YOU DON'T. How in the heck would you shove such a blunt and wide bar through your tongue? Piercing your own tongue is a horrible idea. You could hit an artery and bleed to death. Go to a professional

No, the barbell is too short and your tongue is swelling. The barbell should always be longer for new piercings due to swelling, contact your piercer to see about getting a longer barbell.

How long is a long tongue bar?

Nothing. The initial barbell you get is long because it has to accommodate for swelling. Its the same kind of barbell, just longer than what youre gonna wear once the swelling is gone
You accidentally spilt where your tongue ring is?
Well I bet that smarts, the problem here is the barbell is too long for the piercing and needs to be shortened. Failure to have the barbell shortened once the swelling goes down can lead to serious dental damage. The tear in your tongue is a tear in your tongue, it will heal but get the shorter barbell in or you will tear your tongue further.
What is a Lock on tongue rings?
