tongue piercing gone wrong

[babii.blu.eyes.]

ok. i got my tongue pierced for the 2nd time about 3 months ago.
i had a feeling that they did it wrong. it just seemed too far back and its off centre. i have been advised to take it out and get it re-done. im just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions. cause im broke and cant afford it to be re-done.

basiccaly its off centre. too far back. the bar they used was too small for the original piercing and it left a massive indent in my tongue that wont go away. the bottom of it wont heal and its constantly sore and red and there has been pus there once.

any suggestions?

could you go to a piercer and get a longer bar in it? did you have alonger bar in it to begin with?

it may have been pierced that way because of the veins in your tongue.

go back to your piercer. if they pierced it wrong like did not put a long enough bar in it then its thier fault not yours and you should not have to pay to get it re-done correctly.
did you have a longer bar put in to start with then change to a smaller one? Like Miss Devil said, it may have been pierced in that position because of the veins in your tongue

umm. the bar they originally used was TOO short to start with. when it swelled a peranant indent was made in my tongue because it was too short.
umm. i had it looked at by someone the other day. which is why i know its done wrong. and they said that my viens are fine and thats not the problem with the piercings. it was just done off centre. today i caved in and took it out because it was so painfull. but i will get it re-done in like a month or so.

Hm. Go to a different piercer next time. A good one. Known one. Trust me, I've been to a few and you can always tell the difference in quality of work.

Yeah I have a dent in my tongue too, that happens whether the bar is too small or not. Gravity :) Mine is also in an odd place, but too far forwards in my opinion - I think it's cse of the veins. For the pain and redness just use a non alcoholic mouth wash (Alcohol will just irritate it). If it gets too bad either take it out or go back.
