    so i just decided on the spur of the moment on wednesday to pierce my tongue.. first major piercing.. before now only had my ears pierced once...

    so yeah.. basically i love it and all but reality is only settling in now...

    so i have some questions for anyone out there who can help.. (im living in germany and the piercer wasn't much help for a chat on the realities of a piercing!!)

    - is it really true that i can't drink or smoke for a month... seems a tad on the long side.. had one drink and one fag the night after and my tongue wasn't pretty but think maybe it was just a bit soon...

    - how long till i can go back and ask the guy to change the piercing stud thing.. already feels miles too big for my mouth!!

    - what's it like to kiss with a tongue piercing!! feels really wierd in my mouth.. kinda freaked out by the idea of someone else going at it in case they mess it up!! (and yeah i know im supposed to wait a month - although really?... - before kissing!!)

    > I say about ten days normally though chances are you if you stay off the fags for the month you won't go back.;)

    About ten days again all the initial swelling should be gone by then.

    Yes wait a month, you have an open wound in your mouth this leaves you more open to infections that can be spread by kissing. No one will mess it up kissing and for the other person it just feels like there's a ball bearing in your mouth.

    got mine done just less than 2 months ago. After the first 10 days or so it was pretty much back to normal. Kissing is not a problem unless u are really going for it with ur tongue. Anyway kissing is good, keeps ur mouth cleaner and sterile. No kissing for 1 month?!.....Pahh!

    If its place properly and you don't fidget with it, it shouldn't wreck your teeth.
