Piercings

[Wyvern]

I do not understand this fascination with self-mutilation.

Me also! Having something piecing ones tongue would be self-torcher and to me also looks repulsive. For a Prince Albert, I also had to Google the meaning and it gave me the shudders

well...we will see what really happens...
I'm getting my tongue pierced Nov. 18, and I'll keep you posted...

The tongue is a muscle, not cartilage. If you want to continue to be TUBAguy9, just don't do it. Period
Get something else pierced, get a tattoo, whatever.
Just don't get your tongue pierced.
Seriously.

You'll chip your front teeth, kid!



Seriously, you'll chip your front teeth. Ask any dentist.

worst comes to worst, I take it out and never put it back in...
usually they try to place it far enough back that it's not a big problem for chipping teeth, but it does happen...

got it...and it's all good...I like it...and tuba playing as far as I could tell was unaffected. The only thing that's different is that flutter tonguing is not as easy, but I don't know of any pieces that I have played that have asked for it.
the oddest thing with a tongue piercing? eating.
