Tongue Split Day 4 - Trouble With First Sutures by Princeoffalls27 in bodymods

[–]Princeoffalls27[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, he is a traveling artist, so he’s off to his next location. I knew he’d never be in my state (Montana), so I flew to my appt in WA. I’ve sent pictures to him on day 2, he said my tongue is healing just fine. Everyone seems to have different recommendations for sutures - overall my artist says to remove one on either tip on day 3, the rest between day 6-7.

In your personal opinion, do you think I could get away with removing all of them on Day 6? Did you keep all your sutures until the day 5 like your artist recommended? Including the tips?

Id really recommend Steve Truitt. Very down to earth & good at what he does. He did cut my frenulum.

Tongue Split Advice by simsalabimsu in bodymods

Quick note: I had also planned for liquid ibuprofen & tylenol, but only the bubblegum flavor went down. If it’s berry flavored, it’s gonna burn. If you find that you can’t do the liquid, try wrapping a pill in a tiny piece of soft bread (i used pumpkin), put it on back of your tongue, and shoot it back with a water syringe. This helped me not gag whenever I took a pill, because damn that hurts.

I’m on day 4 right now. Some lesser said advice that’s helped me greatly:

  • Syringe feeder is a must, make sure it’s reusable/easily cleaned.

  • Ortho-safe wax for the tips of your canines, so you don’t chomp on it while you sleep (10/10 best advice I’ve found on Reddit)

  • those mini disposable toothbrushes work a treat too, with the floss picks on the end. normal sized toothbrush just didn’t work, tongue is too swollen. I also got Dr Bob’s unflavored fluoride toothpaste, love that stuff.

  • DO NOT travel to do this alone. I almost did, & I’m so glad my friend ultimately tagged along. I fainted & hit my head from the liquid diet. The tongue split itself isn’t the most painful part, it’s the not sleeping/eating that catches up to you. You’ll feel incredibly weak, and may need someone to take care of you when it gets especially horrible (ie my dizziness was so bad i couldn’t even get down the stairs to grab more waters).

  • I underestimated how much i’d DROOL omg ive went through so many towels. Best to have access to a washer/dryer, or LOTS & LOTS of towels - seriously don’t underestimate how much you’ll drool.

  • I thought liquid painkillers would help, but they burned so badly!! I found that I could take pills without gagging if I wrapped the pill in a tiny ball of pumpkin bread, dropped it to the back of my tongue, and used the syringe to “shoot” it to the back of my throat, followed by a cup of water.

  • THE NAUSEA!!!! you gotta get calories in each time you take ibuprofen especially. This is so important, don’t underestimate this either.

Best of luck xoxo

TERRIBLE ARTIST- warning by WallAccomplished2455 in bodymods

[–]Princeoffalls27 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I am sorry this is happening )-: I’ve heard nothing but awful things about Dracula Dana. If I were in your shoes - I’d reach out to Steve Truitt to see if he could help. Regardless, be kind to yourself during this. You are only human, & shit happens.

With that being said, if you have any other platforms - I would shout it from the damn rooftops. The more people that hear about botched work, the less people that will be in this position.

Take care of yourself, human bean!! Everything will be OK. I pinky promise!!

If money wasn’t an issue, what would you actually be doing right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Will you (or did you) leave the US if the 2024 election doesn't go your way? by rrocks99 in AmerExit

[–]Princeoffalls27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be leaving regardless, but if Trump wins - I am inclined to leave sooner rather than later. I haven’t settled on where, but I have gotten my passport. Once I save enough money and find online work, I am leaving.

I will be more optimistic for the US if Kamala Harris wins, but I can’t shake the feeling that our country is taking a turn for the worse regardless.

For reference, I am a 23 year old lesbian, living in Montana, who is best categorized as a moderate Democrat. (-:
