I Think You Should Visit A Piercer Or Ask A Doctor About That, Ive Never Herd Of It Doing That. I just got my tongue done about 5 days ago, and for a bit you might notice some loss of taste on the tip of the tongue. Ive got a bit of that right now too. give it time. maybe about 2 or 3 weeks and it should go back to normal. worse comes to worse, see a doctor about it.
Numbness is definitely not normal. I suggest that you go and see a doctor to figure out what is going on.
Bruising is normal, sounds like itβs all good
the place on your tongue affects what you taste because of the different places on your tongue have different taste buds
The tongue.
Your tongue has taste buds. When you eat something, different sections of your tongue taste it depending on what it is.
They are taste buds, so you can taste all the goodness in your food
Four taste sensations: bitter (back of the tongue) sweet (tip of the tongue) salty (tip of the tongue) sour (sides of the tongue)
Their is an average of 10,000 taste buds on your tongue.
Tongue maps reveal that the tip of the tongue is the part that is the most sensitive to salty taste. However, recent research argues that tongue maps are not valid and that an individual's taste buds experience taste the same.
The four basic kinds of tastes are: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of the tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of the tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of the tongue. The center of the tongue has few taste buds. Babies have more taste buds than older children and adults. Not only do babies have taste buds on the tongue, but also on the sides and roof of the mouth. Taste buds disappear from the sides and roof of the mouth as a baby gets older, leaving taste buds mostly on the tongue.
with a 'dry' tongue
Bitter taste buds are found at the back of the tongue. Sweet/salty taste buds are in the front of the tongue, sour taste buds are on both sides whereas the middle of the tongue has very few taste buds at all.
