You're not supposed to change a fresh tongue piercing for two weeks. Tongue piercings are among some of the fastest healing piercings, but you don't want to change it too soon. If you change it too soon, chances are it will swell up again. If you put a shorter bar in your mouth, it will not be able to handle the swelling. I would recommend waiting at least a week and a half, but two weeks is best.
The barbell is a bit too long, but that's due to the swelling. Once the swelling is gone (about 2 weeks) go back and get a shorter barbell, this will relieve the discomfort under your tongue.

This is because of the jewelry resting on the top of the piercing. I got one with my belly button and my tongue. But the one on my belly button is gone now, and the one on my tongue is almost gone. I got my tongue and belly button pierced about two months ago.

I've heard one story where the piercer went around the vein in the middle of the girls tongue somehow but it's supposed to be dangerous and I'm not sure that they're supposed to do it
Yes u can but it will hurt alot! i have my tongue twice and the 2nd one is close to the web and kinda touches it and it hurts... but after it heals it wont hurt as bad! go for it
Well your piercer should have explained this to you at the time you got your piercing done. Average healing time is 6 to 8 weeks for a light heal, no piercing is "healed" until it's a year old and seasoned. Now for the tenderness under the tongue, there could be a chance you have a metal burr on the ball under your tongue, best to go see your piercer and have them take it out and look, they can change the ball and you are off to the races.

Irritation of the lingual frenulum is most often caused by direct irritation. The frenulum, that thin ligiment directly under the tongue, and that keeps your tongue from touching the tip of your nose, can be irritated by a dental retainer, a tongue piercing, an eating utensil or dental instrument.
