6 weeks is a good time period, you are over the swelling and the piercing is well under way with the healing so placing the retainer in it won't irritate the piercing too badly.
Well that would be at the discretion of the professional body piercer providing the service to you, best to talk it over with your piercer of choice and see what they have to say.
There is no length requirement for getting your tongue pierced. Anyone can get their tongue pierced with the exception of people that have their own personal and/or medical reasons.
It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks before kissing someone after getting a tongue piercing. This allows proper time for the piercing to heal and reduces the risk of infection or complications. It is important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your piercer to ensure proper healing.
Typically you should wait at least 30 days before changing the tongue bar that you were pierced with. A shorter surgical steel tongue bar may be put in to replace the original tongue bar after swelling in the tongue goes down.
I got my tongue pierced over a week ago and my friend got her's a year before me. She drank on the third night after her piercing, and the swelling on her tongue went down. I also did the same, and swelling also went down. Just be careful, cause when you drink beer that early after piercing it, the tongue will tingle from the carbonation. My tongue ring is almost completely healed now.
You are left with a hole in your tongue and your food sometimes gets stuck in the hole.
Go watch a video of a tongue piercing on youtube. It takes like 2 seconds for the actual piercing but of course, the clamps go on before that which adds a little more time. So, not that long at all.
2 weeks (14 days)
Depends but usually no more than a week
Usually no longer than a month.
I changed mine out in roughly 8-10 days. I'd suggest around 10 days though if you heal slow.
You need to wait 6 weeks so the piercing has time to stabilize. Changing jewelry too early can cause problems such as irritation, infection and/or scarring.
It is generally recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks before engaging in oral sex after getting a tongue piercing to allow for proper healing and reduce the risk of infection. Engaging in oral sex too soon can increase the risk of irritation, pain, and potential complications for your piercing. It's important to consult with your piercer or healthcare provider for specific guidance tailored to your situation.
