Answer 5

I have had my tongue pierced for 3 years and I also had a second one done two other times...no...that is not normal...he could have hit a vein...you should be very careful!!!

Answer 6

yeah , i think it ok, i remember my bro couldnt talk for days, and he only had soups and juices... lol. i dont think he was one to clean it as advised but everything is fine now...... i think he culdnt talk because of numbness actually, but trust the expert, she should know best..

Answer 7

Mine never did that. But it could be normal. I would go and get checked by your doctor just in case. Good luck, =]

Answer 8

Yes, it's normal.  My tongue swelled up for 5 days to the point I could only ingest liquids and sounded like Elmer Fudd.

If it continues to be a problem, I'd take it out.  No sense in risking nerve damage for the sake of a piercing.

Answer 9

I don't know, but I'd be careful. There are alot of nerve endings in your tongue. Maybe the act of piercing it somehow damaged some of them? Hope it gets better!
