    Look around your town and talk to people, to find a good quality shop. If you're getting it professionally done, no need to worry about bleeding to death.
    I've found that the cheaper the piercing the less quality the shop is, at least around here, so you'll prolly end up paying around $30-$60 for it, but that could be different since I don't live in the same place as you.

    No worse than putting a hole in any other part of One's body...

    ...if that's your thing.

    I had my tongue pieced bout 3 months after nearly 7 years of contiplating it, and it didn't hurt at all....

    my mates had theirs done the week b4 and they had theirs numbed, i didn't and they had so much trouble with theirs afterwards.

    the only thing i had was a little swelling for a couple of days and deprived of food for the same amount of time. it cost me £30 but they put a replacement bar in after a week or 2 from a large bar to a small when the swelling goes down.

    as long as you keep washing your mouth out with mouthwash after, eating drink and smoking you'll be fine

    Ok, I had to check the post dates on this forum to make sure I wasnt looking at posts from 1998.
    People are still getting tongue piercings.. or any sort of piercings.
    Wow.
    Well I can tell you this, I had an Uncle who was still wearing satin pants, wide collars and medalion jewelry well into the 80s.
    I swear he still has a bottle of 'High Karate' in his bathroom.

    tongue piercings are regarded as the least painful piercing (so im not sure what happened with jean up there..) and there is very little risk whatsoever, other than those involved with having a bad piercer. the bleeding and paralysis rumours are just that. complete urban myth. even if getting the tongue pierced off centre (where the nerves actually are) the damage you can possibly do to them is minimal.

    if you think you can bleed to death from a 1.6mm needle, how do you think people survive cutting a line straight through the middle of it.
