If I had a hole...: ...In my tongue, i would be in pain too. If the pain persists, see a doctor and make sure it's not infected.

Painful piercing!: Ok, you are making me a little nervous here. You wrote” i pierced & have pain in my tongue.” did you pierce your own tongue & if so, how sterile were the instruments? Tongue piercing comes w continued pain as well as swelling, tenderness, bleeding & bruising for around 5 days. If the swelling makes it difficult to breath then you need emergent medical evaluation to ensure that your airway does not.
