Its a horrible pic but I wanted to show off my new piercing. I got my nose done tonight and I got my tongue done on July 9th. What do you think?
I think its a bend to fit in my nose. I got my navel done when I was 13 and tiny I never took it out though and its part of what is helping me push my weight loss even though I when I dont feel like it. My tongue did hurt quite a bit and the healing process was rough 3 days of soft foods baby like consistency before I ate normal again. Took a while to get used to but I Love it and the pain was worth it. If you do get it done do not get it numbed numbing can delay the healing process also if you smoke its best not to smoke for as long as possible after getting it done as smoking will delay the healing process of it. Also get some ibprofen it works wonders, and eat lots of popsicles and slushies that helps. Its late my spelling is terrible on 4 hours of sleep LOL! I sucked on ice cubes for about 2 weeks after to help with the swelling which didnt fully go away until 3 weeks. I had a bit of infection which is normal with any piercing in the mouth but it is completely healed now.Originally Posted by Leto86
Awesome.I love all piercings.
Do you have a screw in your nose or just a stud?
I found with the screw, it wouldn't heal.. when I switched it our for a bend to fit one, it healed within days.
I've had my nose done since June of 06, and my navel was done july 07 but taken out this past march due t it migrating it's way out.I will get it done again in march.
I've wanted my tongue done for a long while now.. but I've gotten mixed remarks about the pain and it makes me rethink it, lol.
How do you mean?, the elderly patients?Originally Posted by Brandi
and the awesome thing is my new job loves them
Im using the shorter barbel now with fancy a fancy ball nut on top and a surgical steel on bottom my post is also surgical steel. Yeah my tongue has healed wonderfully now I changed it for the first time at 4 weeks when the swelling was gone and the piercing barbel was too long for me and changed it again 3 weeks later to clean the other one. I change my balls all the time...I really like different balls and I often change them to suit what Im wearing!Originally Posted by Arlyn
Welcome to facial piercings!
I have double nose holes and my tongue of course.
Looks like your piercer did a good job, but I question the barbel you are using.
Did your piercer inform you that it will need to be changed out after completely healed in about 6 weeks?
My piercer used stainless for my tongue, and the barbel itself was over length to allow for some swelling, otherwise it could get tight and cause damage.
After six weeks mine was changed out and I was allowed to trade in my piercing bar for my normal one.
Maybe you have a longer one in now and they are just using fancier ball nuts.
Either way, looks good, doesn't look sore at all.
