    I think a tongue piercing is one of the better ones to get because it's easier to hide it on the job. I just noticed after 1 1.2 years that my boss has hers pierced and I've been talking with her daily.

    I think so. I had one when I was 19.
    Sorry to offend, but I think they make us look cheap, that's why I took mine out.
    Then again, my drunken quarter life crisis I pierced my nipples, which are even easier to hide, so take my opinion with a grain of salt :blushing:

    ETA: I didn't like that I don't think I tasted food as well and kissing wasn't as nice.

    No it's not ridiculous after age 19! I've never had one, but I've always wanted one. I also made out with a guy with a tongue piercing when I was younger. It was great ;)

    if you need the validation of people online, then i'd say don't do it.

    I pierced mine when I was 17 but got bored of the piercing 1 year later. My cousin which at that time was 26 pierced her tongue two weeks after me because she liked it so much on me hahah :D so it's never late!

    I really want one as well. I'd say do it if you want! You can always take it out later.

    I got mine done when I was 30 or 31 (34 now). If you want it - go for it. I had wanted another piercing for awhile but hadn't found a place I trusted to do it. My husband was checking out places to get a tattoo done and I happened to find a place I was comfortable with getting piercings done. So while he was sitting for a tattoo session I was getting my tongue pierced.

    How easy it is to see all depends on the placement of it. Where they have to place it depends on your tongue. They were able to place mine farther back so it's not very noticeable. I've had people who have known me for years not notice it until years later.

    For me it was the fastest healing piercing and the least troublesome piercing. (Lower ears were slow to heal, upper ear was never done right, naval migrated out). I love mine and would do it again.

    A few years ago I was going to get my tongue pierced. Then the piercer went over the list of all the things I couldn't eat or drink and the fact that I would have to use Listerine after everything I put in my mouth in order to make sure it didn't get infected I opted against it.

    Also I didn't want to risk having my taste buds screwed up from it and not being able to taste any more.

    I say do it - got mine at 22 and I'm 34 now

    One thing I will say though, the positioning of it can make a massive difference and it's all to do with the veins in your tongue - that's why some folk do it and it sits really close to the front of their mouth and is really visible, whereas in others it sits much further back in the mouth and is much more discreet.

    Any good piercer will check this out and will be able to advise on where the bar would be positioned for you.

    I love mine and I'd miss it if i took it out - take extra care of my teeth and tongue etc, never had any problems and my dentist is happy its well looked after.

    I hate it, it just makes girls look cheap. My twin finally got rid of hers a couple years ago (she had it since she was like 14-16) and it did some damage to her teeth.

    When I see a girl with a tongue ring the first thing that comes to mind is "man she must give a lot of oral sex." Why else would you want it there?
