I'm sorry....I'm sure you're shocked and disappointed.

First, I'd like to know WHERE she got this done. They must be 18 and are usually required to bring a birth certificate and driver's license to prove it. If not, they must have parental consent in the form of a signature. That would be my first issue....find out who did this.

It does take quite awhile to heal. They talk funny for a few weeks because of the swelling. And the swelling is TREMENDOUS! You'd think they'd learn from one another but NO...they do it anyway. I know they must be very careful because of a potential infection and should be rinsing with an antiseptic wash like Listerine 3 or 4 times a day for weeks.

I too was shocked and appalled at my own daughter. She was away at college and thought I wouldn't find out.

She is forbidden to wear it in my home and last year she chipped a tooth. I swear it's because of the piercing and so does the dentist. So....she paid for the root canal and the cap out of her own pocket.

Good news...I have seen the tongue ring for quite awhile now!
