I had my tongue pierced together with Cherie at Borneo Headhunters Tattoo and Piercing on a whim about three weeks ago. I used to have a tongue piercing back in Christchurch, and it was more towards the front of the tongue. I tried to get it done in the same place (there still is a visible hole) but decided against it since I have a career so I went for one towards the back so it isn't too visible.
This is the second time for Cherie (she has a navel piercing) while I had most of my face pierced in NZ, so I'm used to it. However, we both have a very high threshold for pain so we didn't feel much at all.
I didn't want to post about this but since a previous entry depicted my tongue piercing, I might as well put up the photos and videos. ;)
You will need QuickTime for the videos (.3gp) and double size it coz I didn't bring my digicam (it was an impulsive decision) so it was filmed using a cell phone. Check out the background soundtrack - there was a procession...I found it very appropriate. Heh!

This is a video of Cherie right after the tongue piercing.

We used a 14 gauge bar for the piercing. Cherie went for the surgical steel bar while mine is an 18k solid gold barbell...

...and it's topped with a jewel.
It's a bit of an overkill on the bling bling factor, yeah? ;)


cool! =D

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
