Yes, but it's possible that the tongue bar you are wearing is too long. Also, your tongue gets thinner when you are dehydrated which will make your tongue bar feel loose in your mouth.

Also, because of the tissue make up of the tongue, the piercing hole is also capable of enlarging and/or migrating to some extent, especially if it is not placed correctly and the stud is too long, or too short. If you are having any problems or concerns, please consult a professional.
