I had my tongue done for a while.
Things you need to know:
1) Research your piercer. Know about cleanliness, track record for correct technique, protocol for fuckups, etc.
2) A tongue piercing should NOT hurt a great deal. If it does, they messed up. The tongue is supposed to be the second least painful place on the body to pierce. Let me tell you, if they screw up, you'll know.
3) Don't eat anything solid, no matter how hungry you are... or anything really HOT, no matter how cold you are, for a few days. The barbell picks up heat, and on the open wound, can feel kinda scalding.
Now then. I had mine done. They messed up, but it healed okay, and I kept the barbell for 8 months. Why only 8 months? Because out of the blue, my tongue got infected, swelled up, and my doc said "well, you can lose the barbell and keep your tongue, or keep the barbell and lose your tongue". I kept my tongue, thanks very much.
Did it feel sexy? Yes. Did I play with the thing constantly, over my teeth? Yes. Did I chomp down on it now and again while I ate? Yup. Thankfully, I have no damage to my teeth.. because they're exceptionally hard... but many people would have had chipped a tooth for that kind of stuff.
Did it make me a better cocksucker? Nope. It didn't make me worse, but my partner said that I was much better without it. When I went back to not having it, he was quite happy.
