First time I had it done I had flu and it took ages for the swelling to subside and I suffered like hell. Second time I was fully fit and had no problems!!
It wasnt pain free, but I didnt find it very sore at all. In fact both times I didnt realise the piercer was finished and was still bracing myself for the pain!!
It cost me �25 both times.
My tongue didnt swell too much but just felt akward speaking and eating for a few days, nothing major.
The worst part was the numbing spay, it tasted like rotten bananas lol!!
