This is what I understand of the process.
How much: How much money the procedure costs varies depending on who does it.
What is done: First, you'll choose the post 你 want (what goes through the tongue). They'll talk to 你 about the procedure, and especially how to remove the post in order to clean the piercing. Then, depending on who does it, they may give 你 a local anaesthetic shot to numb your tongue. Once that's taken effect, they'll grab your tongue - usually with some sort of clamp, but not always - and push a needle through the tissue, about an inch back from the tip, where the muscle is a bit less elastic. Then they'll sterilize the wound and insert the post you've chosen. You'll be 给 gauze to staunch the flow of blood, spare gauze for later, instructions for how to sterilize and how often 你 need to sterilize, and maybe some cleaning solution for the wound and the post (this varies). Once they're clear that there isn't abnormal bleeding, they'll let 你 go.
How long does it take: like most piercings, it doesn't take very long. As long as there are no complications, 你 should be out of there within a half 小时 of the initial poke, at most. The healing so the tongue isn't sore takes a lot longer, though, from a few days to weeks, depending on the person.
Does it hurt: The procedure hurts, yes, though less so if a local anaesthetic is used (it's just uncomfortable, then). After the procedure is when it can get bad. Your tongue will never stop trying to heal itself, so 你 will need to get in the habit of removing the post regularly and cleaning the wound so that it doesn't get infected. Almost all piercings can get horrible infections, but tongues are particularly bad. Most people with tongue piercings can tell 你 about their experiences with infections, and the weird-colored discharges that came from their tongues. Aside from infection, 你 also have to keep your mouth very clean to avoid getting bad breath. But if you're very careful and tidy with your mouth, they can be a lot of fun.
