Body Piercing facilities are inspected by the local health protection and inspection office and are licensed by the local city hall business licensing department. Listed in the yellow pages under heading of "Body Piercing" and or "Tattoos". All Body Piercing and Tattoo studios have age limits set by the licensing agency so age limits can vary from town to town and city to city. Prices for piercings can also vary from shop to shop as well as the requirements for parental consent. Your best bet is to call your local city hall business licensing office and ask about age requirements for your area. Then call the local studios listed and ask about shop policies and prices.

- All Body Piercing studios are regulated and work under regional and local health and city licensing regulations. What you may want may not be legal in your area so call and check with your local studios.
- Age limits can vary from city to city and state/province to state/province, contact your local body piercing studios (under the yellow pages "Body Piercing" ) they will tell you what the age limits are for your area.
- Identification is aways needed (Birth certificate, Student card, Drivers license) Parental consent is consent from the legal parents (Mother or Father). Grand parents, Sister, Brother, Second Cousin twice removed doesn't cut it sorry. Unless they are your legal guardians assigned by the courts and have documented proof or this, it just won't work.
- Prices for piercings vary from shop to shop and city to city. Be sure you phone and ask them what the total price is including any *aftercare solutions they may try to sell you (* Professional body piercing studios won't try to sell you aftercare solution, they will recommend cleansers and soaps but that's it if you want it they will sell it but they will not force you to buy it.)
- Do your research, check these places out and find a studio that you are comfortable with, talk to the piercer and discuss you wishes. If at any time you feel like you are being ignored or rushed leave, find somewhere else. Good shops will be busy, but they will also want you to book your appointment, this way they have there full attention on you not everyone else who is asking questions (that's a good thing). Jzuk

When can you talk normal after a tongue piercing?
It's recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks before speaking normally after getting a tongue piercing.

Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and following aftercare instructions will promote healing and minimize discomfort.
Does your Tongue need to be big for a piercing?
There is no tongue size requirement for a tongue piercing. If you want your tongue WEBBING pierced, you have to have a certain type of anatomy (i.e. have to have a webbing that's there all the time, even when your tongue is at rest), but just a regular tongue piercing is possible on everyone. Your piercer will tell you your best/safest options for PLACEMENT (so you might not get it precisely where you wanted it on your tongue), but, as far as I know, everyone can get it done. Unless maybe you have overly huge veins and it was just too risky, but I'm just speculating there.

If you are using the correct type of piercing equipment, you should not have to numb your tongue at all.

Who can get a tongue piercing?
There are two ways to take this question. The first is you asking where on the tongue it can be pierced, to which the answer is simple. It CAN be pierced anywhere on the tongue. Obviously, certain areas will be more prone to cause speech impediments. The next way is of you asking where to get it done (i.e. shop/studio, mall, etc.).
