• Answer:

  LoL:)) sounds like it's healing perfect, my toung was my first piercing (love it still!) and for most people it takes about two weeks to heal. 4 to 8 weeks for all pain to go away. if it hurts to eat stuff like bread or meat, try eating softer foods for while till the pain stops, or cut your meals up smaller then bite size. as long as it's not turning purple or black, or oozing blood or puss your fine. mine hurt whenever i tugged on it for the first 2-3 months. Don't worry about it so much, and dont put pressure on it if you can help it. It will heal much quicker if you give a chance.
