Piercing update:
Well it's been a few weeks now and the tongue piercing it great. I went back and got the starter bar replaced with a shorter, lighter, color matching bar. Had only minor swelling and discomfort for about 4-5 days afterwards. By day 7, no swelling or pain. Absolutely no speech impediment or anything. In fact, I almost forget I have it unless I start to play with it. I just love having it now. I bought a bunch of different jewelry for it. I even found a vibrating ball that screws on to the bar. Now that ought to be interesting.
The tragus piercing is healing well also. Still keep a clear retainer in it.
I took my belly ring out. The dogs kept jumping on me and I just kept snagging it on everything especially when lifting heavy objects. So it became really tender and it wasn't worth the pain.i had it for about six months but it still never fully healed. I hear the belly takes a long time because your torso constantly moves. Occasionally keep a clear retainer in my nose. Once again, nose and the tragus piercings are so small, no one knows. I would love to get my left helix done but might catch some shit for it.
One last thing. I got my tongue done for two reasons. The first, I just really wanted it, second, I have to have an oral fixation. When I work, I focus and concentrate better when my mouth is busy like eating nuts and snacks. I was really starting to gain weight but getting my tongue pierced keeps me from eating as much and it has made me more productive at work.
