Well?

This obviously doesn't count for those of you in other countries... or maybe it does, depending what time zone you are in.
 
Too much adreneline. Got my tongue pierced tonight and I'm all wired up. 3:40 am and I gotta get up early to take my friend to the airport. Grrrrrrrr!

Hi ya, DW! Busy or slow at work tonight?

get ready for a swollen tounge the next few days...ice helps. when the swelling goes down, you may want to get a shorter bar. if it's too long, you'll wind up catching it when you chew...not fun!

hope you like it!

It wasnt too bad.. a bit slow for a saturday, but still busy enough.

On note of the tongue peircing... I myself had my tongue peirced, and my best advice to you is to suck on as much ice, or icecream, or anything frozen as you can untill the swelling goes down, it will help to bring it down faster. Also, if the peircer didn't tell you this, alchohol upsets it and makes it swell more. So instead of using Listerine, or any of those other mouth washes with alchohol, I would go with Rebrant, or any other NON-ALCHOHOLIC mouthwash. Rembrant is good because its still anti-bac, which is what is necessary aswell. Listerine and such will work, but the swelling will last a bit longer...

How was it btw? Hurt ya much? bleed much? Mine barely bled, and I barely felt it get peirced. I also didn't have any swelling that day, (done around 4ish)... but woke up and had a hell of a time... :p Hope you enjoy it..
 
Thanks for the info, DW! My piercer is a great guy and he did fill me in on all of the good details. It was so funny...got it pierced with some friends who wanted to watch, it was the guys b-day and he was lookin forward to a little excitement. He said he was dissapointed that it was so simple...I didn't even flinch and there was only a little tiny spot of blood. I said next time we do something like this I'll scream for him. Like you said, last night I was fine but this mornin my tongue is feeling HUGE and I'm sounding like I'm drunk. I've got some frozen sherbert that I'll be spoonin down as soon as I finish my coffee for sure! How long does the swelling last...2-3 days? I'm really glad I got it done...been wanting this one for a while. :rainbow:

All women should have tongue rings :)
 
The couple that came with us are fairly conservative but I've known the guy since we were teenagers (about 18 yrs.) so he knows what I'm like by now. The girl asked why I was getting it done...was it just for looks or was there something else. I said that it would also be fun for hubby when I give him oral. They were kinda surprised and laughed. Ahhhhh...the things we do for love! :blow:

Oh...and vicodin is helping with the pain. I'm glad I've got today and tomorrow off! :rainbow:
 
when i got my tongue pierced, i didn't bleed at all...just drooled! mind you, i got my nipple pierced a few minutes before my tongue. now the nipple hurt the most of all the piercings i've had done...so the tongue was like nothing.

swelling subsides by the end of the first week. i got some special mouthwash for it...use it a lot. they also say that smokers should lay off for about 2 weeks to allow proper healing.

the bar you get when you get pierced should be long enought to allow room for your tongue to swell, but once that goes away, you'll want to get one that is just a little bigger than the thickness of your tongue, or else it just flails around in your mouth, getting in the way, and you end up biting down on it...i wish someone had told me this.
 
I feel for ya Nonerz! I watched as they did my husband's nipples and I know how sensitive they are and how it felt to be bitten when I was nursing. I want to get a bar across the top of my ear next and eventually my belly button and then I'll be done. I've got 2&2 in my earlobes and my hood was done a few months ago. I had 3 in one earlobe but it closed up with scar tissue in the back so I'm gonna leave it alone.
 
Most people I hear have to get a shorter bar... but mine actually worked out to be perfect length for me...
My swelling lasted about 4-5 days.. which is round about normal.. some people, depending on your care for it.. and just your body, can take up to 2 weeks for the swelling to go away completely.. the first few times you bite down on it, it will hurt like a bitch... I don't even bite down on it anymore, but even when I do.. it no longer hurts.
To bad I got mine for no other reason than looks... I don't think I will be pleasing the opposite sex with it any time soon.
 
Insomnia. I average about one good night's sleep per week these days, and I already had it last night. I don't know what's wrong with me. I have very few stressors in my life, and very many things that make me happy, yet I can rarely turn my mind off and get comfortable in bed. I'm taking 300mg of 5-HTP per day, which would have knocked me out cold a year ago, but it doesn't do anything to help me sleep anymore - just makes me happier and kills any food cravings.
 
I go through boughts of insomnia but usually I just don't sleep as much as most people. At one point I was taking prescript. sleeping pills but they just left me more tired during the day so I stopped. I think my sleep patterns are genetic to a degree. My father never required much sleep and he also owned a bar so he was a night person like I am. I've just come to accept that I'll usually be up late and that's that. Then when my body requires more sleep I will have a night or two where I fall asleep earlier. Average for me is asleep around 2:00am and awake around 7:30am, even without an alarm going off lately.
 
My Days and Nights are reversed.
It has to do with work.

I get up around 12 or 1 if I sleep in it's 2:00 am.
But I go to bed at 4 or 5pm..

It's crazy... But I'm so use to it now.


Puddles How's that tongue? :D

Ditto, I've had lot's of problems getting to sleep in the past. I usually don't need much sleep to function, so it's not that bad. Not normal, but what ya gonna do?
 
Pamela, it's getting better. I still talk weird, but not as bad as a couple of days ago. Getting the shorter bar is a must! Eating is still very difficult...had a protein shake with some peanutbutter, flax seed oil, and bannana at the gym and it irritated it...don't know which ingreedient did it though. Today I need to go to work for a little while...I hope I don't have to talk to customers much.

I slept well last night. I had spent the day outside gardening and went to the gym after that, I was asleep before 2 am. :)
 
wow MrsPuddlesFL! I didn't realize you were such the pincushin! Piercing is quite habit forming! I hear it's like tattoos...you can't just have one (I don't have any tatts...yet). I have been putting it off for several years now--gotta be sure that it wasn't just a phase!

Anyhow, keep us posted!:)
