That's not recommended because it would hurt because you are piercing it with a smaller size then you are going to have in.
A 14G tongue piercing is bigger than a 16G tongue piercing. The "G" stands for gauge, with a higher number indicating a smaller diameter. Therefore, a 14G piercing is thicker than a 16G piercing.
The size of the barbell depends solely on the size of the tongue being pierced and the selection is generally done by the professional body piercer at the time of the piercing. Be smart see a professional body piercer.
It depends on your anatomy and the placement of the piercing if you're asking about length. For gauge, its usually either 16ga or 14ga.
The standard gauge for tongue piercing is 14g (1.6mm) by 3/4" ~ 7/8" (18 ~ 20mm) initially to allow for swelling in the first two to three weeks post piercing. Once the swelling has resolved the barbell should be stepped down in lenght to 5/8" (16mm) to prevent catching the barbell with the teeth and doing any dental damage.
The standard size for a tongue piercing is usually 14 gauge. However, the exact size of the tongue bar used may vary depending on the individual's anatomy and the piercer's preference. It's important to consult with a professional piercer who can assess and recommend the appropriate size for you.
Whenever you go in for a Monroe piercing, the piercer will take a needle, usually either a 18-16 gauge, and pierce your lip with that. It doesn't leave a big hole at all. But, if you want to gauge your Monroe, then you could have the piercer pierce with a bigger gauged needle, or just gauge it out yourself.
The smallest gauge needle that I'm aware of is 22g. But no one will pierce you with anything less than 20g, and that's usually in the nose. But, the standard size piercing needle is around 16-12g, but you can make a request to be pierced at a larger gauge, if there's sufficient flesh for it to go through.
Mine was done with a 16g needle (:
14 ga.
Yes, but it's not easy, and the bigger the gauge, the more it hurts to stretch.
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. (:
Yes, as long as the gauge is correct for the tongue piercing - for example : nipple bar is 14 gauge - usual tongue piercing jewellery is 14 gauge and the length of the nipple bar is the correct length for the wearers tongue (this varies from person to person). Basically - if it fits - wear it!
It is not a must, But it is a good idea to use a needle that is slightly bigger than the jewelery you are using to allow for swelling and to also allow air flow so that your fresh piercing heals faster. ergo if you are using a 14 gauge piece of jewelery you should use a 12 or 13 gauge needle.

Medical uses, scientific uses, piercing uses.
No, order a sterilized 14 gauge hollow piercing needle, a set of forceps, and a sterilized jewelry and you're all set. You can get all of that for about 10 bucks from Painful Pleasures
