    I got my tongue pierced in 2004. I was told it was sore but when I came out of the shop I just didnt get what all the pain thing was about. I went out that night and when I spoke to a few people in the pub they were very nervously backing away from me. After about an hour I realised that my speech was completely incoherent to those I spoke with and since it was only 19.00 in the evening the shocked look on most peoples faces was because they thought I was absolutely p'd drunk. I spent the following week justifying my speech impediment as what happens then is the worst bit. For the next seven days after you have had your piercing done, your tongue swells until it can no longer fit your mouth. The sensation of thinking you are going to choke on the "ball" part of your pierciing increases day by day. You have an imprint of your teeth firmly embedded in your swollen tongue. And the worst bit of all is that you are absolutely starving and cannot eat a thing! I went for a roastbeef carvery a week after I got my piercing and sat at the dinner table crying at the injustice of it all . As the aroma of food wafted towards me I could not eat a screed. I was devastated and famished. After the swollenness left I enjoyed a year long adventure and dozens of enquires as to what the benefits of having your tongue piercing are. That is strictly a personal choice. But after I bit down on the ball when eating and broke half of my tooth off, I decided that the negatives definitely out weighed the positives and dumped it in the bin!!!!!

    Hahaha I just swallowed my tongue barbell. Aside from that though, it's a fun piercing. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,386 ✭✭✭Attol


    Eh... if your tongue gets that swollen I'd say something is very, very wrong. Did you take care of it properly or eat dairy while the piercing was still fresh? I have never heard of anyone who took proper care of theirs having such a severe adverse reaction.

    i have a labret,a smiley,my septum,my navel,anti navel,my ear lobes three times each,two are stretched to 4 mm,both tragus and the top of one ear four times.i never realized how many i actually have lol:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,386 ✭✭✭Attol


    On my right ear I've 3 on the lobe, conch and top of the cartilage, on the left I've 2 on the lobe and I've got my tongue done as well but may be taking that out since it's not really done properly apparently. Had them all a few years now except the conch one which I got done a couple days ago because I got bored of my old ones. Was only wearing 2 earrings on my lobes and my tongue one for ages but started getting back into my other ones recently. I'm in the mood for something else but have yet to figure out what I'd like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 996 ✭✭✭Léan


    Errrm..
    Labret, side of lip, frownie, tongue, navel, both ears stretched to 20mm, left ear pierced x5 plus vertical tragus, right ear x5 also plus custom scaffold - conch, rim x 2.
    I think that's it :confused:;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    Lip, nose, tongue, half inch ears, 3 other lobe piercings, 2 industrials, one orbital, nape, conch, 2xtragus, rook... a few retired ones...

    Nostril
    3.2mm septum
    helix
    2x 8mm lobes
    2x 5mm lobes
    2x 4mm lobes
    2x 3.2mm lobes
    3.2mm nipples
    2.4mm vertical hood

    Retired - 2 helices on right ear, 1.6mm nipples, christina, horizontal hood, a cocked up attempt at a vertical hood, it ended up being more like a surface piercing where my inner labia meet, l pity that piercer's girlfriend if that's his anatomy knowledge!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    labret, tongue, two 17mm lobes, tragus, rook, nape, nipple, apa. up until 3pm today i had a microdermal in my forearm but my new pup ripped it out on me. :mad:

    All I have i my ears.. :( 9 in total!

    I really really wanna get my lip pierced.. on the side.. iv wanted it done for years.. but I was too young.. and my parents woulda killed me.. Im 18 now so I can get it done.. but they still will kill me when I get it done. (very strict)

    Im gettin it done next month.. and Im going away to college so theyll never have to see it! Weeeeeeeey heyyyyyyyy! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56 ✭✭Meathcat


    Nose, nape, tragus, upper right ear lobe, and then the ears themselves are done 4 times.

    I'm going to get the nape piercing extended though - I'm aiming for two more piercings beside the existing one which will give me a line of them on the back of my neck. Glen in Adonis is going to do it though he is waiting for some surface bars to come in to make it different. I may also get a cleavage piercing. ;)

    Nostril
    3.2mm septum
    helix
    2x 8mm lobes
    2x 5mm lobes
    2x 4mm lobes
    2x 3.2mm lobes
    3.2mm nipples
    2.4mm vertical hood
    How many ear lobes do you have?!?! ;)

    just the two unfortunately, otherwise there'd be a lot more stretched piercings in them!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭bounty_hunter


    My list of current piercings is pretty boring. Double nostrils, nipples and 9x various ear piercings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Just my tongue, considering getting a second tongue piercing also. That second post above sounds like a nightmare. The first time I got my tongue pierced it swelled a little bit where I had a slight lisp. The barbell came out and I left it too long to put another back in. Just got it repierced a couple of weeks ago and no swelling whatsoever. I was able to change the bar after a week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    i want my tongue done but its the one piercing that scares me!i couldn't go without food either


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    Saranne: I think I ate more with a fresh tongue piercing than I do normally... I really suck :( I even did a shot the day I got it, which is really damn stupid!

    It's really not that bad, the worst only lasts a few days :) I just carried on eating as normal, except feeding myself like a bird :p In other words breaking the food up into tiny bits and dropping it down my throat. Looked like an idiot but it got the job done!

    Edit: Dairy and alcohol really should be avoided for a week or so though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 255 ✭✭Kidd-o


    OMG! i feel like such a light weight,

    ive only got my lower lip done, and ive had my belly button done but got bored of it, gettin my tongue done for my 18th next week!! =D

    Do it do it! :D You just need a couple of free days recovery time and you're sorted. Unless you don't mind sounding like a complete idiot in public, then you don't need any free time!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    And for what it's worth, you might get lucky and have no speech impediment- Nobody noticed I had mine done at all, and I went straight into work the day after!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    i was talking like someone who had an apple stuck in his mouth, tongue swelled up so much, was quite hilarious


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    i think people will notice lol im not very good at hiding my piercings,my mam just found out i have my septum done even though i had it flipped up,ah well


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    its in your nose, fair play for hiding it as long as possible. ive hidden my tongue piercing for about 6months, i dont need to but id rather em not know cos my lil sister wants hers done and im saying no :D

    the piercings i have are tongue (although considering taking that one out) anti-tragus, one on the rim, rook, diath, orbital and a transverse lobe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    my nose points up so it was only a matter of time really,my nose is just too small to hide it.im thinking of getting a nape before my tongue though,does anyone know around how much it would cost?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭bounty_hunter


    Between €50 and €70, depending on where to go. To be honest I'm not sure where is the cheapest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 177 ✭✭Dashticle


    PA, nipple, nostril, eyebrow, rim, lobe, labret.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    il have an ask around,i usually pierce myself but i dont think i would be able to do my nape for some reason lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    i dont think anyone could, well do it correctly that is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    il go in next week sometime i think,i actually have money for once


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 49 goth_detective


    ive got my lip and lobes....i really want a scaffold tho and my tragus!


  • Advertisement
  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    tragus dont hurt at all:)hurt less than lobes and healed very easily


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 49 goth_detective


    good to hear :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    getting a scaffold next:)its not meant to be too bad


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    my right tragus never healed for me, had it done twice, gonna get it done over the weekend for the last time and see how it goes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    yeah my sister had real trouble with hers,shes gotten it pierced around five times now and it just wont heal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    got it done on friday (tragus). Circular barbell makes a huge difference! Healing perfectly, could be happier with it to be honest. Still a wee bit swollen but damn i couldnt be happier.
    took out my nipple piercing though, was in tatters anyway. let itheal for a year and re do it

    also thinking of getting an ampallang... think its called a prince´s wand or something. forget the nick name


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 559 ✭✭✭ZygOte


    triple tragus (left ear) using top and bottom one as an orbital, middle with a standard small ring


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    could you possibly post it in the piercing pics forum pwease?
    id love to see it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,095 ✭✭✭Fantasy_Suicide


    Jayz, when did this little thread appear? All in all I've had 30+ piercings. I'm not left with very few. I'm concentrating on stretching my lobes and septum at present. Cos of my job, piercings are a no no.

    I'm pretty sure most of you know where I stand with my piercings at the mo.
