How I did it: I was in NYC with my best friend, we were planning on each getting something pierced.  I had always loved the industrial piercing and had my hopes set on getting that.  Unfortunately I only had like 50 bucks on me and the piercing alone was 45.  I was quick to say no thank you, but all of a sudden I asked how much it would cost to get my tongue pierced, he said 25 and I was sold.  I'm not the kind of person to do something like pierce my tongue on impulse, but I don't know what came over me!  I watched as he sterilized the needle and he came over and clamped my tongue.  He put the needle through then inserted the bar and finally the end balls [?haha].  Honestly it really didn't hurt.  It was just pressure, but come on, the thought of a needle going through your tongue is pretty scary.  I'm so happy I did it though, I love it.

Lessons & tips: Just be calm and make sure you know how to properly care for it after.  It heals up pretty quickly as long as you take good care of it :]

Resources: Any jewelry store that has any other options than those trashy tongue rinds that say 69" and "FUCK ME," I'm against those, but all for any weed related ones :D
