I’ve had mines for 4 months now and I love how it’s such a rare piercing. People are always surprised when and if they spot it while I talk, then ask to see it. I’ve had a regular tongue piercing about 4 years prior, I got bored of it so I took it out. My piercer was a professional and made sure I was comfortable. There was a decent amount of blood since she pierced both in one visit. She recommended me to use a non-alcoholic mouthwash to better soothe my Venom Piercing. I did not swell up too bad so I was able to talk okay. Eating and drinking was where I had issues but I just took it slow. The biggest problem with my Venom Piercing was this drooling stage I went through. So during the healing process, I would drool a lot while I was asleep. I am not sure if that part was normal but it bothered me so much because I’d have to change my pillowcases and wash them. Overall, I love the Venom Piercing and how masculine it looks. So far, I’ve never seen someone else with the Venom Piercing in person, except of course on any social media platform. It’s definitely a hidden jewel.. I’d recommend it to others.
I got them, 6 years ago, migration was so small which is negligibly unnoticeable if I maneuver my tongue. A horrible con I'd say the sexual connotations it has and comments from strangers. I got them because I had snake bites and I like the novelty of having dual piercings, Snake and Venom , yada yada. Little did I know that everyone and their mom would ask how it affects my oral sex performance.
You're one of the few that have a tolerance for this piercing. I thought people had gotten past the whole sexual connection between oral piercings and oral sex. I blame all those piercers and collectors in the 90s pushing the whole it makes you better thing. The reality is either you have the skills or you don't.
Yo I feel that. I had mine for about 3 years and anytime someone would see them they’d make a comment. Like thanks now I’m not interested byeee. I wanna get them again though!
I was strongly considering getting the snake eyes piercing, until I saw your video about. Lol. Decided on getting the Venom piercing, and got it done yesterday. My piercer was fantastic, and she made sure my blood vessels weren't going to be an issue before she pierced me. Did both yesterday, and it hurt a LOT more than I expected it to. Mainly the first one. I also bled a decent amount when they were done, but I think that's more due to my anatomy than anything else. Today doesn't feel great. Lol. But I'm glad I got them done.
@@gianabella350 much much better than the first couple of days after. 😂 Sometimes I'll randomly bite one when chewing, but nothing that causes pain. Swelling is gone too.
Getting mine done TOMORROW and i wasnt worried, then watched this video #instantlyworried lol .. then read the comments #lessworried, then saw that he responds to every comment #subscribed 😊
I'm really glad you addressed the migration issue with this piercing. I've been wanting venoms for a while but my standard tongue piercing did migrate a bit naturally and I didn't think about these doing the same.
This piercing did not hurt that much to pierce, i.m.o it hurt less than my smiley if that gives you some reference. But the thing that makes this piercing so TERRIBLE was the healing. I could not eat and that caused me so much irritation, I considered taking it out 3 times. The food I could eat were the ones that required no chewing, aka oatmeal, macaroni, and other things I could swallow in small portions. I'm now in the adaptation period (5-6 days in) so I can eat normal things very carefully and slowly but it's very irritating still and I bite the piercings at least twice every time I eat which isn't the most comfortable.
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching. Yes this can take a while to adapt to. Stay I there, downsize and you'll be back to normal before you know it.
You should do a video on what products shouldn’t be used on piercings and go into the why’s. Maybe one on various piercing myths as well like the no dairy for tongue piercings and include the proof. Also I know it may not be your style, but if you ever run out of topics to make videos on, you could try piercing reaction videos and include detailed explanations of why something is wrong 🤷🏻♀️ keep up the good work!
I have been trying to get around to recording updated version of my aftercare instructions. One is in the pipeline that will address one of the many myths like dairy.
I got both done yesterday! And I’m excited to see how it all heals up. It didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. If I had to rate the pain all other it would be 3-4/10, and the swelling is definitely a huge factor. Before they got to my other side tongue instantly started to swell, it doesn’t hurt it’s just uncomfortable. I’ve been taking ibuprofen since I got the piercing to help with the discomfort. I don’t know if that will effect the healing process of the piercing, but it definitely has been god sent in the mean time. I’m trying to keep talking at a minimum, because it gets really swore when I talk for a long time, and it increases my swelling.
I would love it if you made an update video. We don't have enough videos these days. Once I get pierced Friday, I'm definitely going to post an update!
I thought I had done one for season two. I'll double check and if not post another. Part of the reason there is limited information is they are a rare piercing. Mainly because of the anatomy needed. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
Could you do a video on hiding piercings for clinical/work purposes? I really want to get some new ear piercings but don’t want to interrupt my healing process due to clinical rules.
So glad yhu went over this one. My problem or concern comes with the con on anatomy. I have a tongue that has a short lingual frenulum and it's wide. I never knew for sure if I would be able to get it, because any piercer I asked just gave me "I mean yeah.. If done correctly." Which never really gave me a clear yes or no 🤦🏾😭
I had mine done almost 4 years ago. Both at the same time and I couldn’t talk for about a week and that week was awful! But I loved them after. Had to take them out for my job and want to get them redone. They closed up super quick though, they did in a day
To be completely honest with you, I know you’ll get people saying it’s not bad or whatever. But the actual needle going through it’s not extremely painful the second one might hurt more but the actual piercing doesn’t really hurt that bad. But bestie the healing THE HEALING is worse then going through three world wars. I struggled to eat soup and drink water it was that bad. The bad big lasts 3 days then on the 5th/4th day u can sorta eat again not well but kinda then a week after it’ll still be hard to eat because of the big bars and swelling, second week you should be fine. If u want it get it! I love mine
I just stumbled across your channel looking for information on venom piercings specifically. I appreciate how accurate, thorough and informative your videos are. I have a sort of unique situation that I am curious about. I am a fairly healthy 29 year old female. On August 10th I had a total knee replacement due to rheumatoid arthritis. Since my knee can take up to a year or more to *fully* heal - when would it be safe for me to get this piercing? I see my surgeon mid January and I plan to ask him aswell, but I would love to hear your opinion too. ***EDIT*** This is all assuming I have the correct anatomy. I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this! THANK YOU
It's hard to say. Healing after a surgery like that and the complications that come with rheumatoid arthritis is not the same as a healing piercing. My sis has rheumatoid arthritis and I'm guessing that if you had a replacement this young it is aggressive. I really don't think it would cause issues with a healing piercing but I would need to do some research. Talking to your doctor is a good idea. Also I would discuss it with your piercer. I'm glad the video was helpful and thank you for watching.
Just got mine done two days ago I got them bc I was told I couldn’t get a traditional tongue peircing do to being tongue tied. The lady that did it has never done a venom before but had done plenty of other tongue piercings. It swelled up immediately and like crazy. First piercing didn’t hurt second one was horrible and actually gave me an anxiety attack. The ball on the second one under the tongue keeps falling off, I struggle to eat anything, pain makes it difficult to eat simple things like pudding or cold things like water or ice cubes. My lisp is crazy I’ve gotten a lot of sexual comments on it. But overall regardless on how much it’s sucking to suck right now I actually like them.
Usually I wouldn't advise having them pierced that far back. The key thing you want to look for is damage to the bones on the bottom of the mouth. Good luck and thank you for sharing your experience.
Dunno why but I think having my tongue pierced would be excruciatingly painful. I have some painful piercings and yet this one intimidates me a bit. I think it’s gorgeous and I’d love it but probably not for me. Plus my tongue is more rounded than it is wide and I wear dentures. Probably I’m not a good candidate anyway?
With tongue piercings usually the piercing isn't that painful but the aftermath is worst part. With venom piercings it doubles up the effect. If the jewelry is going to have contact with the dentures, it can cause issues or at the least clicking when you talk.
Mine were actually done in a V shape because of my blood vessels (she told me afterwards lol). Having the 2 balls at one spot underneath my tongue really helps with the damage to my teeth. There is literally none, expect for the one time I was chewing and I bit down on a piercing and a piece of a tooth chipped off. You can bite on them faster because they are more to the side. Healing wass a bitch, never again :p
Hello! My piercer said that he would have to pierce mine this way because of the same reason but that he wouldn't recommend it because it's apparently pretty uncomfortable in the mouth. Has this been the case for you? Do you find it uncomfortable/had any other complications because of the v shape? I'm asking because I litterally can't find anything about this topic online and I'd really like this piercing. Hope you see this🤞🤞
I had my venom piercing going on 5 days now and can say the pain does indeed suck lol. Eating is getting better for me though I'm still on soft foods and popsicles, ice cream, etc... The only thing worrying me is the slight cratering that is happening on my tongue but after going to two piercers and being told it can happen but will correct itself after the swelling goes down I am hopeful. I want to keep this piercing but the cratering has me paranoid everyday and this is even after the second piercer swapped out the jewelry for longer posts and larger barbells. Any advice is appreciated :>
I hope I didn't disappoint. What did you think of the new format? I've added the piercing experience, healing and aftercare. I have been considering re-filming the older pros and cons using this format.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing I think the new format is really cool to create a good base for everyone to add in the pros and cons. That could be super helpful for baby body mod enthusiasts, especially when the only thing they know about a piercing is that it looks pretty. I personally would put the piercing experience in the beginning and then go over pros and cons and then the healing maybe? Just so that there's kind of a timeline.
Yeah, I should lead with that. Maybe start as season two? We are working on improving the tattoo streaming and doing it more often. Along with some better lighting and a few other things. So, a lot going on. Thank you for your input and watching.
I’m getting mines real soon! Should I get them done both at the same time or not? The piercer I went to said she’ll pierce one and wait a week to pierce the other.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing thank you so much! it was very quick and he talked me through it the whole time. he took his time to make sure i had the proper anatomy, and did like an inspection of my tongue. he did the tongue web first since it would be easier but he said i was like stone during the process!! the bars are pretty long so i think he said to go back and get the smaller bars, but i forgot when i’m supposed to do that😬how long should i wait?
If you have the anatomy it shouldn't be an issue. The hard part is I think it would look best if they were centered on each side and that may not be possible.
My piercer told me that if you consider venom bites and split tongue you should get venoms first, it's easier to make them symmetrical if tongue is still one piece :)
I really don't think it would matter and most of it comes down to anatomy. If you are considering tongue splitting, I really, really, really suggest you do your research. It can be one of the worst experiences of your life and easily done badly.
Thanks for the video! I’d really love venom piercings or my cheeks pierced, or even both but my boyfriend hates them and I’m really scared of them damaging my teeth😞
ive seen a lot of piercers say to not have dairy including my own say to not have dairy because of yeast getting in the tongue piercing and it could infect it i still had dairy and im fine but thats what ive seen piercers say
See there is no connection to yeast and infection. Plus yeast isn't really that wide spread in dairy. Yes, cheese and yogurt have bacteria that is used to make it. In all cases this is in fact probiotics that are key to a health digestive tract. In fact, it will replace many if the probiotics that are lost when using antiseptic mouthwash. Also, if this is the case you shouldn't eat bread, drink beer or root beer. All use yeast in their production. There is also wild yeasts in the air and on just about everything. You inhaul it and ingest it all the time and these are live yeast. Not the dead ones that you will find in dairy products. In fact, it is undesirable to have yeast in most dairy products because it would spread up the spoilage and cause odd flavors. I think the misunderstanding comes from two sources. The first being the complete misunderstanding of what causes a yeast infection or even what yeast infection is. The second is the anti-dairy movement that pretty much believe that all dairy is poison. Often it's tied in with the raw foods people that claim wheat and anything mildly altered is bad for your health. Understand that since piercing largely comes from the Underground and often attracts naturalist and health nuts, the same people that are telling you to use tea tree oil, and other natural remedies are the same people telling you to not eat dairy.
thank you for this video! i did mine like 5 days ago, the worst con for me is for sure that i cannot pronounce some of the letters correct as im polish i need my tongue to stick to the roof of my mouth while saying C or S, and the balls make it impossible so i lisp but im opting to heal it and then change balls to disks or something more flat to let my tongue sit on top, otherwise the piercing is the best i have by far but it hurt muuuuuch worse than nipples at this point tbh
I'm sorry for the random question, but do you change your jewelry often? I got some lovely jewelry for my conch, but I wanted to know for how long its okay to have that specific piece for?
I have jewelry in that I have been wearing since in 90s. The great thing about high quality jewelry is it is designed to be worn in the body for a long period of time. Also it is very durable.
Hi, a piercer told me that piercings slightly off center can make me lose tasting abilities. Is that true? I don't want standard venoms, but some sllightly back and to the side of my center tongue piercing.
The simple answer is no and there has yet to be a documented case of this happening. It really depends on your anatomy but further back tends to be a lot more uncomfortable.
It's best to have a consultation with an experienced piercer. What we look for is if there is room to place the piercing without have issues with the two large veins that are on each side of the tongue. Also the location of the tend and where it is anchored to the tongue.
Seriously considering getting this piercing. I do heal very easily with piercings. What is the aftercare for this piercing? What do I clean my tongue with? I hope I have the right anatomy for this. Can you take ibuprofen or some type of painkiller during the healing process?
You will need to rinse twice daily with a nonalcoholic mouthwash like biotene and distilled water and sea salt. You can take otc anti- inflammatories if you haven't had issues with it in the past.
Thank you and I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for watching and for all of you in Ireland thank you for all the Guinness, Stiff Little Fingers, and the Wolfe Tones.
Could you please do a surface tongue piercing video? I got mine today but my piercer did it too fast and didn’t explain nothing to me I’m kinda disappointed and I regret it.
It is a piercing that I don't advise. At the first signs of issues, remove the jewelry. Chances are it will either not heal or reject. Your piercer should have advised you of the risks.
I got mine done in Korea and the bottom are unaligned, I didn’t understand her in full but she was talking about how my tongue shape was different on the left and right side so she had to do something(?) because there was no other way? Is it normal for piercers to pierce aligned on top but unaligned on the bottom, or was my piercer just inexperienced? 😩
We usually pierce to the anatomy and it's hard to say without seeing the piercings first hand. In most cases the goal is to make sure the top holes match. When I hear things like this it's one thing if they tell you while during the consultation or while they are marking and a completely different thing when they say something like this only when you notice they didn't match.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing she told me before she pierced so that might have been it. The top match almost perfectly one side is just slightly lower but it’s not that bad. Thank you for your response! I enjoyed watching your video in full!
I’ve just had my first venom bite done I’ll get the second one maybe in a couple months when it’s swollen down. But the healing process it’s only been a day I can’t even stomach beans and that’s saying something😭
I'm getting this one next week and I'm stressed out of all cons, but I think after getting cheeks done nothing can be worse with healing lol Does someone have any comparison?
I have a question I want to know if I can get the venom piercing but I don’t know if I have the anatomy for them. When I lift my tongue up I can see purple veins on each side does that mean I don’t have the anatomy?
I have never had a piercing before except for my ear lobes is it better if I get venom piercing before a smiley and nose stud or should I make the venom piercing the last one I get?
Venom piercings can be a more difficult piercing to heal. Also you really have to have the right anatomy for it. Out of the three a nostril will be the easiest to heal.
I want a single tongue piercing, but I’m not really considering it, because I care about my teeth. If I were to get one, my other concern is vomiting. I deal with anxiety and occasionally throw up from it. I think I know the answer, but is this just not the piercing for me? Lol.
One of my piercing holes is nearly healed and the other is still not healed it’s been nearly 2 weeks and I’m getting super anxious I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure if it’s infected but I clean it everyday as much as I can without hurting it so it’s confusing, not sure why one is fine but the other is having some trouble?
I had the snake eye piercing 3 times and would like to know if it’s possible to get the venom piercing? I can’t go to a shop right now because shops are not doing mouths piercing at the moment but would just like to know if it’s possible since I had my tongue pierced before.
I'm not sure what you are talking about but I think you are asking if there is a name for two tongue piercings in the middle. Well there isn't really one.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing oh okay! Thank you! I was planning on getting another tongue piercing. Also if I'm ever in the area, I would love to be pierced by you!
Glad to help and if you are in the area, feel free to stop by or set up an appointment. We are going to be piercing by appointment until it is safe to start doing walk-ins again.
you can get vertical venoms but their experimental piercings and you need perfect anatomy for them because they can come really close to the front of your teeth my sister was going to get them done
I'm guessing you are asking about silicone. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing. It is really too soft of a material to make anything other than plugs. It should never be used in a fresh piercing and I don't think it would hold up in the mouth.
I am unbelievably and deathly afraid of the healing process and something going wrong with it but they look SO pretty :( I think I will never have the courage to actually get them done bc even the thought of my tongue swelling up and not being able to eat/drink properly makes me nervous....Also I'm afraid of the piercer messing up or piercing a vein idk...
You could also get one done at a time for less swelling. The swelling and pain for both at once is indeed bad, but you just have to get through it. Also, find a reputable piercer who will know how to place them properly :)
Can u eat cream of wheat?? And its been 5 days and my teeth are becoming Very sensitive but i don't play nor hit my piercings against them so i am not sure why my teeth just started hurting so bad? Also i have extra bone in my bottom jaw can tha cause a problem during the healing process?
I would guess that the sensitivity is being caused by whatever mouthwash you are using or over rinsing. I would suggest cutting down or quitting the rinsing. Cream of wheat should be fine if it is room temperature.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing 😂 you just made my day with this comment man... I’m about to get this done also though. I have really big plugs and stretched ears so I should be okay with this one haha
No hate just curious, what do u lobe about piercing people like doesn’t it get like boring repeating the process, no hate I’m just curious, also I’m getting this piercing in a couple weeks I’m hella scared lmaooo
I think you are asking about how piercing doesn't get boring for me? Well the more you pierce, the more you encounter different anatomies. People are shaped drastically differently and it can be very challenging. Add to that all the interesting people I get to meet and interact with every day. Good luck with your piercing and let us know how it turns out.
hi there! quick question!…is this piercing safe to get with braces? i just got braces two months ago but i really want this tongue piercing and i’m wondering if i should just wait until they’re off?
Any reputable piercer will most likely deny anyone requesting oral piercings if they have braces. It’s a common occurrence to get the piercing stuck in the braces and can cause a lot of pain/problems
We had some crazy weird wind storm last Monday here and it knock out the power for 4 days. I was without power at home or at the studio. It's why the video schedule is off this week.
Good night I got my regular tongue Pircing from the 11th of December I thing it’s a little bit lean anyways I didn’t take it out but I’m planning to do it over back do I have to wait till it heals? I didn’t wanted to I wanted to get it back right away can I get some suggestions please thank u
Me again, i got the bar changed but the burning sensation and numbness was still there. Any idea what could've gone wrong? My mouth feels naked without the piercing
@@BodyPiercingTattooing yea but if it’s placed towards the center I guess kinda located how it is standardly located does that means it’ll still hit your teeth ? I didn’t think it would since it’s not like snake eyes that’s y I’m confused now because many people say it doesn’t affect them then some say it might so I’m just confused now 😭
Could you please do a surface tongue piercing video? I got mine today but my piercer did it too fast and didn’t explain nothing to me I’m kinda disappointed and I regret it.

@entropyrising6203 How was it?
So glad yhu went over this one. My problem or concern comes with the con on anatomy. I have a tongue that has a short lingual frenulum and it's wide. I never knew for sure if I would be able to get it, because any piercer I asked just gave me "I mean yeah.. If done correctly." Which never really gave me a clear yes or no 🤦🏾😭
I think most often that is the response with theses. It is rare that I see a tongue and go this is the best anatomy for these.

Had mine for about 6 years. Still my fav!!
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
“had” did you take it out ?
@@ughmuhknee3083 I've had* so no I still have them. I can see how you'd think it suggest I do not. But yes, they are STILL my fav.
hii. do you still have them? thinking of getting mine and i'm just wondering how long they could last before problems of erosion and stuff kick in.
my piercer said i had too many veins on my tongue and i cant get a tongue piercing
which saddens me
It is why the piercings are not that common. Sorry but be thankful that your pierce was ethical enough to refuse to do the piercing.
Had mines for more than a year, favorite piercing yet.... the healing process sucked because it made swallowing food difficult
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching!
I just got one side done will be getting the other side done in a week. Looks so good already. Look forward getting the other side done.
Congratulations on your new piercing. Good luck with the second he. Here's hoping the healing goes well es just as smoothly.
Very informative video!!!! Getting mines done tomorrow!!! Thanks 😭
You're welcome and thank you for watching. How did it turn out?
i’m getting this done next week so nervous but so excited 😆
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
update?
I want this piercing but I’m terrified of needles but I was thinking about getting it & new Sub! 🙂
The piercing will never be nearly as bad as you think it will be. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
To be completely honest with you, I know you’ll get people saying it’s not bad or whatever. But the actual needle going through it’s not extremely painful the second one might hurt more but the actual piercing doesn’t really hurt that bad. But bestie the healing THE HEALING is worse then going through three world wars. I struggled to eat soup and drink water it was that bad. The bad big lasts 3 days then on the 5th/4th day u can sorta eat again not well but kinda then a week after it’ll still be hard to eat because of the big bars and swelling, second week you should be fine. If u want it get it! I love mine
I just stumbled across your channel looking for information on venom piercings specifically. I appreciate how accurate, thorough and informative your videos are.
I have a sort of unique situation that I am curious about. I am a fairly healthy 29 year old female. On August 10th I had a total knee replacement due to rheumatoid arthritis. Since my knee can take up to a year or more to *fully* heal - when would it be safe for me to get this piercing? I see my surgeon mid January and I plan to ask him aswell, but I would love to hear your opinion too.
***EDIT*** This is all assuming I have the correct anatomy.
I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this! THANK YOU
It's hard to say. Healing after a surgery like that and the complications that come with rheumatoid arthritis is not the same as a healing piercing. My sis has rheumatoid arthritis and I'm guessing that if you had a replacement this young it is aggressive. I really don't think it would cause issues with a healing piercing but I would need to do some research. Talking to your doctor is a good idea. Also I would discuss it with your piercer.
I'm glad the video was helpful and thank you for watching.
Just got mine done two days ago I got them bc I was told I couldn’t get a traditional tongue peircing do to being tongue tied. The lady that did it has never done a venom before but had done plenty of other tongue piercings. It swelled up immediately and like crazy. First piercing didn’t hurt second one was horrible and actually gave me an anxiety attack. The ball on the second one under the tongue keeps falling off, I struggle to eat anything, pain makes it difficult to eat simple things like pudding or cold things like water or ice cubes. My lisp is crazy I’ve gotten a lot of sexual comments on it. But overall regardless on how much it’s sucking to suck right now I actually like them.
Usually I wouldn't advise having them pierced that far back. The key thing you want to look for is damage to the bones on the bottom of the mouth. Good luck and thank you for sharing your experience.
Dunno why but I think having my tongue pierced would be excruciatingly painful. I have some painful piercings and yet this one intimidates me a bit. I think it’s gorgeous and I’d love it but probably not for me. Plus my tongue is more rounded than it is wide and I wear dentures. Probably I’m not a good candidate anyway?
With tongue piercings usually the piercing isn't that painful but the aftermath is worst part. With venom piercings it doubles up the effect.
If the jewelry is going to have contact with the dentures, it can cause issues or at the least clicking when you talk.
Mine were actually done in a V shape because of my blood vessels (she told me afterwards lol). Having the 2 balls at one spot underneath my tongue really helps with the damage to my teeth. There is literally none, expect for the one time I was chewing and I bit down on a piercing and a piece of a tooth chipped off. You can bite on them faster because they are more to the side. Healing wass a bitch, never again :p
has it migrated a lot under the tongue? just curious bc i think of asking my piercer to do it in a v bc i know my vessels are pretty large
@@maciphillips9419 not at all, they're still in the same spot 7/8 years later ^^
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching
Hello! My piercer said that he would have to pierce mine this way because of the same reason but that he wouldn't recommend it because it's apparently pretty uncomfortable in the mouth. Has this been the case for you? Do you find it uncomfortable/had any other complications because of the v shape? I'm asking because I litterally can't find anything about this topic online and I'd really like this piercing. Hope you see this🤞🤞
The V placement is possibly more common. Part of the reasoning is to limit the contact on the bottom of the mouth.
Thanks for the video, can’t wait to get this piercing 😆
You are welcome and good luck with your piercings. Let us know how it turns out.
Body Piercing & Tattooing Thank you!! I will!
Body Piercing & Tattooing Thank you!! I will!
I had my venom piercing going on 5 days now and can say the pain does indeed suck lol. Eating is getting better for me though I'm still on soft foods and popsicles, ice cream, etc... The only thing worrying me is the slight cratering that is happening on my tongue but after going to two piercers and being told it can happen but will correct itself after the swelling goes down I am hopeful. I want to keep this piercing but the cratering has me paranoid everyday and this is even after the second piercer swapped out the jewelry for longer posts and larger barbells. Any advice is appreciated :>
Nesting is really common with oral piercings or any piercing that is through soft tissue. Often it will go away with time.
Oh yay, I've been waiting for this 🥳
I hope I didn't disappoint. What did you think of the new format? I've added the piercing experience, healing and aftercare. I have been considering re-filming the older pros and cons using this format.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing I think the new format is really cool to create a good base for everyone to add in the pros and cons. That could be super helpful for baby body mod enthusiasts, especially when the only thing they know about a piercing is that it looks pretty. I personally would put the piercing experience in the beginning and then go over pros and cons and then the healing maybe? Just so that there's kind of a timeline.
Yeah, I should lead with that. Maybe start as season two? We are working on improving the tattoo streaming and doing it more often. Along with some better lighting and a few other things. So, a lot going on.
Thank you for your input and watching.
I’m getting mines real soon! Should I get them done both at the same time or not? The piercer I went to said she’ll pierce one and wait a week to pierce the other.
Each as their advantage but two piercings at once is a lot of deal with at once.
I’m thinking of getting mines done how did your turn out? And can you give a pain level plz
That’s stupid get both at the same time
What are the pros and cons to other jewelry? Bioflex plastic, acrylic, uv rubber? With regards to a tongue piercing.
All of them are just as likely to cause damage. Then there is the added risks of having chemical based materials in your mouth.
i literally just got this done like 30 minutes ago!! i also got the tongue web as well!
Congratulations on your new piercings!!! How was the experience?
@@BodyPiercingTattooing thank you so much! it was very quick and he talked me through it the whole time. he took his time to make sure i had the proper anatomy, and did like an inspection of my tongue. he did the tongue web first since it would be easier but he said i was like stone during the process!! the bars are pretty long so i think he said to go back and get the smaller bars, but i forgot when i’m supposed to do that😬how long should i wait?
What are your thoughts on getting this piercing with a split tongue
If you have the anatomy it shouldn't be an issue. The hard part is I think it would look best if they were centered on each side and that may not be possible.
My piercer told me that if you consider venom bites and split tongue you should get venoms first, it's easier to make them symmetrical if tongue is still one piece :)
I really don't think it would matter and most of it comes down to anatomy. If you are considering tongue splitting, I really, really, really suggest you do your research. It can be one of the worst experiences of your life and easily done badly.
I went to 2 places asking to have the venom piercings done and they both told me absolutely not. 🤷♀️
You have to have the right anatomy. It's always better to pass than do them and curse the person to issues.
Thanks for the video! I’d really love venom piercings or my cheeks pierced, or even both but my boyfriend hates them and I’m really scared of them damaging my teeth😞
I would be more concerned of the risks than his opinion. Out of the two cheek piercings have a higher risk level.
Wow I've never been this early in my life
Same here 😂
I posted it and I even missed the premier. Was changing some jewelry.
Saaame hahaha
Love my venom bites 3 1/2 years
ive seen a lot of piercers say to not have dairy including my own say to not have dairy because of yeast getting in the tongue piercing and it could infect it i still had dairy and im fine but thats what ive seen piercers say
See there is no connection to yeast and infection. Plus yeast isn't really that wide spread in dairy. Yes, cheese and yogurt have bacteria that is used to make it. In all cases this is in fact probiotics that are key to a health digestive tract. In fact, it will replace many if the probiotics that are lost when using antiseptic mouthwash.
Also, if this is the case you shouldn't eat bread, drink beer or root beer. All use yeast in their production. There is also wild yeasts in the air and on just about everything. You inhaul it and ingest it all the time and these are live yeast. Not the dead ones that you will find in dairy products. In fact, it is undesirable to have yeast in most dairy products because it would spread up the spoilage and cause odd flavors.
I think the misunderstanding comes from two sources. The first being the complete misunderstanding of what causes a yeast infection or even what yeast infection is. The second is the anti-dairy movement that pretty much believe that all dairy is poison. Often it's tied in with the raw foods people that claim wheat and anything mildly altered is bad for your health.
Understand that since piercing largely comes from the Underground and often attracts naturalist and health nuts, the same people that are telling you to use tea tree oil, and other natural remedies are the same people telling you to not eat dairy.
Body Piercing & Tattooing Oh wow, thanks for the education and knowledge on dairy products!
You are welcome.
thank you for this video! i did mine like 5 days ago, the worst con for me is for sure that i cannot pronounce some of the letters correct as im polish i need my tongue to stick to the roof of my mouth while saying C or S, and the balls make it impossible so i lisp but im opting to heal it and then change balls to disks or something more flat to let my tongue sit on top, otherwise the piercing is the best i have by far but it hurt muuuuuch worse than nipples at this point tbh
Thank you for sharing your experience. Over time and with different jewelry the lisp fades. Thank for watching.
awww videos I'm a fan do u have anything videos on tounge splitting??
No I have no and it is outside of my realm of expertise. If I have the time to properly research it, I'll consider it.
I'm sorry for the random question, but do you change your jewelry often? I got some lovely jewelry for my conch, but I wanted to know for how long its okay to have that specific piece for?
I have jewelry in that I have been wearing since in 90s. The great thing about high quality jewelry is it is designed to be worn in the body for a long period of time. Also it is very durable.
I have titanium I've been wearing in my coochie for at least 8 years.
Hi, a piercer told me that piercings slightly off center can make me lose tasting abilities. Is that true? I don't want standard venoms, but some sllightly back and to the side of my center tongue piercing.
The simple answer is no and there has yet to be a documented case of this happening. It really depends on your anatomy but further back tends to be a lot more uncomfortable.
how would i know if i have the anatomy for it? i’m supposed to go monday for mine
It's best to have a consultation with an experienced piercer. What we look for is if there is room to place the piercing without have issues with the two large veins that are on each side of the tongue. Also the location of the tend and where it is anchored to the tongue.
Great video 📌❤️
Thank you for watching
I really want this piercing but it ain’t possible right now
Part of getting a piercing is good timing.
can you do a pros and cons on the surface tongue / scoop piercing please
I'll consider it. It is one of those piercings I will flat out refuse to do.
It can tie your tongue muscles together
Seriously considering getting this piercing. I do heal very easily with piercings. What is the aftercare for this piercing? What do I clean my tongue with? I hope I have the right anatomy for this. Can you take ibuprofen or some type of painkiller during the healing process?
You will need to rinse twice daily with a nonalcoholic mouthwash like biotene and distilled water and sea salt. You can take otc anti- inflammatories if you haven't had issues with it in the past.
Hey Davo, I love your piercings and your vids. Ive 15 piercings and counting. You have a fan in Ireland lol
Thank you and I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for watching and for all of you in Ireland thank you for all the Guinness, Stiff Little Fingers, and the Wolfe Tones.
Could you please do a surface tongue piercing video? I got mine today but my piercer did it too fast and didn’t explain nothing to me
I’m kinda disappointed and I regret it.
It is a piercing that I don't advise. At the first signs of issues, remove the jewelry. Chances are it will either not heal or reject. Your piercer should have advised you of the risks.
I got mine done in Korea and the bottom are unaligned, I didn’t understand her in full but she was talking about how my tongue shape was different on the left and right side so she had to do something(?) because there was no other way? Is it normal for piercers to pierce aligned on top but unaligned on the bottom, or was my piercer just inexperienced? 😩
We usually pierce to the anatomy and it's hard to say without seeing the piercings first hand. In most cases the goal is to make sure the top holes match.
When I hear things like this it's one thing if they tell you while during the consultation or while they are marking and a completely different thing when they say something like this only when you notice they didn't match.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing she told me before she pierced so that might have been it. The top match almost perfectly one side is just slightly lower but it’s not that bad. Thank you for your response! I enjoyed watching your video in full!
Then it might just be your anatomy.
You're welcome and thank you for watching.
Would you recommend this rather than the scoop piercing?
Without a doubt if you have the anatomy for the two piercings.
I got mine done 3 days ago. When it’s time to get a shorter bar what size do I get?
Can’t imagine the swelling be lucky if you can fit your tongue in your mouth lol and not being able to eat for days
The swelling rarely gets to that level and only lasts about 3 days. There is plenty you can eat.
I’ve just had my first venom bite done I’ll get the second one maybe in a couple months when it’s swollen down. But the healing process it’s only been a day I can’t even stomach beans and that’s saying something😭
I'm getting this one next week and I'm stressed out of all cons, but I think after getting cheeks done nothing can be worse with healing lol
Does someone have any comparison?
It sound be much easier and has a great deal less issue as the cheek piercings.
It’s been a year since u commented how was the healing? I’m on my 6th day it’s hellish 😂 😆
I have a question I want to know if I can get the venom piercing but I don’t know if I have the anatomy for them. When I lift my tongue up I can see purple veins on each side does that mean I don’t have the anatomy?
It's more about the space between the middle and the veins. Your best option is to see an experienced piercer and have a consultation.
I've gotten mine done before and it was a surface piercing i.e. didn't go all the way through
That is a scoop piercing but they often are called venom piercings.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing I see! Thanks for the clarification! I use that word to describe it and that what it's actually called! 😂
@@sarahelliott2046 they are also called frog eyes
I have never had a piercing before except for my ear lobes is it better if I get venom piercing before a smiley and nose stud or should I make the venom piercing the last one I get?
Venom piercings can be a more difficult piercing to heal. Also you really have to have the right anatomy for it. Out of the three a nostril will be the easiest to heal.
I want a single tongue piercing, but I’m not really considering it, because I care about my teeth. If I were to get one, my other concern is vomiting. I deal with anxiety and occasionally throw up from it. I think I know the answer, but is this just not the piercing for me? Lol.
Hola me perforaron las venas que debo hacer? Estoy muy asustado...
One of my piercing holes is nearly healed and the other is still not healed it’s been nearly 2 weeks and I’m getting super anxious I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure if it’s infected but I clean it everyday as much as I can without hurting it so it’s confusing, not sure why one is fine but the other is having some trouble?
One side will always heal faster. Don't over clean it and give it time. If it doesn't improve or worsens see your piercer.
So I have PTSD with not being able to breathe, do you think the swelling from this piercing would trigger me?
More than likely not. Usually the swelling doesn't effect breathing.
I had the snake eye piercing 3 times and would like to know if it’s possible to get the venom piercing? I can’t go to a shop right now because shops are not doing mouths piercing at the moment but would just like to know if it’s possible since I had my tongue pierced before.
It should be an issue if you have the anatomy to get the piercing safely.
What is the vertical version of this piercing called? Like (:)
I'm not sure what you are talking about but I think you are asking if there is a name for two tongue piercings in the middle. Well there isn't really one.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing oh okay! Thank you! I was planning on getting another tongue piercing. Also if I'm ever in the area, I would love to be pierced by you!
Glad to help and if you are in the area, feel free to stop by or set up an appointment. We are going to be piercing by appointment until it is safe to start doing walk-ins again.
you can get vertical venoms but their experimental piercings and you need perfect anatomy for them because they can come really close to the front of your teeth my sister was going to get them done
Would rubber piercings reduce the chance of wear down in your mouth?
I'm guessing you are asking about silicone. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing. It is really too soft of a material to make anything other than plugs. It should never be used in a fresh piercing and I don't think it would hold up in the mouth.
Are venom piercings safer than frog eye/ snake eye
far safer!! frog eyes / snake eyes actually aren’t safe at all.
Hopefully I'm getting this next week
Good Luck and let us know how it turns out.
I am unbelievably and deathly afraid of the healing process and something going wrong with it but they look SO pretty :( I think I will never have the courage to actually get them done bc even the thought of my tongue swelling up and not being able to eat/drink properly makes me nervous....Also I'm afraid of the piercer messing up or piercing a vein idk...
You could also get one done at a time for less swelling. The swelling and pain for both at once is indeed bad, but you just have to get through it. Also, find a reputable piercer who will know how to place them properly :)
They are a more advanced piercing but if the placement is correct, the healing is often about the same as a tongue piercing.
Can u eat cream of wheat?? And its been 5 days and my teeth are becoming
Very sensitive but i don't play nor hit my piercings against them so i am not sure why my teeth just started hurting so bad? Also i have extra bone in my bottom jaw can tha cause a problem during the healing process?
I would guess that the sensitivity is being caused by whatever mouthwash you are using or over rinsing. I would suggest cutting down or quitting the rinsing.
Cream of wheat should be fine if it is room temperature.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing ok thank you so much
can you do a video on the vertical one
Are you asking about the midline one or venoms that are straight up and down?
Venoms that are vertical please
hi! coming from philly, you can’t eat spicy food at ALL? or just for the healing process?
Just until it heals. I would have abandoned the piercing years ago if I couldn't eat spicy foods.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing 😂 you just made my day with this comment man... I’m about to get this done also though. I have really big plugs and stretched ears so I should be okay with this one haha
Good luck with your piercing and let us know how it turns out. Thank you for watching.
No hate just curious, what do u lobe about piercing people like doesn’t it get like boring repeating the process, no hate I’m just curious, also I’m getting this piercing in a couple weeks I’m hella scared lmaooo
I think you are asking about how piercing doesn't get boring for me? Well the more you pierce, the more you encounter different anatomies. People are shaped drastically differently and it can be very challenging. Add to that all the interesting people I get to meet and interact with every day.
Good luck with your piercing and let us know how it turns out.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing thank you for responding!!! U I’ll let u know about how it goes I’m not to sure when she’ll do it but I can’t wait!!!
hi there! quick question!…is this piercing safe to get with braces? i just got braces two months ago but i really want this tongue piercing and i’m wondering if i should just wait until they’re off?
Any reputable piercer will most likely deny anyone requesting oral piercings if they have braces. It’s a common occurrence to get the piercing stuck in the braces and can cause a lot of pain/problems
Random fact: I'm watching this video in the middle of a thunderstorm, eek!
Well stay safe and hopefully the power stays on.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing Crazy Texas weather IMAO
We had some crazy weird wind storm last Monday here and it knock out the power for 4 days. I was without power at home or at the studio. It's why the video schedule is off this week.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing Wow! The worst is over. We got hail and wind. Power was flickering but that's about it.
Glad to hear your safe and the worse is over
Is this better than getting surface tongue piercing?
No because it is more prone to rejection and you are tying the two muscles together.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing thanks for your response. But I am asking if venom is better than surface
Yes, if you have the anatomy to do the two piercings safely.
Just found out mine was done wrong 😒
How was it done?
Same! My piercer gave me snake bites not venom, mines way down low
Venom piercings are a piercing through the tongue. Snake bites are through the lip. I'm guessing what you wanted was something different.
Is it possible to get venom piercings if you already have a midline/would you recommend it?
It is if you have the space enough that the piercings will not interact or migrate into each other.
Good night I got my regular tongue Pircing from the 11th of December I thing it’s a little bit lean anyways I didn’t take it out but I’m planning to do it over back do I have to wait till it heals? I didn’t wanted to I wanted to get it back right away can I get some suggestions please thank u
I would give it a month or longer to allow the tissue to heal.
Body Piercing & Tattooing thank you ☺️
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Me again, i got the bar changed but the burning sensation and numbness was still there. Any idea what could've gone wrong? My mouth feels naked without the piercing
What's the best tongue piercing for creased tongue?
Give it time and it should return to normal.
Midline tongue piercing.
Do you know any good piercers in Colorado?
Not currently. However, with a little research, I'm sure you can find someone wonderful.
Better lova lolololol
Yeah, but let's face it you either have it or your don't.
Mine is nesting and burns a bit...even at the tip of my tongue☹😞
If the swelling exceeds the length of the jewelry or it doesn't improve see your piercer.
Thanx, will go in the morning tho she said to remove it. Honestly it hurts and too far to grip😞 wish i had seen your video b4 going.
You're welcome and thank you for watching
I just got mine Monday and I’m hating the healing process😭😭😭
How are they now???
@@poeticsyd3768 it’s healed and I’m doing everything normally now. I’ve changed them already and I LOVE THEM
I just wanted to ask, do these piercings hit ur teeth alot more then a mid line tongue piercing? I just want these but don’t want to damage my teeth
Yes there is an increased risk of damage because of the location and additional jewelry.
Same but can’t get a definite answer
More jewelry, and closer to teeth and gums, means more contact.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing yea but if it’s placed towards the center I guess kinda located how it is standardly located does that means it’ll still hit your teeth ? I didn’t think it would since it’s not like snake eyes that’s y I’m confused now because many people say it doesn’t affect them then some say it might so I’m just confused now 😭
Could you please do a surface tongue piercing video? I got mine today but my piercer did it too fast and didn’t explain nothing to me
I’m kinda disappointed and I regret it.
