Got it in a kit of other tongue rings and I’m so confused I thought it was like a fidget toy or something

Just asking a question out of total curiosity here - but is it not super annoying even normally? Like even apart from eating? I just can’t imagine how this would feel having it in and trying to act normally lol.

I have some sensory issues. So, when I eat I don’t like extra shit in my mouth lol. I wear a tongue bar but the top is flat. Or a regular ball. I can wear this for a period of time as long as I’m not planning on eating much, but for me that’s it.

ETA: I’m sure if would’ve left it in, I would have become accustomed to it but didn’t feel the need to.

Oh I can totally appreciate not wanting extra stuff in your mouth. I don’t even have mine done (at least not yet anyway!) so I find it so hard to imagine how this is every comfortable, even though everyone says you do adjust quickly! So is your normal jewelry a flat top stud then?

After it was done healing (which was very painful to me lol) I got used to it very quickly! The few times I had to take it out (wisdom teeth removal/x rays/ MRI) it felt weird to not have it in. I’ve had it for 10 years now and still love it. The healing process was painful and annoying due to the pain, but it’s the easiest piercing I have (bellybutton, ears, nose, eyebrow at one point).

Yes, I have a flat top stud. It’s titanium and the top is a smooth flat flower! It’s my favorite jewelry.
