It is possible to do so, but I advise against it. The mouth is a place that has a lot of germs in it, which is why many people suffer from tooth decay. If you pierce your tongue, germs may enter your bloodstream through that piercing, and this can cause serious illness. If you want body piercing, the tongue is pretty much the last place that you should choose. There are lots of other places to pierce yourself.
Listen closely, you don't want to try tongue piercing yourself, if you screw up and make a mistake you will do serious damage to yourself. Secondly you do not have the knowledge or the equipment to sterilize the materials and jewellery correctly.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacteria responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. This is antibiotic resistant and can be life threatening if contracted. As of just recently there have been quite a few cases of this occurring due to self piercing and poor judgement.
Short barbells if they are too short can result in the tongue piercing swelling to the point where the barbell is drawn into the tongue piercing and emergency surgery has been required to remove the barbell from the tongue.

Plastic or metal tongue ring after you pierce your tongue?
The original barbell must be metal. After that...it's your preference. I don't like plastic barbells because they aren't as sturdy. However, I do like to use plastic balls instead of metal. The metal click against my teeth and can be more damaging.

What do you use to pierce your lip?
Nothing if you have any sense. And if you must have a lip ring and nothing else will do, it is best to got to a professional piercer who knows how to do it safely. If you persist on getting it pierced than you ought to know that they use a needle to pierce it and I think they use a lime to get rid of the pain. But, Yes if you had any sense than you wouldn't get it done, especially your tongue. You tongue can swell but if your lucky you won't have to get your tonge removed.

Straight barbells. The length depends on your tongue/location. To help fight enamel/gum erosion, wear a smaller ball on the bottom than on the top. Try and get acrylic balls to prevent chipping your teeth. Don't wear a ridiculously tiny ball on the bottom or it might get pulled through your tongue. Your piercer can help you pick the right length and ball size.

What types of jewelry can be used in a tragus piercing for example eyebrow bar tongue bar labret stud can you use these?
Labret studs and any kind of ring are best. You could use an eyebrow bar if you'd like but it can look a bit strange because the ball would point down. Tongue bars are way too long. You could use smaller barbells though, they work just as well as labret studs. Just not the same variety :)
