The stud the piercer put in it should be long enough to allow for swelling.
Also, if you put a 16g (which is smaller than a 14g) in it, then the hole itself may become smaller but with some work can be stretched back out to a 14g or larger.

Is it normal for a freshly pierced tongue ring to sink in the tongue a little bit?
A slight sinking of the tongue ring is normal as the swelling subsides and the tongue adjusts to the jewelry. However, if the sinking is excessive or causing discomfort, it's best to consult with a piercer to ensure proper fit and healing.
How long is the barbell ordinarily that is put in when you first get your tongue pierced?
That is based on the tongue size ( not all tongues are created equally ) the thicker the tongue the longer the barbell. This is to make room for swelling. Your professional body piercer will check your tongue and size you for the right barbell to do the job. Two weeks after the piercing is done the swelling will have eased off and a shorter barbell can be put into the piercing to avoid doing dental damage.
What if the piercing disappears under the swelling?
Go to your piercer ASAP. Sounds like your jewelry is too small/tight. Your piercer will be able to put in a longer piece of jewelry if it isn't really bad yet.
Can you change your tongue ring bar to a longer one once its healed?
Go to your piercer when the swelling goes down and they'll change it if its ready.
What size length is the tongue stud when you first have your tongue pierced i want to have my tongue pierced buti have a slight gag relex what size do they put in the hole how long is it?
The initial tongue stud typically used during piercing ranges from 16mm to 22mm in length. This specific size is selected to accommodate swelling that may occur after the piercing. Your piercer will take your anatomy and comfort into consideration to ensure a proper fit. If you have concerns about your gag reflex, it's advisable to communicate this with your piercer beforehand so they can make adjustments as needed.

How long before i can change my Monroe piercing after having it pierced?
Lip or labret ( including Monroe) piercings, as you probably already know, are initially pierced with a stud that is just a smidge longer than you will need long term. This is to allow extra room for the expected swelling that occurs during the first 3 days. So, while the lip is swollen, it's usually a perfect fit. As soon as the swelling goes down, the labret stud should be changed to a shorter one. We usually use a 3/8 inch stud to pierce with, and change it to a 5/16 after the swelling subsides. It is best if you are pierced with internally threaded jewelry, so the piercer, or yourself, can use the threaded end of a taper pin to assist in easily swapping out the 2 pieces without losing connection. If you have problems changing your jewelry yourself, you can buy a piercing widget from a company called www.changemypiercing.com. A piercing widget is a three piece tool used to insert jewelry, or change jewelry, and works with 14 gauge internally threaded jewelry.
Why is the longer leg longer than the shorter leg if the shorter leg is longer than the longer leg?
Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.
