I liked your pics too Hot Mama

Actually, tongue piercing was an option I'd thought about for a while, but then decided that even if I could cope with the initial healing, I think I'd be worried about chipping my teeth with the balls, and as I've had a lot of expensive dental work done and quite a bit still to go, I didn't think it was good idea.
As regards the tongue piercing, I'm pretty sure I read that the advice was that to be good for oral, then it needs to be a bit further forward on the tongue for men, and a little further back for women, to put it in the best spot

, but then the prime consideration has to be avoiding a vein in the tongue first anyway

.
Good luck with it Hot Mama, and if it turns out not as you expected, you can always retire/take it out anyway, nothing lost
