Answer #1

Answer #2

eh only at first but ya get used to it..only b/c of the swelling though..just eat ice..icecream ..stuff cold like that

Answer #3

Yeah, it will effect your talking until the swelling goes down. It takes some longer then others for the swelling to go down. When you go get it pierced, the person will answer any questions you have about it.

Answer #4

yes it can, but only for a few days. youll probably have difficulty pronouncing the words s and c. the swelling will go down in around 3 days or more. they also take up to 1 year to heal, so its not advised that you change the peircing for at least 6 months

Answer #5

No, and also, it depends on who you are… and also.. I would consider contacting a peircing place, and asking them, because they would have the best answers for you.. good luck. :]

Answer #6

After the swelling has gone done there will be no problm with talking at all perfect speach!!

Emm when I got my tingue pireced the best way to let the swelling go down is take anti-inflammitories and also I used to such ice!!!

Answer #7

it actually depends on where the piercer pierces it, if they do it too far upfront then yes there is a slight lisp.

If he does it in right before the vein that is under the tongue you will have no problem.

The whole swelling thing will make you talk differently but just chew on ice, don’t use too much Listerine unless it is diluted with water.

The stuff I recommend at my piercing studio is Biotene. It works the best. Always brush it after you eat and swish mouthwash, to keep it from getting infected.

Answer #8

Hi I am own a tatto and body piercing studio in South_africa, the best way to get the swelling down is with anything cold, it takes approx 3 days for the swelling to go down. After that you can change the bar with a shorter one but please do not take it out in the first 6 months and leave it out for a few hours as the hole will close. For the speech if wont be affected. Please let a pro do the peircing as it is one of the places on your body that is dangerous to pierce.

Answer #9

My frined got her tongue pierced and her speech was only effected for a day. I guess everyone heals at different times, but most people don’t have their speech effected forever.

Answer #10

afer the swelling goes down, you should be fine.. its like having a ball on your tounge. you get used to it…

and yah… you should contact the peircing parlor.. they would have the best answers fo you!!! have fun.. and its stings but after that your fine!! :]]]
