3/4 of an inch from the tip of the tongue, too far back will require a very long barbell and the swelling can be dangerous not to mention the chances of triggering the gag reflex.

How far back does your tongue go?

Mine reaches the very back and I´m 11 years old with a lot of skills


What does a long tongue mean?

It means that if genetically you can stick your tongue out very far.


I got my tongue pierced and its to far back i went to 2 other piercers and they said it was fine but im unhappy with it if i take it out how long should i wait to get it repierced?

Normal placement is 3/4" from the tip of the tongue to the top ball. If your tongue is unusually long placement can vary slightly. If you remove the piercing (no sooner than 72 hours from the time the piercing was first done) you will need to wait at least 3~4 weeks from removal date to get the piercing redone. The tongue swells and distends once it's pierced so we need to be sure this swelling is gone and the old piercing had healed up so there is no bump or distension from the old piercing to interfere with the new piercing. edit: did you know people get (not uncommon either) brain abscesses from their tongue piercings? be careful, because this is definitely one of the most dangerous areas to pierce considering how close it is to your brain stem.


Does the tongue have definite areas for certain taste?

There are different regions of the tongue, but the familiar mapping that indicates separate areas for different types of tastes is a myth. All parts of the tongue are equal as far as tasting.


How far does your tongue go in when you kiss?

it depends on the length of your tongue and the force of the thrust. ---- It doesn't have to go in at all. You can kiss without the tongue action. And then you can start with just a little if you want. It's not too nice to have somebody stick his tongue halfway down your throat the first time he kisses you. Kind of makes you not want to do it again.

Do you need to seek medical attention if your tongue piercing is more than 1 inch back from the tip?

No you do not in fact, the proper placement is at least that far back from the tip, depending on a person's tongue length. The placement varies and of course depends on the person, sometimes they wish it to be as far back as you can pierce it safely to allow for more piercings in front of them. Your piercer should've been careful to avoid the veins that are visable underneath for proper placement and a piercing that will heal well and correctly. If your piercing site is infected, still bleeding, painful or still severely swollen after the general 3 to 4 days after the initial piercing or your tongue is turning gray or black then yes, you should remove your piercing if you can, immediately, & seek medical attention.


Can you ask were you specifically want your tongue piercing?

If you want it in the center you can see if they can put it as far forward or back as you want but it is slightly limited by the tongue frenulum sometimes.


Is it normal for the bottom ball on the tongue ring to go into your tongue a day after the piercing?

You need a longer bar until your tongue swelling recedes. We pierce with a 7/8" bar to minimize this problem.. go back to your piercer immediately. It can cause a severe irritaion if not infection as well. Thanks :] I went down to Evolved on campus today and they put in a 22mm barbell with a big bottom ball so the ball wouldn't go back into my tongue. It's working fairly well so far. The place I got it pierced at here in town used a barbell that was smaller than the barbells people have in their tongue after you have had it pierced for a while.

Can you pierce your tongue in Claire's?

No they do not do body piercing nor are they licensed to.As far as I know, they only do ear piercings. I went there to get my ear pierced and the sign only mentioned ear piercings. Claire's is not licensed to pierce anything let alone ears, however they skirt around health regulations by not mentioning "piercing" to the business licencing authorities.
