercing


With piercings becoming more and more popular today, there are more reasons to get them than just for the look. The sensations of a piercing are one of the biggest reasons to get a piercing today, making the tongue a popular piercing option. Kissing with a piercing can cause different and pleasurable sensations for both people sharing a kiss.

With a piercing you can kiss completely different than others. A number of people will want to kiss you to see what it feels like and to have the experience of playing with the piercing. Because it is different from the norm, they are guaranteed a more fun and interesting kiss than what they are used to.

Piercings can be a turnon because they are slightly naughty and adventurous. Even for people that don’t really like tattoos or piercing, it can still be a turnon because a tongue piercing is usually hidden. When you talk, however, it can be seen slightly, drawing people to your mouth to see if you definitely have a tongue piercing or not. This is a good thing if they are looking at your mouth, because it starts people’s imaginations running into overdrive. While you are talking to them, they start to wonder what it would be like to kiss you with your piercing, and it goes on from there. They start thinking about your lips and kissing them. You already have your chance because you have a piece of metal in your mouth.

People that haven’t kissed anyone before with a tongue piercing are often intrigued and curious to feel what it is like. That is the kiss that is going to stay in their mind as one of the better kisses because the sensation of something cold and hard on your tongue is great. Many people think it looks sexy as well.

And for you, of course, it will be fantastic. You do get pleasure out of your piercing; it won’t just be for the person you are kissing. Your tongue has so many nerve endings that any little movement will cause a sensation. When people are kissing you and they are playing with your piercing, it will be pulling on your tongue, so it will be very enjoyable, not to mention the fact that the person kissing you will want to get a little adventurous in their kissing and try things they might not usually try if you didn’t have the piercing.

For those who would love to get their tongue pierced but think that there is no way that their boss would let them wear it to work, don’t worry. You can still get it done. You can have a retainer put in that is clear plastic. If you use the retainer in place of your regular piercing, nobody can even tell that you have your tongue pierced.

Also, you can have fun with the piercing itself as a form of body adornment. Think outside the square and think about all the fun attachments you can put on your barbell. There are rubber balls with little spikes on them, which sounds like it could be painful, except that the spikes aren’t sharp; instead, they massage the other person’s tongue. You could get an even larger ball than normal to make a really obvious difference, and it is something your partner can actually play around with their tongue. Now your tongue is getting the massage. UV attachments are great, especially if you are in a club or somewhere dark. If people see them glowing, they think it is a bit of fun and want to kiss you. For something quite different, check out an attachment called the UFO. It is a big ball with other little balls coming off around it, and it looks just like a UFO, hence the name and a lot of fun!

If you do decide to go for a jewel that is slightly larger than normal, check it often to make sure it hasn’t loosened off because you don’t want to end up swallowing an object that large. Just a minor warning: it does happen that attachments loosen a little and get swallowed.

If you have decided to go for it and get your tongue pierced, then you will be eager to try it out on someone. My advice would be to refrain and wait a bit. Your tongue needs time to heal (at least a week and a half), and if the person you are kissing has the tiniest infection, you are likely to catch it. The human mouth is a very dirty place, and your piercing can get infected very easily.

The best piece of advice I can give you is to put a rubber ball over your metal stud as much as you can, especially at night when nobody sees it anyway. Metal barbells may chip your teeth, especially if the piercing is further forward in your mouth. Also, you will tend to play with it a lot because it is a foreign object in your mouth and you will do it without thinking, causing tooth chippage. These rubber add-ons are cheap, and it is in your best interest to pay a little now rather than a lot later for a dentist bill. Recapping chipped tooth enamel is very expensive.

No matter how easy and tough you are, you should never pierce yourself. The tongue is an integral as well as a very dirty part of the body. You can’t afford to take risks with your tongue given the very important role it plays. There are so many blood vessels and veins in your tongue that if you puncture one then you could seriously injure yourself, or even die from blood loss. Go to a professional parlor where the staff are professionals. Don’t just think they choose a spot on your tongue and go for it. They know the tongue’s anatomy well and how to position the piercing properly. They also have proper, sterilized equipment and the experience to do this kind of job properly.

If you do decide to get your tongue pierced, then you will need to be particular and choose someone that has been recommended to you and has a good reputation. It is better to pay more for a good safe piercing than to save money and go for a botched job with infections. If you choose to go cheap, you may have to pay a doctor’s fee at the end, anyway! A cheap piercer may be saving money by re-using equipment, sourcing inferior equipment, and not keeping it sterile.

Make sure the piercer makes you clean your mouth out with Listerine or a mouth cleanser before he or she pierces your tongue, in order to kill off as many germs as possible. Remember that there will be an open wound in your mouth, and you don’t want an infection. Visually inspect the piercer’s working area: it is clean, professional, and organized? The work space will often reflect his or her work ethic.

Follow all cleaning instructions. If you don’t, you are likely to get an infection, which may result in you having to remove your piercing. It may hurt a little at the start, but it is more uncomfortable than painful, and after three days the uncomfortable feeling will just about be gone. An infection will be incredibly painful and it will be difficult to eat as well as swallow.

If you have never kissed anyone with a piercing before, and you are thinking about getting it done, you should kiss someone with a piercing so you can to see how it feels. This is how it is going to feel for others if you get it done. Also, remember how you were intrigued by it before you kissed them, and you will soon see what all the fuss is about.

Essentially, it is a personal choice, and one that many people will have different opinions about. But if it is something that you really want, make the necessary inquiries and get all the information you need. The wonderful thing about piercings is that if you decide later that you no longer want it, you can remove it and the hole will grow back over.
