Can You Vape after Tongue Piercing?

There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including the piercer's recommendations, the healing process of the piercing, and the person's individual healing process. However, in general, it is generally not recommended to vape immediately after getting a tongue piercing.

The tongue is a highly vascularized tissue, meaning it has a large number of blood vessels. This is one of the reasons why tongue piercings can bleed a lot when they are first done. Vaping can increase blood flow to the area and increase the chance of bleeding and swelling. It is also important to avoid hot foods and drinks immediately after getting a tongue piercing, as this can also increase bleeding and swelling.

The tongue piercing healing process can take up to 6 weeks, during which time it is important to avoid anything that could irritating the piercing, including smoking and vaping. Some people may be able to vape after a few days, but it is important to wait until the piercing is completely healed before doing so.

If you are considering getting a tongue piercing, be sure to talk to your piercer about the risks and healing process. Once you have the piercing, follow their aftercare instructions and don't try to vape until the piercing is completely healed.

There are many risks associated with vaping after getting a tongue piercing. The most serious risks are those that can lead to infection, such as if the piercing site becomes infected or if bacteria from the mouth are able to enter the bloodstream through the piercing. Other risks include the possibility of developing cysts or scar tissue around the piercing, and of course, the risk of damaging your teeth if you accidentally bite down on the metal. In addition, if you are using a nicotine-based e-liquid, you are also exposing yourself to the risks associated with nicotine addiction.

There is no research available on how vaping after tongue piercing affects healing. However, it is generally accepted that any kind of smoking is likely to slow down the healing process and increase the risk of infection. If you're considering vaping after getting your tongue pierced, it's important to talk to your piercer and/or doctor first to get their professional opinion.

There are a few risks associated with not vaping after tongue piercing. The first is that the area around the piercing may become infected. This is because the mouth is full of bacteria, and when the piercing is done, that bacteria can get into the wound. If you don't vaping, the area won't be getting the constant cleanse that it needs to stay healthy and infection-free. Another risk is that the piercing may become rejection. This happens when the body starts to push the foreign object (in this case, the jewelry) out. Rejection is more likely to occur if you don't vaping, because the body perceives the piercing as a threat. Finally, if you don't vaping, the area around the piercing is at risk for developing keloids. Keloids are raised, red scars that can occur when the body produces too much collagen in response to an injury. They can be unsightly and painful, so it's best to avoid them if possible.
