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.

A tongue piercing should be placed about 0.5-0.6 inches (1.3-1.5 cm) back from the tip of the tongue to avoid damaging teeth or causing speech issues. It should be done by a professional piercer who can accurately determine the ideal placement based on individual anatomy.

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.

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.


How far back does the tongue go?

The tongue extends back to the base of the mouth, where it is attached to the hyoid bone and the mandible (jawbone). It also reaches towards the epiglottis, which helps with swallowing and preventing food from entering the windpipe.

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.
