I have my ears (7x), tongue, and I had my belly button pierced before having kiddos. None of them hurt that bad when they were done, but the healing process of my tongue was horrid. I had unnatural swelling. They said only 1/100people have the swelling as bad as I did. I stuck it out, and it's fine now.
I want to get something else pierced, just trying to figure out what I want.
That septum looks nice on you. Fun stuff!
