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.
