Yes, your taste buds would still work. Tongue tattoos never come out very well though, and most tattoo artists won't do oral tattoos.
A friend of mine had it done and it washed off pretty much the next day. I think it was the fact that it's (obviously) constantly moist in your mouth.
wow, ive never heard of that before sounds interesting...... zeitgeist is your sig about you being a cellist? cos I am to and I take joy in it also
It doesn't "wash" off.. If a tattoo artist does it correctly it should stay, but it will definitely fade. The amount of movement the tongue does plays a huge part in healing and the overall look of the tattoo when it's healed.
what i wanna know is...... how would you eat for the days/weeks after its done... because of pain...?
