DON'T PIERCE THE MUSCLE. Use the skin in front of the muscle. My webbing just got pierced nd I pierced it wrong nd I pierced it trhough the muscle it is not the width of 5 quarters stacked up together...
The PREFERRED tools to use:
16 gauge hollow needle
gloves (if comfortable, some find it to get in the way of piercing his/her tongue web)
A 16 gauge circular barbell/captive bead/curved barbell (doesn't matter)
Okay, I find that my tongue web has this little part in the middle that is thicker than the rest of my web, kind of like 2 mini balls on the side of my web. DO NOT PIERCE THIS. Pierce above it. Make sure to take care of the piercing, it can become infected easily, it may also reject. Swelling is normal for 7-10 days.
Hope this helped. (:

Lets understand the issue of being tongue tied, tongue tied means having and over developed frenial web connecting the bottom of the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. If this web is too long and reached the tip of the tongue then tongue piercing can't be done safely. Piercing the tongue to one side of the web or the other will not resolve the issue and can only cause further oral health issues down the road. The only way to get a tongue that is "tongue tied" pierced is to see an oral surgeon and have a frenectomy done. This is where the frenial web is cut back so the tongue appears to be the same as a normally developed tongue. This procedure is expensive and is generally not done unless the web is causing other issues for the individual like impairing speech. Tongues are generally pierced three quarters of an inch back from the tip of the tongue. The barbell is sized by the piercer to allow for swelling and freedom of movement and will need to be shortened after two weeks post piercing to prevent dental damage and gum regression. Piercing the tongue any further ahead will cause issues with dental damage and gum regression. Any one who has or believes they have a tied tongue should consult with there doctor and dentist before considering getting a tongue piercing. Not every piercer knows how to handle these situations so you need to know you are dealing with a truly experienced body piercer and not some novice who hasn't got the experience of training to handle this form of piercing properly. Aftercare for the tongue piercing is the same regardless of the tongue in question, these instructions will be given to you by your professional body piercer verbally as well as in writing.
