Salt water is great for cleansing sores in your mouth (gargling it at least). Can't see why that would be bad for cleansing your tongue piercing. (Just don't swallow! Ouch.)

Is salt dissolved in water a solution?
Salt mixed with water is salt water and you can use it to clean wounds in your mouth or sometimes they want you to use with cooking but not always but what i use it for is canker sores in my mouth i use salt and water solution to help them heal. Another way i use it is if you get a fresh piercing you can soak a cotton ball in a salt and water solution and hold the cotton ball to you piercing for about ten minutes and then with the left over salt ans water solution if you have some sort of mouth piercing you gurgle you mouth and make sure most of it gets to the piercing. So to answer your question yes salt ans water makes some sort of solution and i hope that is the answer you were looking for. :)
Can you use sea salt on your piercing?
Absolutely, I have always used just sea-salt soaks on my piercing and have never had a problem and actually healed faster than most people. However, you must be sure to wash the area (maybe not the piercing directly) with an antibacterial soap, and if it's your tongue you will want to use an alcohol free mouthwash along with the salt soaks.
What if you don't have sea salt or mouth wash to clean a tongue piercing what else can you use?
Warm water is really the only alternative. You definitely need to either pick up some natural sea salt or alcohol-free mouthwash ASAP
Can you use a tongue ring to do an industrial piercing?

Yes if you used boiled water and 1 tsp of salt to 1 pint of water.
When cleaning a piercing does using uniondized salt hurt?
If you were to clean your piercing with salt by itself, it would certainly hurt! What people actually clean their piercing with is saline solution- a mix of sea salt and water. (A good ratio to use is 1 table spoon of salt per cup of water.) The saline solution itself should not hurt your piercing. However, sometime cleaning a piercing will irritate it. This may hurt, but the salt is not responsible.
Is it ok to use table salt instead of sea salt for an infected ear piercing?
No, you shouldn't be using salt on the piercing at all if it is infected. Wash the piercing using lathered soap, work the soap into the piercing and then irrigate the piercing with running water while rotating or shuffling the jewellery to rinse the soap and infected dishcharge from the piercing.
