The original barbell must be metal. After that...it's your preference. I don't like plastic barbells because they aren't as sturdy. However, I do like to use plastic balls instead of metal. The metal click against my teeth and can be more damaging.
Stick with the metal bar you were pierced with for the first couple of months.
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).

I really have no clue, but please, don't pierce your tongue! It can cause many dental problems, like receding gums, a swollen tongue, and it's especially painful. Nobody uses and pain-number when piercing tongues. The tongue ring can also scratch the enamel off teeth, causing you to get a ton of cavities and eventually your tooth to fall out. It can also cause tooth pain. If you pierce a nerve or a vain, your tongue could swell so much you would suffocate (it happens pretty often), or your tongue would permanently hurt so long as you kept the ring on. Seriously, do not pierce your tongue!!!!!!Even though some of the above is correct, it doesnt really answer the question.Don't pierce your tongue yourself. You risk infection, disease contraction, and severe blood loss. Go to a professional and they'll know where to pierce it.
It means there is a small metal stud or ring going through your toungue.
No. She just has jewels glued on her lip for the video
Just a ring of metal and a moulded plastic sheet :)
Yes, your body responds to the metal.
Absolutely! Think of eating. Food passes over your tongue, and it gets caught on your ring. It gets stuck inside your tongue and your tongue gets infected. Know the risks and do a lot of research before you pierce your tongue.ANSWERMany people, including possible employers find the pierced tongue revolting, nasty and low class and will not hire a person who has disfigured him or herself in such a way.

Pierce it.
If you ask your piercer, they should be able to put a clear glass retainer in instead of a ring or metal stud.
I don't have a white ring under my tongue.
