The first thing I did both times was to take some ibuprofen before hand and made sure to have a large supply of ice chips for afterwords.

Don't eat anything for the first few hours. Don't eat any solid foods (only liquids) for 24 hours. Don't smoke, don't drink any alcohol, don't drink out of straws and don't eat dairy products for an entire 3 - 7 days after your piercing (or until the pain subsides). Try ice on your tongue to relieve some of the pain.
