WOW! WHAT THE HELL'S THAT IN YOUR MOUTH??
i had friends, male and female, with a pierced tongue but never wanted it done until a new year's party 4 years ago when a stinkin' drunk girl i barely knew frenched me with her pierced tongue. wow, what an incredible sensation!
since my best friend/brother does ink and piercing for a living, i got mine pierced as soon as possible. the actual piering did not hurt at all; i didn't know skip had pushed the needle through until i heard it drop to the floor. iit swelled up like a jimmy dean pork sausage link for a few days, and was sore for a week or so like i had bit it hard while chewing food. but no bleeding at all.
i still have it almost 5 years' later, been in so long i forget it's there most of the time. i get a visceral thrill outta watching the expression on people's faces when they see it for the first time.
i have enjoyed it as has others who shall remain unidentified.
