Most studios won't use your own barbell unless it was used for a previous tongue piercing you had. See we need to know what the barbell is made of , some barbells available from "novelty stores" are generally junk and that's the last thing we want to put into your tongue. Now if the barbell is the right size for your piercing and you can confirm it's good quality, and the piercer is good with that, they will need to autoclave it before it can be used. This involves putting it in the autoclave to sterilize it before it can be considered safe for a new piercing. So your best bet is to call your local body piercing studio's and see what they have to say. So will, some won't, others might.

Is it possible to shrink a 12 gauge tongue ring to 14 gauge?
Sure take the 12g barbell out for about a week maybe two then put a 14g barbell in the piercing, it should have shrunk by that time.
How do you steralize your tongue ring?
Well at home you can't actually "sterilize" your barbell however if you are looking to just clean it, take it apart and place the parts in a small container or cup and pour 70% Isoproply alcohol on it and leave it for about 15 ~ 30 minutes in the alcohol. That should pretty much kill the bacteria in and on the barbell. Sterilizing the barbell requires the use of a autoclave (used in piercing studios, tattoo shops and hospitals) to actually sterilize the barbell (cycle takes about 30 ~40 minutes). You could take it down to your local piercing studio and for a small fee they would autoclave the barbell for you.
Can you take your tongue ring out early?

How do you change your own tongue ring?
unscrew one of the balls on the barbell [i usually do the bottom one, cause i can clamp it with my teeth to avoid it gowing all over the place] and take it out :L sometimes its kinda hard to get it loosened
You had your tongue ring for about 8 months if you take it out for a day will the hole close up?
Chances are really good that the piercing will shrink making reinsertion of the barbell difficult, if this occurs visit your local body piercer where they can reinsert it using and insertion taper.
Have to get tonsils taken out Jan 7th and had tongue done since Dec 5th will it grow up when you have to take it out?
You may loose the piercing, due to the nature of the surgery, you wont be able to put the barbell back in until you are discharged from the hospital. And at that you will want to make sure that the barbell has been autoclaved* ( *re-sterilized ) before you put it back into the piercing so that it doesn't infect your throat. I would discuss this with you doctor before your surgery and see what he/she has to say about it. Keeping things clean in a post op situation should be your biggest concern, heal your throat first and worry about your tongue later.
Why does your dog has worms in its poop and a yellow tongue?
i would take it too the vet? sounds really sick
I just got a tongue piercing and the swelling has went down some but I noticed that there is an impression in my tongue where the ball sits at the top and the hole has gotten bigger is that normal?
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.

How long before your able to change the barbell in your tongue after piercing it if the swelling has already gone down?
4 - 6 weeks is the usual healing time for most tongues. Now this may be different from person to person but 6 weeks is usually about the longest. It is then that we suggest to our clients to change to a shorter barbell {Usually 5/8"} so as to keep from damaging the palate or the enamel on your teeth. Hope this helps..........
