Inside: Tip of tongue piercings you’ll be willing to try.
A tip of tongue piercing is the new wave of tongue piercings! These are a classic “rebel” move. I remember growing up anytime I saw someone with a tongue piercing, I remember thinking: “They are such a rebel!” It was the ultimate edgy girl piercing. I wanted to be her so bad.
The piercing that goes from both sides of your tongue at the tip is called either the snake eye piercing or the scoop piercing, or the one that goes from top to bottom is simply a vertical tongue piercing. The vertical is more similar to your standard tongue piercing, but closer to the tip.
Now with so many different face piercings, there’s so many “edgy girl” options to choose from.
But if you’re still considering the tip of tongue piercing, I’ve got everything you need to know! From inspiration, jewelry ideas, to answering all your biggest questions, I’m here to show you that you’ll love a tongue piercing.
Facial piercings, especially tongue piercings, while they’re edgy, if you really feel like it’s the right move for you, will always be fun and exciting. To get something new that expresses who you are is always a good investment!
If you’ve had one of these piercings on your mind, now’s the time to start executing the idea.
Set up a consultation with a piercer and get excited.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of your piercing is going to have a pretty decent range, due to your geographical location, the size of the shop, and the experience of the piercer you go to! All of these will cause the price to vary. If you’re looking at a shop in a big city versus one in the suburbs, you’re going to find that the one in the big city is more expensive, whether or not the piercers are more experienced.
You’re probably looking at somewhere between $35 and $100 for your piercing! Since this is such a wide range, really do your research and find someone with really good experience to give you your tongue piercing! Mouth piercings are the ones I really don’t play around with, so make sure you’re confident with your choice!
This price also does not include jewelry! So you’re going to want to factor in jewelry on top of this. You should also consider higher quality jewelry as well– if you’re going to be going above and beyond to make sure this piercing stays nice and clean, you’ll want to use a quality piece of metal to make sure it’s not getting irritated by the jewelry you put in it!
How Much Does A Tip Of Tongue Piercing Hurt
While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, the tongue piercing isn’t usually reported as being one of the more painful piercing procedures! Most commonly likened to shot or an injection, you’re looking at a pretty easy piercing!
My first thought about tongue piercings is to think how bad it hurts when I bite my tongue… a whole piercing must hurt a lot! But that’s not actually the case! Tongue piercings for some hurt less than an ear piercing, so I’d be pretty relaxed going in for this one!
There’s a lot of swelling on the tongue during the healing phase, so that might be what you need to look out for more and you may feel the pain a little more during this period, but ultimately, it’s a decently low-pain process! Woohoo!
How To Heal And Not Get Infected?
This is an easy one to heal since you just have to rinse your mouth out to clean it!
Using a non-alcoholic mouthwash, rinse your mouth a few times a day, if not several times daily. It may not hurt to throw in a saltwater rinse before bed either!
If your tongue is starting to look like it needs a little more TLC and attention, go ahead and soak a Q-Tip in saline (saltwater solution) and apply it directly to the piercing. You can do this from the start for the first couple days as well, but rinsing to make sure there isn’t any food lodged in and giving it a good cleaning should do the trick.
What Does The Scar Look Like On The Tip Of Tongue?
Indentations and subtle scarring will likely occur once you remove the tip of the tongue piercing, but ultimately, you won’t see too much damage from the piercing.
And to be honest, even if you did… It’s usually pretty hidden, right?
So no scarring worries here for your tip of tongue piercing! No biggie.
