Depends on where you have it done but most places will give you a slightly longer bar to allow for swelling. All mine have been done with a 1.2 mm x 10. However if you have thicker lips they may give you a 12 or if you have thinner lips they may give you a 8. If you realise the bar is too short you can go back and they should change it to a longer one for you.

What is an auricle piercing?

Can you pierce your tongue with an ear piercer?

No. The ear piercing gun and stud are designed to be used on earlobes only. The tongue is a complex group of two major muscles joined by connective tissue and convered by over 10,000 tastebuds and pain receptors. Tongue piercing is intended to go between the muscle groups at least* (*at minimum) to a depth of 3/4 of an inch from the tip of the tongue. The ear piercing gun will not have the reach nor will the studs be long enough to allow for the swelling the will take place after the piercing is done.

When you get your lip pierced do you have to bring your own piercing?

When I got my lip pierced, they already had the jewelry with them, because they have to use a special, longer stud to accomodate swelling. Perhaps if you brought you're own ball(s), they would screw those onto the stud instead of the regular ones.


Can you protect your piercings with tape when you're doing martial arts?

If you have a new piercing that has to keep the ring or stud in for a few weeks, I would certainly recommend covering with tape and would allow it in class. I would not allow someone to spar while wearing them, the risk of injury and damage is too great. Removing the stud for an hour long class shouldn't be an issue, but consult your piercer (I always recommend going to a doctor).
