lol I have a tattoo and prob. just a little less pain than what you will be having. I would go to the Tattoo place and ask them. Because it usually scabs, but if its in your mouth where it's wet, I'm not exactly sure what will happen. But you don't wanna bite it!! lol I'm guessing it will be a little swollen bc of where its at and a (i'm guessing) sensitive area. But I would call just so you know what's coming.
