Tongue piercing scarring is unlikely, but it can occur after a trauma or if you ignore piercing rejection. This will usually look like a white, raised ring around the tongue piercing on either the top or bottom of the tongue. Breaking your teeth is actually quite common in the first few days after getting a tongue piercing. The starter tongue piercing barbell will be quite long in order to accommodate swelling. This also means that it can easily be chomped upon.
Once swelling has gone down, visit your piercer as soon as possible to get fitted with a smaller barbell, and chew slowly while you get used to the new jewelry. As with any piercing, you need to make sure that your tongue piercing has fully healed before changing the jewelry on your own. Your piercing can appear healed on the outside and still have some healing to do in the interior.
If you change the jewelry on your own before the piercing has fully healed, you run the risk of damaging the piercing and prolonging healing. Tongue piercing jewelry is actually a straight barbell: a piece of jewelry with a long bar with two beads on either end.
To insert the jewelry, one of the ends is unscrewed, and the bar is slipped through the piercing hole and secured into place by screwing the bead end back into place.
The length of the barbell will depend upon your anatomy. Your piercer will be able to help you figure out the proper length. Gauge size will depend upon the size of the needle with which you were pierced. Most are pierced at a 14G, but some may opt for the larger 12G. You can also wear flat-back studs. These have a similar look to the straight barbell , but they have a flat back rather than a bead end. In any piercing around the mouth, the jewelry can cause damage to your teeth.
If the jewelry rubs against your teeth, it could contribute to enamel wear, chipped teeth, and receding gum lines. If you have poor oral health or already struggle with some of these issues, then you should think about another piercing instead. While this is untrue, many might assume that your tongue piercing is a sign of your promiscuity. The tongue piercing is a delicate procedure that requires experience. Your piercer should be able to guide you in the right direction and know how to avoid areas that they can damage.
There are a few different places that you can get your tongue pierced, from the standard tongue piercing to the double-pierced frog piercing. The standard tongue piercing takes place at the center of the tongue, but it can be placed further forward or back or even to the sides, depending on your preference.
You can also get a frog eye tongue piercing or a double tongue piercing. This is essentially the same as a standard tongue piercing, but with two piercings instead of one. You can place them close to each other either vertically or horizontally in different areas of the tongue, or you can even spread them out, placing one on either side of the tongue. This piercing type is also ideal for those who want the snake eye tongue piercing aesthetic.
The snake eye tongue piercing is completely unsafe and should not be performed because it pierces multiple muscles and can affect tongue function. Close search. This will help you be able to better predict when your piercing will close. For example, you may feel the hole is healed by week two and assume you can remove the stud or barbell. A tongue piercing takes about six to eight weeks to heal completely. Your body might naturally heal wounds slowly, so the process could take ten weeks.
If you remove your tongue piercing too soon, it can close up in a matter of minutes. It can also increase your risk of infection. Ask your piercer to help you remove your jewelry the first time you do it. When in doubt, see your piercer. They can best advise you on what to do. The first couple of days after receiving the piercing, your tongue will be sensitive to even the slightest contact.
This will only cause bleeding and inflammation. Fidgeting with your piercing will only transfer more bacteria to the site, increasing your risk for infection. You may also experience a good amount of swelling during this time. Much like lip or labret piercings, the tongue piercing is one of the easiest piercings to sit through—but it can be one of the more uncomfortable piercings during healing. Swelling is usually fairly substantial, and it will probably make speaking and eating difficult for a few days, but sitting through the procedure is usually not too bad.
By the time you feel any discomfort, the piercing is already done. The piercer will have a firm grip on your tongue—either with his or her fingers or with a pair of forceps—so with an experienced piercer there is actually very little you can do to mess the procedure up.
Because of swelling, eating may be uncomfortable for the first couple of days. During this time, try not to eat anything that further irritates the area, such as solid, tough, crunchy, or hot spicy or in temperature foods.
It is best to stick with foods that are softer and do not involve much chewing. Chilled smoothies are always a good idea. You will have some readjusting to do in the first week or so while your tongue is swollen. If you simply speak more slowly and carefully, you should be fine.
The day after getting pierced is typically the worst; by day three, at least you can fake it. You know that burning, tingling sensation you get when you use Listerine? This applies to any mouthwash with a high alcohol content. Overuse of Listerine or a similar mouthwash can sometimes lead to oral yeast infections called thrush in children , especially in people with a compromised immune system. If you see a thick, white film developing on your tongue and the back of your throat, quit the Listerine and switch to sea-salt gargles instead.
Once all the swelling is gone and you are fully healed about four weeks , you should change your jewelry to something that fits more snugly to your tongue. A smaller barbell usually makes it easier to talk, easier to hide, and makes it less likely that you will damage your gums or teeth.
Yes, you can.
