Getting my tongue pierced tomorrow and I’m scared.
I have 6 piercings. Both nostrils, both nips, my eyebrow and my belly button. The only pre-piercing anxiety I’ve had was when I got my nipples done but it’s NOTHING compared to the dread I have for tomorrow’s process. My tongue will complete my desired piercing setup so it’s a non negotiable but I have so many worries about the piercing process itself.
What if I accidentally pull my tongue back as an instinctive move while the needle goes in? What if it bleeds and doesn’t stop? What if I tense up my tongue at the wrong moment? How can I even begin to prepare myself for the sensation of piercing a muscle? What if my piercer pierces it too far back or too far forward? I feel like all my previous piercing processes were pretty hard to mess up on both my end, as well as the piercers. Is there anything you guys can say to me that will calm me down. Genuinely sweating and shaking at the thought but I REAAALLLYY want to do it. Plz help
Update: I DID ITTT!! Thanks for the advice folks. Eased my mind quite a bit. Nearly fainted afterwards.. but I didn’t! Pain is temporary, swag is forever 🤘
