I am sure this will vary from person to person depending on hygiene and the gauge of the piercing. Personally, mine was swollen for around three days. Make sure you follow ALL of the cleaning recommendations of your piercer in order to prevent infection and reduce the swelling time.
Be lucky it hasn't yet, haha. Usually after the first night. When you wake up your tongue will be huge. It sucks, but suck on lots of ice and taking Tylenol every 4-6 hours helps tons. Good luck. Swelling should be gone in about a week.
It takes about two hours at the most for the swelling to go down. After you have taken out your piercing, your tongue will feel better straight away!Remember to rinse your mouth with a good mouth wash to prevent any further infection. It takes about two hours for the hole to close up completely.
Typically swelling will take up to two weeks to ease off, a little each day. Stay on top of your aftercare and the cold stuff for swelling and you should notice a difference in the next few days. After two weeks it's a good idea to see your piercer, have him/her check to see if you are due for a step down barbell. If so get it done and then stay on your aftercare. It will take a full 6 to 8 weeks for the piercing to settle down to an almost prepiercing condition.
2 to 4 days
A complete healing of tongue piercing can take up to 4 weeks.
About 3 days max.
Swelling from a new tongue piercing typically peaks around 2-3 days after the procedure. It can take up to 2 weeks for the swelling to fully subside, depending on individual healing times and aftercare practices. Make sure to follow proper aftercare instructions provided by your piercer to help reduce swelling and promote healing.
you can get your naval (belly) piercing at 13-17 as long as you take an adult and the same applys with the tongue piercing but they may tell you to wait until you are 14
it takes up to a few weeks
No. The ear piercing gun and stud are designed to be used on earlobes only. The tongue is a complex group of two major muscles joined by connective tissue and convered by over 10,000 tastebuds and pain receptors. Tongue piercing is intended to go between the muscle groups at least* (*at minimum) to a depth of 3/4 of an inch from the tip of the tongue. The ear piercing gun will not have the reach nor will the studs be long enough to allow for the swelling the will take place after the piercing is done.
Around 6 to 8 weeks
Nope, i've had my tongue pierced, and i didn't have to take my lip piercing out.
Well actually that's not a good thing, the barbell was too short for the piercing to allow for swelling, the expansion of the piercing hole is and indication of some sensitivity to the metal or the aftercare product you are using. Consider seeing your piercer tomorrow to have them take a look.
A tongue piercing typically takes about 4-6 weeks to heal. However, complete healing can take up to 2-3 months. It is important to follow proper aftercare instructions to avoid complications and promote healing.
Anywhere from 2-4 weeks. It varies from person to person.
It takes as long as it takes once a piercing has healed it depends on haow long you leave the jewellery out, if you are done with the piercing it can take a few days to several weeks for the piercing to actually close once it's a seasoned piercing (seasoned being over a year old).
