Needle.
Well the only way to put anything into a tongue is to use a needle to pierce the tongue first then put a barbell into the newly pierced hole. (Please quit calling it a tongue ring, it's a barbell and not a ring).
they use a piercing gun or a needle
Yes you can, just use a needle or guitar string just make the same action with the needle as a regular tattoo gun would (up and down)
A gun with a needle like they use on ears. This is absolutely wrong! And actually, you shouldn't get your ears pierced with a gun either, because guns do not come apart, and thus cannot be properly sterilized. Also, at least in the US, working a piercing gun does not make you a licensed piercer. (Claire's, Icing, the Piercing Pagoda, and many other jewelry stores have each of their employees "trained" on using a piercing gun. Many people I know have gone back to a professional piercer to get their ears fixed.) A tongue piercing is done by using a clamp to hold the tongue in place and provide guidance for the piercing needle. The piercing needle (which should be opened from a sterile pack in front of you) is then slowly but firmly pushed through the tongue, while the piercer pays close attention to your body language to make sure no nerves are damaged during the process. If you really want the full details, call your local licensed piercer, and he or she should be able to give you all the info you need. If not, that's not the person you want poking holes in you!
* My nose was pierced with a gun and it didn't hurt at all but then again people tell me that you shouldn't have anything pierced with guns. * I had the needle done, and it hurt like hell, but it is supposedly the healthier way to do it.
normally if you go to a chemist to have your ears pierced they just use a little gun.. it is quite painless.
Put a clamp on your tongue. Then poke the needle through. They usually use a 16-14G Needle. I went in to have mine done with my sister, she was getting her lip done so whilst she was doing that the other man froze my tongue, it didn't numb completely but it did a bit. They lay me down, wiped my tongue so it weren't that wet, put a clamp on it to hold it in place, dot it with a special pen, and then push the needle through it, mine were actually a needle, it was more of a very sharp plastic. It hurts but no bad, once I got out I was eating pizza, but just ot be sure I got listerine and a new toothbrush and to keep it cool, I'm having lots of slush puppies! YAY!

Do not get it done with a gun! Its really dangerous and any piercing shop should know this, if a piercing place is saying they do it with a gun. Do NOT go to them. Do it with a needle only. Guns are only for ears, and your not even supposed to use a gun on the cartilage of your ear, it could shatter your cartilage.
