Answer 3

The legal age in general, (although this isn't true for every piercing place) is 16. If you're under 16, you need parental consent to get pierced. But as your dad is coming with you, you'll be fine. Just make sure to look after it properly (:

Answer 7

varies by laws and individual shop preferences.

Answer 8

i don't think any body piercer's will pierce you cause your under age but if you go get it done its going to make you look sluty cause your only 14 plus guys are going to think man she love's giving B.J.'s cause she got her tongue pierced cause they are used for oral s*x!

Check the laws where you live about when you can have a body piercing. Most body piercers will not pierce a person under the age of 16 or 18 except with signed parental consent. a piercing could be seen as child abuse especially if it is in a private part of your body.  

by rights you have to be at least 16 with a parent or 18 with id. most body piercer's won't pierce anyone under 16 for tongue,

nose, belly, lip and 18 you have to get other things done. i don't think a body piercer will pierce your tongue  at 14 i would wait 2 more years its not going to hurt you and really and why do you want your tongue pierce any way cause your too young cause Tongue piercings are generally considered very useful for oral s*x. The location of the piercing should match the style of oral s*x you will be performing... Some people find that piercings closer to the tip work well if you will be performing oral s*x on women, with deeper piercings being slightly better for men.

Teens who get their lips or tongues pierced may end up "drooling like a St Bernard" or speaking like a drunk. The Dental Hygienists Association of Australia said piercings could cause:

prolonged drooling

slurred speech

difficulty chewing

swallowing problems

damaged teeth

reduced taste sensation

permanent nerve damage.

Many people were also unaware that smoking, drinking and oral s*x should be avoided for up to six weeks after an oral piercing because of an increased risk of tissue damage and bacterial infections. "Biting fingernails, putting your pencil in your mouth, kissing anyone, sticking your tongue in anyone's mouth, or anywhere else for that matter - oral s*x is definitely out.

Swelling and possible nerve damage: Swelling is a common symptom experienced after oral piercing.  Since the tongue is in constant motion it can slow and complicate the healing process.  It has been reported that some swelling due to tongue piercing have been serious enough to block the airway

Blood borne disease transmission: of hepatitis B, C, D and G, and syphilis.  Tetanus and tuberculosis are also a risk.  The Institutes of Health has identified piercing as a possible route for the transmission of hepatitis.

Damage to teeth:  The jewelry can chip, scratch or crack teeth and restorations can be damaged if the jewelry strikes them.  Chipping of the back teeth occurred in nearly half of all people who had worn the piercing for more than four years.  Chipping or cracking occurs when you accidentally bite the jewelry.  Fillings and teeth can be damaged if the jewelry strikes them repetitively in a "wrecking ball" fashion

Oral jewelry can:

   1. Stimulate excessive saliva production.

   2. Impede the ability to pronounce words clearly.

   3.Cause problems with chewing.

   4. Cause problems with swallowing food.

   5. Some metal alloys can cause allergic contact dermatitis

People with heart-related abnormalities such as this one are advised to take antibiotics whenever they are having invasive procedures, such as surgery or dental work. Dental work — and possibly body piercing — poses a risk of infection to such individuals because bacteria in the mouth can gain access to the bloodstream. Once inside the body, the bacteria can take hold in the heart, causing a potentially life-threatening infection.  2 months after his tongue was pierced, the man was hospitalized with fever, chills and shortness of breath. Blood tests revealed that the man's heart was infected with a type of mouth bacteria known as H. aphrophilus. The stud of the piercing also tested positive for the presence of the same bacteria. The man received a 6-week course of antibiotics via a catheter and recovered. Although he usually took antibiotics before a trip to the dentist, the man did not take antibiotics prior to the piercing.

Combine these problems with gum recession from tongue piercing and you are on your way to having a serious infection called gum disease.
