For a properly placed tongue piercing the tongue should be able to extend past the lower teeth by at least 3/4 to 1 inch. Piercing a tongue that can be extended can lead to sever dental damage and gun erosion so having something to pierce is always a safer and smarter way to go. Please be sure to leave tongue piercing to trained and experienced professional body piercers. Placement and prepiercing hygiene is critical to ensuring a safe tongue piercing.

Not all tongues are the same and with that in mind as the tongue gets longer the tongue also gets thicker which mean the piercer must account for the thickness when selecting a correct initial barbell for the piercing. Swelling can cause serious issues during the healing process and the barbell must be long enough to account for the swelling.

Yes. Go check with a piercer. There is also the option of cutting the frenulum (tissue that restricts the movement of your tongue) beneath your tongue to create room for a piercing.

Is it normal for a tongue piercing to move around a lot?

Yes, but it's possible that the tongue bar you are wearing is too long. Also, your tongue gets thinner when you are dehydrated which will make your tongue bar feel loose in your mouth. Try drinking some water or using a shorter bar. Also, because of the tissue make up of the tongue, the piercing hole is also capable of enlarging and/or migrating to some extent, especially if it is not placed correctly and the stud is too long, or too short. If you are having any problems or concerns, please consult a professional.

Quite honestly, I think a tongue piercing looks GREAT on anyone. But really, if you want a tongue piercing, it's about what you think. Not what other people think about it. If you want it, and you know you'll like it, then go for it. You don't have to worry about what people will say.
