alanab 0 #1 December 2, 2003 who would have thought it was possible? last night i got curious to see if i could stick anything through my old tounge piercing. i havent had anything in there for almost 2 years now! well, it turns out my earing fit all the way through... so my wandering mind gets out the old barbell and goes to work. after about 1 minute of twisting... it popped right through! so...... now i have my tounge piercing back! i took it out a long time ago for a job interview and felt like i was tired of it so i never put it back in. i was missing it last night so now i have it back again. i guess i can take it out and have it back whenever i want now! do these piercings EVER close?

jerry81 10 #2 December 2, 2003 Hmm, that's interesting. Was the empty hole in your tongue bothering you in any way (like, with food or drinks) or was it unnoticeable until you pushed something through it again? I've considered getting my tongue pierced a few times, but such things and possible complications always put me off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanab 0 #3 December 2, 2003 the empty hole wasn't bothering at all. when i first had it pierced, i made out with some dude the night i had it done and i ripped the hole a little bit, so that never healed, so i have a tiny tab like thing on my tounge when the barbell isnt in there, but i can only feel it when i run my top teeth over my tounge.

MyOwnWay 0 #4 December 2, 2003 i have had my tongue pierced for about a year now. during the summer, my job wouldn't allow me to wear any jewelry. so i took it out for several months and it never closed up. if you take it out and put it back in a lot then the scar tissue will build up. i love my tongue piercing, and someone else doesn't mind it too _________________________________________ all good things are wild and free - Henry David Thoreau Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanab 0 #5 December 2, 2003 yes, thats what i've heard (thanks paige)! i have to keep it in this time, or if i take it out again, dont plan on putting it back in! when's my favorite shroom getting to eloy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #6 December 2, 2003 Wow! I took mine out, and it completely healed in about 20-30 mins. In about an hour, you couldn't even tell that I ever had a tongue piercing.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #7 December 2, 2003 yes, they close... it depends on how long you had it. I had mine for two years, and took the barbell out for a week and it closed. I'd love to get it re-pierced, but my office is a little too professional for me to get away with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanab 0 #8 December 2, 2003 really? i had mine for about 2.5 years and took it out for almost 2 years, and its still there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #9 December 2, 2003 Did you get a bigger barbell in your tongue? I kept the standard size 14 or 16 or whatever they pierce with in the whole time. That may have had something to do with it.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marz 0 #10 December 2, 2003 I know my ear piercing never closed! I had a 0-gauge tunnel in there for about a year. When I took it out the hole shrank but I can still put in an earring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanab 0 #11 December 2, 2003 i had the regular pierce size barbell, i think a 12 or 14. i know my naval is 14. but not sure if they are the same size? 0 gague?? thats huge! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meatmissile 0 #12 December 2, 2003 Quoteso i have a tiny tab like thing on my tounge when the barbell isnt in there, but i can only feel it when i run my top teeth over my tounge. A tongue (spelling ) tab. Urk - that would bother me. Could you snip it off with a nail clipper? -- ZZZzzzz.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marz 0 #13 December 2, 2003 Quote0 gague?? thats huge! Yes. Yes it is! And it got to the point where it didn't make me very employable in my field of work. So I took it out and cut my hair. I am now stuck in an office from 7:30 to 4:00 everyday and I don't see much sunlight. I gave it all up for the security of a stable job and health benefits. Now I relate to the movie "office space" more than I care to.... Someone shoot me now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you snip it off with a nail clipper? haha its not really a "tab" so to speak. its when my hole ripped and theres a piece of my tounge thats like not attached, uh it comes from the insode of the hole, and, uh yeah. really hard to explain, but no need for clipping it, it doesnt stick up from my ttounge either, its just lose.
