You Just Got a Tongue Ring, Now What?

You just got home from a day with the girls and you decided to get your tongue pierced. You're home now and it's time to show Mom and Dad. Wonder how that's going to go over. Based on your past experiences, it's very possible that you're going to get into trouble. The most frequently asked question after getting a piercing is, "How am I going to hide this from my parents now?"

Teens and adults from age 15 to 25 are among the most common people who get their bodies' pierced. Of that new body jewelry, tongue rings are some of the most popular. There are actually a variety of tongue rings to choose from if you decide to get this particular piercing.

Thetongue ring was a way for you to express yourself and be unique, right? Some teens that get the piercing done live in strict homes where the parents would be furious if they found their child with a hole in their tongue. To benefit the teenager, there are many ways to hide a piercing from your parents. But depending on how much you keep from your parents every day in life, this could be very difficult.

One of the most difficult things to get adjusted to after gettingtongue rings is the way people talk. This can be extremely noticeable to your folks, however. Some people develop lisps after getting the piercing and some can't say certain words; it's a challenge. The best way to cover this obstacle is to chew gum while talking and try to never raise your voice with your parents. Louder voices tend to require you to open your mouth further, which can lead to them seeing the new tongue ring.

Of course, parents are sometimes able to see the tongue ring or ball in your mouth. Try wearing colors like light pink or clear to decrease the sight of the ring. If you wear a hot pink or lime green tongue ring you are so much more likely to get caught with the piercing than you would if you wore a neutral, hard to notice color. Another thing to consider is the size of the ball; ones larger than a pea are too big if you're trying to hide it from someone. Don't buy anything too large if you are trying to hide the fact that you have a piercing.

The most common side effect to getting a tongue ring is simple swelling, which is what causes the speech problems. If swelling occurs, the best way to hide it is to soak a tea bag and set it directly on top of the part of your tongue that is swelling. The hot temperature will help the tissue absorb the heat particles and will later decrease the swelling. Tricks like this will return your speech to normal in no time.

Follow these tips, and they will help you- for a while, at least- in getting rid of swelling and avoiding consequences from your parents.
