 Oral
piercing has become more common in the recent years. And more females tend to pierce
their tongues than males. Sticking a needle through the tongue is one of the
painful and problematic kind of body decoration. Ear and navel piercing does
not make a surprise, it is common among the youth and elder people even.
The
intimate piercing is demonstrated to those who are close to you. when you stick
your tongue with a needle, you show off, you want to differ from the grey mass
of people.
Long time ago
the tribes of Maya and ancient tribes of Aztec Indians pierced their tongues
that was the part of the magic ritual of that time. Bleeding, they reached the
status that was believed to be close to Gods to connect with them. These days tongue
piercing does not have the meaning of ancient nations, and people make a hole
in the tongue just to show off and shock the surrounding people.
The tongue
should pierce only after all necessary procedures are done to measure and find
the best point of puncture. The puncture is made with the help of a thick, but
very sharp needle, held upright. The rod of the required jewel or just the
decoration is inserted into the puncture, which resembles the cufflinks. It is
bulky for the first time since the tongue got swallowed, and then it is
replaced for a tine and more attractive stuff.
The other
rule that should be observed is selection of the specialist and the place where
you have your tongue pierced your most important organ among the others. You do
not want to disturb the sensitivity of taste receptors, spoil your
pronunciation and hurt the vital arteries to cause heavy bleeding, do you? Hence,
brush away the proposal to puncture your tongue by your friends. You'd better
opt for a good salon with the excellent standing, an experienced piercing
masters, sterile instruments and proper post-piercing care to make the
procedure safe, and then afterwards you can wear jewelry that makes your image
flirtatious, mischievous and unique. Once you fail to comply with the conditions,
then you will face persistent or even irreversible complications.
Make sure
that your tongue is pierced in the tip or the root. The lateral side piercing
has a great risk of damaging the arteries.
The wound is
healed within 1 to 2 months. The first two weeks are particularly difficult,
and here we can say that beauty requires satisfaction. The things you scarify
to have your tongue pierced, are of major meaning. First, you forget of your
common food dieting. Diet is not always what is wholesome and recommended by
doctors. It is what you eat every day. If you preferred salty, spicy, sour and
fried food, and alcoholic beverages, al this might be forgotten for the time
providing you are not ready to have open wounds on the puncture point and
provoke inflammation. Bear in mind that there are too many micro-organisms on
the tongue surface and yet, your tongue is swallowed and causes lots of
troubles. Though, tongue piercing is kind of forced diet to follow, when you
are allowed just fresh soups, yogurts so much helpful for digestion process.
If you are
forced to keep to a diet, and the people surrounding may have a good chance to
evaluate and admire your shapes after the dieting, the other trouble caused by
the tongue piercing does not have such nice consequences. The typical metallic
whispering will follow all the way long that may last for a month or two. And
if you have to speak clearly and distinctively by your specialty, think twice
before you have your tongue punctured.
The mouth
is full of bacteria, so it is far more important to carefully care for the sanitation
than before, when you have a metal thing on your tongue. In the first few days you
will have to carefully brush your teeth, and rinse the mouth with an antiseptic
solution several times a day.
If you are
not afraid of all the above troubles discussed, and still long for having an
intriguing ball in your tongue, then go for it! Make an arrangement for a piercing
procedure and inform all your friends and colleagues that you will be
unavailable for some time for the active speech making (provided, that you are
regular speaker), and will not be able to make the company at cocktail parties
with crackers. And why? Because the portion of the wholesome soup is waiting
for you at home.
Once again,
when choosing a thing to decorate your tongue, avoid ones with tiny details,
since some time they may get loose and stick in your airways.
