I don't think so. I took mine out to change the balls after 4 days and put it back in. That shouldn't be any different than changing it altogether. Unless your tongue is still swelled after 12 days, but mine went down after only 4
The step down barbell should be put in two weeks after the piercing has been done to prevent dental damage. the the piercing should be left alone for another 4 weeks to allow the piercing to toughen up before you get carried away changing the jewellery.
It's recommended to wait 4-6 weeks before changing the initial barbell in a tongue piercing to allow proper healing. Changing it too soon can cause irritation, swelling, and increase the risk of infection. Be sure to consult with your piercer before making any changes to ensure it's safe to do so.
Seek professional medical attention as soon as possible, dont debate it or wait on it, do it now!
after it has healed which is usually 3-4 weeks from the date it was pierced.
It depends on the location of the piercing. It must be fully healed and then some. They'll usually tell you 6-8 weeks for earrings and at least 2 months for tongue piercings.It depends on the piercing you get :)
You can eat them (CAREFULLY) after the swelling goes down; be sure to rinse your mouth out & keep it clean.
The best and safest thing to do is to go and get another thread on ball or replacement barbell from any professional body piercing studio, you don't want to screw around with your tongue piercing. Get a replacement ball on as soon as possible.
Well we are not big fans of changing the jewellery too soon, but if you have your piercer do it for you so the piercing doesn't get damaged, you should be alright.
It is generally recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks before changing a tongue ring to allow the piercing to heal properly. Changing the jewelry too soon can lead to irritation, infection, or complications in the healing process. It's best to consult with a professional piercer for specific advice based on your individual healing progress.
You should probably wait another week or so. You have gaps in your gums where your wisdom teeth were, and those gaps are highly susceptible to infection at first. If you were to get an infection there, it would be very painful and could cause further problems. Getting your tongue piercing exposes your mouth to new issues. The actual piercing could infect it - it can get pretty germ-y in your mouth. Also, you'll be in pain from the piercing, at least for the first few days - are you up to that so soon?
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.
In 16 years I have never had any one's tongue tip change color, so this leads me to believe there are some serious issues going on with your tongue piercing. Best see your doctor as soon as possible.
