Pulling off the tongue piercing

College Life
1

<p>I’m going off to college this coming fall, and i’m considering a tongue piercing for myself. If i do it, i would like to do so in the next couple weeks so that i’m not worried about the possibly extensive healing/cleaning process when classes begin.</p>

<p>I would definitely put myself on the preppy side. I generally wear khaki shorts or long jeans with a Tshirt or polo. This would be my only piercing, but i’m not sure if i would be able to pull it off. Anybody know any guys that are rather preppy with a tongue piercing?</p>

<p>Only if you’re hot. lol.</p>

<p>But i’m not kidding.</p>

<p>*tongue piercings like never heal though, so take note of that. If you have it in for a year and take it out for 10 minutes, it will be closed up.</p>

<p>Nope. I’ve never seen a preppy guy with a tongue piercing. I am of the opinion that no one can pull it off though, I’m not a big fan of them personally.</p>

4

<p>i think its okay for girls to have their tongue pierced. however, for guys… im not so sure about.</p>

5

<p>I wouldn’t consider you preppy anymore if you had a tongue piercing lol. Besides not being preppy anymore, I don’t think they’re attractive at all.</p>

6

<p>that’s really cool, do it!</p>

<p>one of my preppy guy friends has one and i think he pulls it off well. i also want one really bad (i’m a girl), it’s just a matter if i have the guts to do it before summer ends</p>

<p>It doesn’t exactly require skill to pull it off… most people won’t even notice you have one. If you want it go for it. If you have to go to a more formal ocassion or just dont want to risk it being noticed, buy a tongue piercing retainer, its like a piercing but clear and with a flat top… it will most likely go unnoticed.</p>

<p>I have a guy friend who has a tongue piercing (along with a bunch of others), but he’s far from preppy, so he pulls it off well.</p>

<p>I don’t know about your school, but a lot of the preps at my school think non-ear piercings are gross. However, if you really like it, you should just get it and not worry about what others think.</p>

<p>I don’t think anyone can pull them off, and YES people will notice. My cousin got one, couldn’t eat for a day, and then hated it. They are gross and not attractive in the slightest.</p>

11

<p>You know what they say about people with tongue rings…</p>

<p>I don’t recommend them for guys</p>

12

<p>Don’t listen to the people on this thread…</p>

<p>If you want a piercing, get educated and then get one. We aren’t your friends here, so if a bunch of whiney little sheltered children talk about “gross piercings!” then they can go back to listening to their Rihanna or something.</p>

<p>Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, so I take back some of those harsh words. But if the OP wants one, he can get one. He isn’t asking about whether it’s gross or not. He’s asking whether it’ll be weird if he’s a prep with a piercing. Answer the question, don’t vent your prejudices (although this post is kind of venting haha)</p>

<p>I don’t have any problems with piercings…I have my belly button piereced</p>

<p>Whenever I see a guy with a tongue ring, I think the exact same thing, which is a line about tongue rings from “No Sex in the Champagne Room” by Chris Rock…and I giggle</p>

14

<p>jake…are you gay???</p>

<p>because 90% of guys who have tongue piercings are GAY or extrememly metro…but in a gay sense!!</p>

<p>and please…don’t do it to “attract girls” because that is just SAD!!!</p>

15

<p>A tongue ring is basically analogous to saying “I’ll suck yer dick”, to be blunt, lol.</p>

16

<p>Tongue piercings are hot… on girls.</p>

17

<p>I’m pretty preppy considering I’m a cheerleader and everything…but I’m a girl. I got my tongue pireced 3 days before St. Patricks day and I spent St. Patrick’s day in the er because my tongue wouldn’t stop bleeding. So yeah I’ve seen preppy kids with pierced body parts…just hope what happened to me won’t happen to u.</p>

18

<p>haha no i’m not gay. I didn’t really know it was mostly gay guys that got tongue piercings.</p>

<p>“because 90% of guys who have tongue piercings are GAY or extrememly metro…but in a gay sense!!”</p>

<p>your source being?</p>

<p>clearly jakem you are not familiar with Chris Rock’s “No Sex in the Champagne Room” during which he says:</p>

<p>If a girl has a pierced tongue…she’ll probably suck your dick.
If a GUY has a pierced tonuge…he’ll probably suck your dick.</p>
