Best Answer

After a tongue piercing, 99% of people will swell up straight away. Fortunately, the length of the bar is then supported due to the swelling. After 7 days, the majority of people will be able to have their bar changed down to a smaller one which is a lot more comfortable! Some people may be able to have a second change down if their tongue is smaller.

What size jewelry should you start off with for a tongue piercing?

when you get your tongue pierced, the piercer will put in a long bar to accompany the swelling, as it does swell quite a lot. But after at least 2 weeks, you may change it to a smaller one. Also, dont keep your tongue bar out for too long, as it does heal quite quickly. It may sting at first while you change it, but just suck on some ice cubes or something. Hope that helped.

What should you expect with your tongue piercing How long does it take to heal Etc?

I have my tongue pierced and ive had it done 9 month soon, you should expect a little pinch when the needle goes through your tongue, but if im honest with you I thought it was going to hurt way more than what it actualy did and you should aso expect your tongue to swell up for a few days and that it will hurt later on that night and especially whe you get up the morning that's when I could barely talk properly with the amount of pain in my tongue, also to swallow your balls it always happens to me and it takes about 10 days to heal and when it does you tend to go back to where you got it pierced and they change it to a smaller bar that is what they did with me

What size length is the tongue stud when you first have your tongue pierced i want to have my tongue pierced buti have a slight gag relex what size do they put in the hole how long is it?

Its longer than what you would normally wear in it because it has to allow for swelling. Don't worry about your gag reflex. Tongues arent pierced that far back and the bar wont be nearly long enough to trigger it. Go to a reputable piercer and you wont have any problems! They know what they're doing!
