Bleeding after the piercings is normal. The only worry with tongue piercings is if they hit a vein but you would know, your tongue would be so swollen you couldn’t breathe. It may not have bled right after because they are immediatly sticking the jewelry in the hole which will stop the bleeding

I had two piercings in my tongue, side by side. The first one didn’t bleed at all and the second one started gushing blood. Take good care of tongue piercings, I had gotten infections because of all the bacteria in your mouth. I loved them but now I hate the scars.

Be REALLY careful with the nape. I had mine done and there were plenty of times it got caught on something, even someones arm around me, and ending up tearing my skin a little.

There are also a ton of health risks. I went to someone who I believed was an experienced piercer, he had done many surface piercings before. However, he had done both mine and my friends napes the same day, hers ended up crooked and mine was too deep and if hit the wrong way I could have been paralyzed from the neck down.

Take good care of it, but it is definitely a sweet piercing.

If you’re looking to put some kind of wording then I would look into ambigrams.

Otherwise its hard for another person to give advice on what to get since its not their body. I’ve wanted my tattoos since I was 14 years old, its a hard decision to make since you have to endure some form of pain and the fact it will be on you forever.

Good luck.
