Can you play sports after getting your tongue pierced?

Answer 1

yes. in fact, it helps heal new piercings if you do go swimming! (in chloriniated/non-chlorinated water) ... the chlorine helps disinfect it, while the constant flow of water over the piercing continually washes out impurities. If you go swimming many times a week, your piercing will heal faster than someone who never does. :)

Answer 2

If you just got the piercing done you may wish to give the sports a break (24~48 hours) straining and exerting will increase the blood pressure and this is not the greatest thing to do with a swelling tongue piercing. Remaining on cold stuff and looking after your piercing as well as ibuprofen or Advil will also help to ease the swelling. Then you can get back into the game, just go easy.

Answer 3

You can just as long as you don't get the piercing wet. Otherwise, you have to wait at least 2-3 months before you can get it wet while swimming. Water is filled with bacteria so submerging the piercing greatly increases the risk of infection.

Answer 4

Yes because it is not your tongue that is in the water, it is your body.

Answer 5

Sure but if you encounter too much discomfort in the inital stages with the piercings you may wish to give the "dipping" a break until the swelling goes down. Cut a rug and have fun.

Answer 6

yes you can nothing really happen's
