OK, so I got my tongue pierced May 27, 2000. I had been living in Orlando, FL for about 2 months when I got it done. I had been wanting to do something for a while. I thought I couldn't get a tattoo cuz of my religion, and the hole in my tongue (a muscle) will close up in like 12 hours if I take the stud out. Jen and I got our tongues pierced together. As some may not believe, this time *I* was the instigator. Being the one to always be the first to do things, she had to get hers pierced just so I wasn't the only one! hehehe

But the wuss took hers out long before I did and in 12 hours or so, the hole was closed up. So that's how I know...

See.. told ya! I took it out... see the pictures!

My cool new tongue stud!	Me and Charity. She got hers pierced the month before Jen and I got ours done.
Self-Portrait the day of the piercing... man! I love this thing... it's so funky.	Jackson enthralled. I was holding his hands so he didn't grab it (his fave game!)
