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?
Its longer than what you would normally wear in it because it has to allow for swelling. Don't worry about your gag reflex. Tongues arent pierced that far back and the bar wont be nearly long enough to trigger it. Go to a reputable piercer and you wont have any problems! They know what they're doing!
Tongue problems?
DefinitionTongue problems include pain, swelling, or a change in how the tongue looks.Alternative NamesDark tongue; Burning tongue syndromeConsiderationsThe tongue is mainly composed of muscles.
