    Same sentiment here too, myself and a friend both have our tongues done but had different healing experiences. My own didn't swell too much, I was eating solids 2 days later and the worst part of it was just getting used to having a metal bar in your mouth!! My friend though had an awful time, tongue swelled up for nearly 2 weeks, couldn't eat anything but soup etc, also speech was slightly impaired.

    For both of us though, the actual piercing was fine, no real pain so I would say definitely do it, don't let the healing put you off, it's a great piercing :)

    That kid is so rude!!! And the artist either has the patience of a saint or is really enjoying inflicting pain on the little shit! Personally I hope its the latter.

    The majority of the time it's the larger bar that causes the impediment, so once the smaller bar is put in, the speech problem goes.

    Just wondering people opinions on getting two tattoos in one day...both really small mean like one round 2euro coin size the other prob inch squared...one on my ankle...and one in as of yet unsure location...possibly back of neck/wrist/front of hip

    I do already have a tattoo pretty small on back of my hip
    I handled the pain...not brilliantly but my friends escaped with all working fingers

    You'll be fine getting two small tattoos in the one day.
    Don't worry about it. :)

    To be honest when getting multiple tattoos, or even tattoos of a larger than average size there are two factors to consider:
    1. Your stamina and threshold for pain, along with the impact of blood lost if you're a bleeder - no tattooist worth knowing would continue to tattoo someone after they pass out, and if you're tired/poorly nourished this could negatively affect the healing process.
    2. The tattooist's stamina - basically you don't want the later stuff looking pants because they were tired.

    Other than that there's no problem with it.

    None of my tattoos ever hurt me, just got bored while waiting that its done. Ive got 5 piercings at my ears, not really painful but a bit uncomfortable a few days before it was healed.
    The experience of pain varies, thats true.

    Especially if it's really intricate they would get tired/fed up after a few hours

    All piercings hurt but my conch piercings were particularly sore. A bitch to heal too.

    Only have one tattoo, vertical down my spine with details coming off the spine towards the shoulders (hopin to add to it when got the dosh!). I did not feel pain at all - in fact it tickled at one point when he left the spine and I got a stern speaking to that I had to sit still!

    The guy next to me was dying though...in same area of back...so it does depend (my artist says women generally have an easier time of it - though this is completely ancedotal!)

    I found the one on my spine hard to bear, but i had that before i had babies..... :D:D I seem to have a better tolerance for pain now :D

    Can't wait to see yours when you get it done GoerGirl ;)

    Same here, it's more a case of I just get used to the pain so it's easier to ignore for a bit.

    Worst thing is, feeling it constantly makes it harder not to tense up.
    But tensing up makes it hurt more. Catch 22!

    I actually quite like the feeling, (wouldn't even call it pain), of getting a tattoo. Already can't wait for my 8 hour sitting next week. :)
