DAMN!!! this shit hurt.
Well I got my tongue pierced three days ago,and this 
hurt like hell. I went on google today to look up how to care for the piercing and the first thing it said was NOT to use any kind of listerine. I said to myself," Damn the man at the shop just told me to rinse my mouth out with listerine after everything I eat,smoke,drink, and etc. So now I am really lost on what to do. That's not even the icing on the cake, my ring is too big for my mouth and it's starting to make an imprint under my tongue.Hopefully, it will bee okay by the middle of next week.

the barbells for a tongue
Posted on October 31, 2009, 12:44 pmthe barbells for a tongue ring when first pierced are meant to be large to account for swelling . In a couple months you should be able to change to a shorter bar. as for what to rinse with, use a saltwater wash to gargle with just like any other piercing. and if your tongue is still hurting/swelling get a cup of chip ice and let it melt on your tongue.. I have had mine for around 10 years and using listerine didnt hurt me other than stinging though I am sure some of the rules have changed since I got mine pierced. Hope this helps a little but for professional advice, post it on the forums
