He said tragus hurt about as much as cartilage piercing which doesn't hurt at all. I've got that done too. I've got tongue, cartilage, and both lopes( my gf won't let me get those stretched) and i've got my nipples done. I like tattoos more anyways. (big star around elbow, initials on the calves wings on my whole back, and cousins name on the inside of my bicep)

 

so... my tongue feels weird lol.

And swallowing is definitely interesting... just took some ibuprofen to try to keep the swelling down... definitely different when you try to swallow something with a steel bar going through your lip lmao

*edit: I hope it's not bad that I'm drinking hawaiian punch... Cuz I love that ish lmao

 

there is something very weird about getting your tongue pierced

 

meh, to each his own.

You'd be surprised how common tongue piercings are though... the thing is if someone's had one for a while, you can't tell by their speech, and it's not that noticeable of a piercing.

Still glad I did it though... paid $35 for it and tipped the guy another $5... $40 well spent, especially considering a lot of places charge $50-$60 for it

 

Soda and stuff is fine, just kinda watch your caffine for the next couple of days, cause it thins your blood and makes you bleed. Haha wait till you bite it, it's a happy feeling

From what I've heard hot(mexican), salty, and acidy foods/drinks will make it heal faster. Mouthwash is totally fine, I'd say just kind of dilute it, or buy the non-alchohol kind.

I also like tattoos more then piercings, it seems to calm me down. I'm currently working on my sleeve. Fun stuff.

 

well ramen noodles is definitely salty... and I plan on living on those until I re-learn how to move food and stuff around my mouth. I wish we had a taco bell today... I love me some mexican food lol. And yeah, I already got ibuprofen, q-tips, and equate mouthwash, so I should be ready lol.

Lemme guess... sp icy? Yeah, take the y off and that's why lol

And yeah, i've caught it on my teeth a few times now trying to lick my lips (the d**m things were so dry for the hour or so after I got it done lol)... not a good feeling.

But I'm probably taking my tattoo design over and setting up an appt to get it done this friday. I forgot the design today (could kick myself for that), but oh well. Soon. Especially considering I finally sold my wheels, so now I don't feel guilty about dropping $300+ on ink lmao

 

Tattoos are one of those things that go by the saying, "You get what you pay for". I've spent well over 1500 bucks on tattoos so far.

 

haha i just got my ears done..i was thinking of maybe and industrial bar in my left

 

^ nice.. what do you have on your ears? The lobes, cartilage, what?

And yeah, the guy is pretty much the best tattoo artist in the area... he's expensive as h**l, but I've seen his work and I'll say it's worth the cost.

 

my lobes and im rocking some small 16 gauges haha
