Tongue & bellybutton pierced
I got them done abt four weeks ago.
Pain levels
Tongue 4/10
It didn’t hurt too bad, they pierced it very slow but I didn’t really feel it.
Bellybutton 5/10
They pierced my bellybutton EXTREMELY slow so it hurt a lot worse than my tongue.
Healing process
Tongue
My tongue was very swollen and it sounded like I had a lisp for about five days. I could only eat mash potatoes and pudding for three days. I used some mouth wash every time I ate or woke up.
Bellybutton
This was very laid back I cleaned it before I went to bed and when I woke up every day and still so. First shower I had was a bit painful because I forgot I had the piercing and tucked on it and it got stuck on my lofa.
👍Pros: my tongue piercing is super cute and I’m happy to have it. I fidget with my tongue piercing and it has stopped me from chewing on the inside of my lip and cheek.
🤔Cons: I every now and then bite the ball of the piercing and it can sometimes hurt, it can be difficult to eat chicken tenders or noodles.
👍Pros: the bellybutton is adorable and healed so fast. It’s amazing and super stylish
🤔Cons: it can get caught on my pants a lot and my pants and lofa’s tug on it and it can hurt most of the time
💰Price: $120 combined
Body piercings, including tongue and bellybutton piercings, have gained popularity among individuals seeking self-expression and style. When considering these procedures, understanding the associated pain levels is crucial. My tongue piercing rated a 4/10 in pain while my bellybutton felt more intense at a 5/10. The healing processes also vary; the tongue can swell and affect speech temporarily, while the bellybutton requires gentle cleaning and care to avoid irritation. It's essential to use the right aftercare products for optimal healing. A mild antibacterial mouthwash for tongue piercings is recommended, taken after meals to maintain cleanliness. Conversely, bellybutton piercings should be cleaned with saline solution or alcohol-free wipes while ensuring not to tug on the jewelry while changing clothes. Pros of a tongue piercing may include the ability to fidget and enhance one’s look, yet it can pose challenges with certain foods and discomfort from accidental bites. Bellybutton piercings, on the other hand, are often fashionable and tend to heal quickly, although they may catch on clothing. Both procedures come with their price tags; in my case, I spent $120 for both piercings combined. For anyone contemplating piercings, it's advisable to consult a professional to discuss body jewelry selections and safety protocols thoroughly.
