What should you expect with your tongue piercing How long does it take to heal Etc?

I have my tongue pierced and ive had it done 9 month soon, you should expect a little pinch when the needle goes through your tongue, but if im honest with you I thought it was going to hurt way more than what it actualy did and you should aso expect your tongue to swell up for a few days and that it will hurt later on that night and especially whe you get up the morning that's when I could barely talk properly with the amount of pain in my tongue, also to swallow your balls it always happens to me and it takes about 10 days to heal and when it does you tend to go back to where you got it pierced and they change it to a smaller bar that is what they did with me
