That's the one question i always get asked. Not that i have any extreme stuff-only 3 so far-my tongue,my nose and my belly button. Regular ear piercing doesn't count:) Every website containing info on piercings will tell you that you should not eat or smoke before and after getting your tongue done. I lit a cigarette the moment i walked out of the salon!.. Headed out to send some money to my parents right afterwards but in the middle of a conversation with the clerk my tongue got all swollen and i almost had to write down my request:) Also,it wasn't bad at all when i got my wrist tattoed. That's supposed to hurt cause it's close to the bone. I was reading a magazine while holding it in one hand and the guy was working on my other one. I just might have some really high pain threshold:) How about you? Did it hurt and where do you have it? I will get a nice tattoo on my back someday and i wanna get my ears pierced a couple more times.

if you are wanting to know if it hurts to get piercings done then think of it this way a pich hurts worse than a piercing and a tattoo doesn't hurt at all it is more like someone rubbing your skin to make it hot you really dont feel the actual needle yeah i said needle because that is what most people are afraid of have you ever been stuck with a thumb tac? ouch now that hurts well getting a tattoo is nothing like that at all not even close to that kind of pain So if you are thinking of getting a tattoo just remember a little pain for a lot of gain. Piercings is one of the easiest things to get for one it is over faster than you can think about it and when i got my first piercing in my nipples I was so freaked out that it may hurt that after it was in I was like thats it I was so freaked out for nothing so I got both done and then in my private area the jacob's ladder as they call it fo men its on the side of the male genital. good luck on your decisions whether or not to get one but I say if you are wanting it do it...Its not nothing as you would think it would be as far as the pain goes.

My tongue did not hurt at all and it didn't swell. The only thing that I have had done that really hurt was the second cartridge piercing I had done in my left ear.

Yeah,I've heard it's pretty painful because the tissue is really thin. Had a friend who was really freaking out before getting her nose(!) done. It only took 30 seconds while she was shaking for half an hour,she was like "That was it?!?" lol

I have my belly pierced. It didn't hurt like I thought it would. Of course, my husband made it out like it was going to be the worst pain ever. But it really wasn't. I don't have any tatoos though.

The belly button is a peanut compared to some of the piercings, I bet nipples hurt and piercings below the waist do,too

i hear the same thing all the time. i have my tongue pierced and it wasnt bad at all. it swelled up a little bit but it was fine. i also had my nose pierced which to me hurt the most but was still managable. i also got both tragus pierced and none were bad to me at all. i have 4 tattoos. one on my leg, one on my lower left side of my back, and one on my foot and wrapping around my ankle. i always heard the foot would be bad since like you said its close to the bone. but guess what? again not bad. when the tattoo artist started he started on the foot and i joked around "why are you starting on the foot? cant u start on the ankle?" but it wasnt bad. i find it funny when people who have already been pierced and tattoo ask me if it hurts. you already know what to expect. if you have had ur tongue, u can handle getting ur belly button. u know? a girl i work with just asked me if it hurt to get the foot. i told her i didnt notice much difference between the rest of my tattoos and she already has one. people amp up the pain of tattoos and piercings too much. they arent that bad

True,i agree that once you had one done,you can handle pretty much anything. Also,tattoos/piercings are an addiction-once you start,you will never stop! lol
