What’s Your Tongue For?

I don’t understand tongue piercings . . .
I am not against piercings, I have two ear piercings myself. The first set, in the traditional place, I got when I was 21. I would have gotten it when I was 18, but I had this little nodule in my earlobe that I had to have removed before I could get it done. I got my second set as a gift to myself when I turned 40. My husband gave me diamond studs for my 40th birthday and I wanted to wear them all the time – so I got a second piercing.
But tongue piercings? I don’t get it. You can’t see it unless the person opens their mouth and everyone I’ve met with a tongue piercing has hindered speech. I also think keeping it cleaned would be a real challenge since the mouth is full of bacteria. Guess I’m old, I just don’t see the appeal.
I'm 24 and I don't see the appeal either (so it's not just you!). I have my ears pierced twice like you, but wouldn't want anything else done.
I don't get it either. I don't understand why someone would want to do that!
I got my 2nd piercing as soon as I got to college…because my mom told me I couldn't when I was in high school! That's about as rebellious as I got! 🙂
You are so not alone. Ugh, I think its just gross.

I don't get it either. I don't know how they can speak properly. And some of them can't!
I completely agree.
Maybe it's the shock factor? Having bitten my tongue badly once or twice, I'd never have it done, even if I thought it was attractive (which I don't).
How the heck do they not break a tooth. That would be the biggest worry…and the fact that I don't get it either.
I don't get it either. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.
I don't get it. It's like a test to see if we'll stare at their tongue. But how can you not? It just looks uncomfortable and the speech thing bothers me too : )
One word – NO! 🙂
