I changed mine out in roughly 8-10 days. I'd suggest around 10 days though if you heal slow.

Can you put your tongue ring back in after you have had it out for a long time?

Many times, the hole will close and you will to get it pierced again. However, sometimes you can still slide it in, it's a case-to-case basis.


What size jewelry should you start off with for a tongue piercing?

when you get your tongue pierced, the piercer will put in a long bar to accompany the swelling, as it does swell quite a lot. But after at least 2 weeks, you may change it to a smaller one. Also, dont keep your tongue bar out for too long, as it does heal quite quickly. It may sting at first while you change it, but just suck on some ice cubes or something. Hope that helped.


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.). Again, a simple answer, the best place to have it done is at a reputable studio. No place except a studio will pierce a tongue and if they do it's grounds for a lawsuit.


If you just pierced your tongue and you take it out will it close?

They usually advise you to NOT take out your tongue-stud for at least the first month since your body has just undergone a rather painful experience and had a foreign body inserted into it. When I had mine done for the first 6ish months if I took it out for longer than one hour it would start to close, not dramatically so but enough that I had to push to get it through again. I can't remember how long it was before I could take it out for long periods of time aka overnight but I think over a year.

How long after a tongue pierced can you have a beer?

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.

The barbell has to be longer to allow the tongue to swell, failure to allow for room can result in the barbell being pulled into the piercing and requiring surgical intervention to remove it from the tongue.

How long is a long tongue bar?

Each barbell is scaled to the size of the tongue to be pierced therefore there is no "actual size" barbell for tongues, this is why you need to have the piercing done by a professional body piercer who will scale and measure the tongue and place the correctly sized barbell into the piercing.
