I take it you've never seen the Lizard Man who has the split tongue?This is, I think, the only tongue augmentation (aside from clipping the underside) that doesn't heal back together. When I took my tongue ring out the hole closed within 24 hours.

::cries::I actually knew a guy with a split tongue. He also had his eye teeth filed into points...We weren't friends.

TT, what is clipping the underside?  Although I'm not sure I want to know.

Mrs.Thistletwat

The underside clipping is done generally in small children. Sometimes the piece that attaches the tongue to the mouth is a little too long and the child has speech problems. Solution is to clip the piece to a "normal" length.2 of the kids I used to work with had it done. They loved the fact that their "homework" from the doctor was to stick out their tongues as much as possible.

I had the bottom part of my tounge clipped, TT. I wasn't given that awesome homework, and don't recall having any speech problems?

DH never had the underside of his tongue clipped.  27 is a little too old to do it now and he only has a problem licking an ice cream cone.
