Anybody has tongue piercing? Or anyone that might want to get a tongue piercing? Think twice because i'm about to tell you a story.

My miss'ess had been bugging me for the past weeks for her to get tongue piercing. At first the miss'ess was contemplating either to get her navel pierced or her tongue pierced. After a few outings and observations. Tongue it is, because there's too many girls with navel piercing, miss'ess said. Her tongue was supposed to get pierced on Wednesday, but my miss'ess was too excited and wants to get it done soon. So we went on Tuesday instead which fell on Labor day. I was reluctant and had a heavy heart to let the miss'ess to pierce her tongue, but all my whining and persuasion came to no avail. So i say, if you can't beat it, go with it.

We went to Borneo Ink located at hartamas. Been there once few years back with my college buddy. I got to say that it's clean and they know how to do their stuff. Before we went to hartamas, i made sure the miss'ess had a full lunch; cheese baked rice @ char chan teng. After tummy has been filled, smoke has been inhaled, the miss'ess with an excited heart and me with a heavy heart marched towards hartamas. We were there at approximately 1PM in the afternoon. Gotten a carpark just infront of the shop, lucky us.

So we enquired the price once we were up there. RM140 the american accent lady said ( or was it RM150?). So the miss'ess agreed and they gave her a petition to signl a petition to save the turtles and pandas, or something like that. It was actually just a number of checklist and agreements for her to sign. hehe.

We went out for a smoke while the lady prepares her utensils and equipments or more like "ka chang" according to the miss'ess. I could see that the miss'ess was a bit nervous when we were having a smoke, just a few steps away from the lift, i told her that we still could turn around before it's too late. Which door did the miss'ess choose? After the smoke, the miss'ess went into the wrong door, door that leads to doom, the door into the shop. The horror!

So i'll briefly summarize what they did for tongue piercing. First they will ask you to guggle your mouth to remove and excess food stuck in the mouth and to rinse the mouth. After that a clam would be place to your tongue, making sure it's firm and clams your tongue properly.(painful according to the miss'ess). A mark is drawn at the upper and lower part of the tongue to indicate where to insert the needle. After that what comes? Pain of course; needle is penetrated from the lower part of the tongue to the top of the tongue. My heart broke when i heard my miss'ess scream in pain, seriously. Felt like punching the shit out of the piercer, but i didn't. hehe. After the piercing, the titanium stick is inserted and then the top barbell was screwed on. You could see the miss'ess face suffering from pain to a satisfied face at that second. Laughing and showing off the piercing.

What was the aftermath? Eating food is like hell, the miss'ess said. It's even more torturing than piercing itself. I guess the miss'es was right, eating porridge for the past two days. But it's recovering throughout the days.

So do you still want to have your tongue pierced?
