the best bar to use is a long one because your tongue swells a lot and if the bar is too short it can swell over the ball and cause infection or even worse.

How do you do a tongue web piercing at home?
DON'T PIERCE THE MUSCLE. Use the skin in front of the muscle. My webbing just got pierced nd I pierced it wrong nd I pierced it trhough the muscle it is not the width of 5 quarters stacked up together... The PREFERRED tools to use: 16 gauge hollow needle gloves (if comfortable, some find it to get in the way of piercing his/her tongue web) A 16 gauge circular barbell/captive bead/curved barbell (doesn't matter) Okay, I find that my tongue web has this little part in the middle that is thicker than the rest of my web, kind of like 2 mini balls on the side of my web. DO NOT PIERCE THIS. Pierce above it. Make sure to take care of the piercing, it can become infected easily, it may also reject. Swelling is normal for 7-10 days. Hope this helped. (:
