It's important to allow your tongue to fully heal before getting it repierced. I would recommend waiting at least 4-6 weeks to ensure the area has properly healed and there is reduced risk of infection. Be sure to consult with a reputable piercer for guidance on when it is safe to get it repierced.

Should you get your tongue pierced if you have a lisp?

It depends: If you're trying to get rid of the lisp, then probably not because I doubt the piercing would help. If you're trying to hide the lisp, having a piercing may be an excuse. Most people won't care whether or not you have a lisp or a pierced tongue so do what you feel is true to yourself.

No actually there are no pain receptors in the center of the tongue, they are all along the outside edge of the tongue to remind you not to bite your tongue.

The discomfort comes the 2nd and 3rd days post piercing when the swelling can be a bit painful and annoying. If you follow the instructions provided to you by your professional body piercer you should do just fine.

Affects of a tongue getting pierced wrong?

Obviously infection is one of the most common issues with tongue piercings but that is all to do with the maintenance of the piercing whilst it heals. Complications with the actual piercing can be quite similar to any other piercings. Nerves are everywhere in your body including your tongue. I have had my tongue done and had a rather painless piercing procedure and healing however a friend of mine had hers done a year ago and a nerve in her tongue was hit and she had swelling and constant pain in her tongue down and down her neck and was unable to eat or speak for over a week. If you are considering getting your tongue done speak to a few people who already have it done and go to a piercer that they recommend and who sound the most experienced.

How long are tongue piercings typically swollen?

Anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks, 3 at the most. If it is longer than that, the barbell may not be long enough and it might be too tight. Your tongue may stay swollen for up to two weeks around the hole, well mine was anyway. But if you find the swelling hasn't gone down within three weeks go back to your piercer.
