So I decided I wanted my tongue done, really bad. So when I went to ask my mom about it, I was just she would say yes, and I got really mad, because she said no way. I had it done once. That was more then enough. She didn't understand I didn't want just one! But I was not gonna take that as my answer. So I begged her for like 2 weeks. Threatening her that I would do it myself if she wouldn't just sign for me to get it done.

Almost a year later, I saw way too many people with their tongues pierced. I was sick of it. When I got it done, I knew like nobody with it done, now, everyone had it. And I wanted to be different, like always:). So I went and looked online a lot of different pictures. I wanted my tongue done; I just wanted it done different. I was thinking about getting it done horizontally. But then decided that might hurt too much, and I swell up pretty bad, and I didn't think that'd be good.
After a few weeks, I kind of forgot about the whole tongue thing. I just was like whatever. But then I met this girl who had a 4 gauge in her tongue. And that's when I was all about that. Forever I was thinking about it. And asking peoples about it and stuff. But then everyone told me not to, that it was stupid. Stuff like that.
And that's when I finally just decided to get my tongue done like normal again. Just like everyone else's. I talked my mom into it, and that's when we made our trip back to mohair pair:) to see Corey.
The first time I went, my mom was really embarrassing. She asked about a billion questions. The same ones over and over. Asking if I was going bleed to death and stuff. But this time I guess she felt stupid because she didn't say anything.
The guy at the front desk was all confused on why I wanted it done again, and said I couldn't do it. And I was like yes I can what's wrong with you I wanna talk to Corey. So he went and got Corey, told him he needed to look at my tongue. So Corey came out and was like. Um I gotta look at your tongue? And laughed. I was like umm I guess? soo he said there wasn't any problems doing it again, and didn't know why whoever the dude at the front desk thought so.
So we went in the piercing room, and he asked if I wanted it done in front or behind my other one, I said in front. And he said all right. Then he was looking at it and said that I might have a lisp. And so I was like ok never mind then. And he said unless I was into girls it wouldn't matter. That was really funny and I kept saying no its ok do it in behind it. No its ok u can REALLY do it behind it. It was really funny. Maybe that's just because I was really nervous.
So he takes my other barbell out, and all that good stuff. Cleans that's one off. Gets out the needle, the barbell for my about to be new one, and cleans everything. Had me rinse my mouth out with stuff. And then has me sit down. I was kinda nervous. I didn't remember if it hurt or not, I mean I tell people it doesn't hurt at all, just so they wont be scared. But I couldn't remember if I was lying or not. And so then he puts on the clamps. Holy shit, that hurt worse then anything. He explained that was because the scar tissue from the other one. Then he lined everything up, and kept telling me to breathe in and out. It didn't hurt that bad, the clamps hurt worse then the actually piercing. After he put both my barbells in..
After I went and looked in the mirrior, i noticed they were kind of close together, but he said that's as far back as he could go, and said he could try to go farther back if he wanted me to redo it. I don't know why he would ask that, being that I was like almost crying, like why would I want to go through that again? Then they looked like they were crossing each other, like they weren't straight. But he said that was just because scar tissue, and because both my barbells were long. And to fix it, put a shorter barbell in my old one and then when the new one heals, put a shorter one in that one too. He gave me my care sheet, and told me to do the same stuff as I did the first time. And I left all extra happy:) and my mom made me promise I would never show her.
Its been like 6-7 months, and everything's fine:) I didn't have any problems, it didn't swell all that much. Everything went pretty good:) so if your thinking about doing it, defiantly do. It's a lot better then just having one:)
And that's how I became a little different for a while, but now, once again. Everyone else did their tongues again. So now I'm just like everyone else... time for a new piercing that nobody else has!
