answered 8/6/2010 I Had My Tongue Pierced A Week Ago And Its Been Fine. Yesterday I Noticed A Lump Inside My Tongue Around The Piercing. It's Slightly Sore And I Was Just Wondering If Anybody Knew If This Was Part Of The Healing Process? Is it normal to have a hard time spitting? Because I've been having an incredibly hard time spitting, I've had it done for a week now and it doesn't hurt, its not swollen or infected.
