What to do when my tongue is bleeding?

My tongue piercing is bleeding on and off, what do i do?

  • I've had my tongue piercing for 5 days now and i was doing everything i was suppose to, using the mouthwash and saltwater. After i finished eating yesterday my tongue started to ...show more

  • Answer:

    Okay, today is Tuesday, I was pierced on Saturday. It was doing fine until this morning, when it was gushing blood. I almost went to the hospital. It did this three times and at the third time, the amount of blood I was spitting out was crazy. I took out the piercing, which was really the last thing I wanted to do. There was still so much blood. In my opinion, if that's that much blood, take it out, squeeze really hard until it coagulates, and let your tongue heal. I'm wrapped in a blanket with dried blood in my mouth, because of some stupid piece of metal. It's cool, yeah, but not worth a serious issue. Good luck! xx

You probably ripped it, but you should be fine. Just keep cleaning it and give it some time to heal, also it might be good to get that special mouthwash Ashley17 was talking about. Don't listen to Mystery and other people who are like that. Most of'em are just trying to scare you into not having a piercing. They're conformist losers who contribute to our society's ignorance. In the words of Richard Pryer they need to "have a coke and a smile, and shut the f*ck up"

I just imagine why anyone wants to pierce their tongue for? Isn't it painful? I can't even tolerate a piece of sweet on top of my tongue for a period of time [at least the sweet get smaller over time, but your foreign body is stuck onto your tongue all the time]. If it keeps on bleeding naturally the piercing must have hit a blood vessel, what else? See a doctor, take it off, before something nasty happens.

take the piercing off. as your tongue is not suppose to be pierced. u body is trying to heal the wounded area. but since you have something blocking it. its hard for it to heal. adn plus ur piercing moves when you get which causing it to start bleeding again. if u keep on bleeding like that, u might scare of the customers at your work. u don't want to bleed all ur blodd and faint do you....
