The second thumb rule of choosing jewelry is to keep your body-type in mind. Most jewelry is very elegant, and keeping this in mind, their sizes are usually small. This however, poses a problem with the plus sized women, who feel that most jewelry look miniscule compared to the rest of their body; and this in fact, creates the illusion of a larger size.
I know that tongues have a lot of blood in them, will I loose too much blood if I get my tongue pierced?
Once again, this should NEVER happen. A trained piercer will examine the vein structure of your tongue and he or she will also know where it is safe to pierce. One benefit of all this blood in the tongue is that it tends to heal faster after a piercing. It is considered normal to bleed a little, after all, you are puncturing your body. But if the amount of blood loss concerns you, immediately consult with your piercer or with a medical professional.
