Tongue Piercings

[morbidstorm]

I have had my tongue pierced this afternoon, and I supposed to be going on a night out tonight. Will I be ok drinking alcohol with the wound in my mouth?

Years ago they used to use alcohol to heal wounds, so couldn't this potential help the piercing?

I was drinking the night I had mine done but I did crack a tooth on it trying to eat a kebab on the way home.

You can, although I wouldn't recommend drinking lots..


On another note.. if you have been instructed to use mouthwash regularly for it, make sure you dilute it - I have my tongue pierced and used to rinse twice daily with listerine.. within a week I had a white tongue and thought it was going to fall off! Turns out it was the fact that listerine is very harsh in your mouth and kills all the healthy bacteria. so just be warned :)

Hey i was told not to on the first day but i think i did. Apparently alcohol thins the blood so the tongue piercing could bleed more easily x

Hi, I have been thinking about having my tongue pierced for a while now. The main question I have is the obvious....how bad does it hurt???

[SC00BY]

It doesn't hurt. My nose piercing hurt more.
Piercer said tongue piercing heal the quickest because of the natural healing bacteria in the tongue.

Claid, no pain at all, mild discomfort for a day or so but no pain.
