Anyone Underage Considering Getting Their Tongue Pierced

By , About.com Guide

"To anyone who is underage and considering getting their tongue pierced, (or anything for that matter) talk it over with your parents first. There is a place close to where I live that doesn't card. I had talked to my mom about it first and I knew that she would hate it. I went ahead and did it anyways. When I came home that first night, she thought that I was on drugs because my tongue was so swollen that my speech was slurred. She found out about it 2 days after I got it done, and because my tongue was so swollen, I couldnt take it out. I was grounded from damn near everything except work for a month, which is forever when you are 17. I finally took it out about a month later. She still doesn't trust me to do anything almost 6 months later, and she completely hates my best friend because she went with me to get it done.

If you are wondering, it doesn't hurt at all and I am getting it done again. As soon as I turn 18 that is."
