Tongue piercingg .....?????

i have had my toungue pierced for years and no one notices unless i yawn or Piont it out to them. it took about 2 weeks for the swelling to go down and i had to eat soups and thing like that. i also got a bit of a lisp after i got it done until it healed and now it is fine, sometimes i don't even notice it, but please make sure that you go a proper, clean place to have it done, otherwise you might get infections and such like!! it hurts alot to get it done aswell, think about it, it is a needle going right through a huge muscle!!
