I had mine done, a few minutes after getting it done i went to the pub and was drinking Guinness through a straw, had a few whiskeys and spliffs then had a vindaloo later that night, it hurt like fuck for months because i did pretty much the same thing everyday and did pretty much everything else your not supposed to with it. then when i was smoking a few dubies it would feel like the bottom of my tounge was tearing open and it kept on happening every time i got high and i got high pretty much everyday it was horrible then when i was on the bus i bit it and the ball came out and i tried still a jellybaby in it to keep it open, that was 2 months ago and my tounge is still fucked up! I'd say don't get a lounge piercing if you are going to do what i did! being in pain because your getting high is no fun!
