In your case, I suggest you don't take it out right after you pierced it.
It's different for different people. For me, I took it out in about a month and its already starting to close up in a day. So, i suggest you wait until it fully heals. (which is years....)
2 weeks (14 days)
Stick with the metal bar you were pierced with for the first couple of months.
Why would you do that? But no, they have a specific gauge and length that's crucial to the healing process.
It means there is a small metal stud or ring going through your toungue.
Well the only way to put anything into a tongue is to use a needle to pierce the tongue first then put a barbell into the newly pierced hole. (Please quit calling it a tongue ring, it's a barbell and not a ring).
I have had my tongue ring for almost 10 years, and I have a small hard spot close to the tongue ring. I think it is just the tongues version of scar tissue. It hardens up to protect itself from the tongue ring being there. And I even have a round indention on the top of my tongue from the ball pushing down for so long. Hope this helps you!
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.
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.
don't tell them don't talk much around them To hide a tongue piercing from your parents, you just don't get it pierced. OR you can get a clear tongue ring to put in.
A tongue ring shows ur a freak while a lip pierced shows u might not be able to kiss very wellA toung ring can show ur creativity with the different colors fo the blass, the red, The gauge size, etc. While a lip piercing just looks painful to kiss
yeah you should be able to, as long as the lip ring is the same thickness as the stud you had your nose pierced with, otherwise the ring will not go through. :) hope this helped.
Actually you can move the Barbell (not a ring) up and down once the piercing is done, however playing with the jewelelry in a fresh tongue piercing will irritate the piercing and promote swelling.
