Tongue Peircing

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Why not go with a tragus piercing?

I've got two of them (although I only wear one). It hurts like hell, bleeds like crazy, and is a thick piece of cartalidge to go through, but if your going to get pierced, might as well have all the pain and fun that goes along with it.

Seriously, I do have this piercing (and others), and it's the only one I actually keep jewelry in anymore (left ear).

One word....

Ampalang.

Why go halfway? Get a full-fledged magic cross...

A friend of mine who has two young girls and was recently divorced told me a story. His ex-wife had a tongue piercing, and it hadn't been a problem. What was a problem was that one of his daughters wanted to be more like mommy. His girls are around 3 and 5 or so. The 5 year old went to sleep with a metal object (something small and round that could be screwed onto a bar, I have no idea what it really was) in her mouth, and if my friend hadn't chosen that moment to check in on his little girl, he might not have noticed her choking. It was lodged deep in her throat, and he nearly hurt her getting it out. She cried and cried, and when he asked her why, she told him it was to be more like mommy. It didn't help his failing relationship too much.

Now, he told me this story to make me like his ex-wife less, but, it's made me leery of tongue piercings in general. I can't see one without thinking about a 5 year old choking to death. Just thought I'd share the mental anguish.

ASH, I'm glad your husband is so concerned for your chi. What a good man to be looking out for you so.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope you're made happy.

Oh, man. I'm really curious at to what that is, but I'm guessing I probably shouldn't do a search for it here at work...I've been thinking of getting a piercing of some sort, um, down below. I'm leery of the pain that must go with it, though.

If you've got any condition that makes it difficult for you to heal soft tissue damage, don't get a piercing in any deep/exotic area. I sadly had to learn this lesson over the course of three years and two nipple piercings which in that period of time never fully healed. Diabetes, even spectacularly controlled diabetes, is not your friend if you're getting anything pierced. And as much as I adored having that piercing, I won't get it redone for a third time till I'm no longer a diabetic (thankfully there's some spectacular research going on right now surrounding the immunologic cause of the disease, and regenerating the islet cells after killing the abberant Tcells behind the autoimmune response).


But, away from that unpleasantness. If that doesn't apply to you, here's my list of pros and cons.


Pros:

I find them very cool to look at

Frankly it'd be an amusing experience to kiss someone with one of those, or to do so if I had one.


Cons:

It's hell to eat cheerios with one
Talk funny till you adapt to it
Serious risk of chipping your front teeth
Be careful about activities that are illegal in my state if the other person has a piercing down there, you run a wierd risk of getting... locked

I'll have to step in here and say that the benefit is NOT highly overrated. Seriously.

And if you get your husband/sig. other to do the same, it would also be well worth your while....

Although I would advise against eating icecream that first week. Metal is a really good conductor.

As for the pain and Prince Albeit issue.. all I have to say is I had 1 friend who decided to get her clit pierced and they had to do it 3 times before it took.

Holy crap! Too much information!

It's an ampallang plus and apadravya, making, yeah, a cross at the tip of your penis. The ampallang goes horizontally through the head, and the apadravya vertically.

Of course, an ampallang can also go up the shaft, making an ampallang ladder, as it's called.

Either way, you can definitely count me out. I like the little JD just the way he is, thankyouverymuch.

WIMP!!!





Not that I'd go for a piercing myself..... I had my ears pierced years ago but let them close back as I don't like to wear earrings. But then I always had thought of myself as a tomboy anyways.....
