Why is the area around your tongue ring hard The meat around my tongue ring is kind of thick and hard I have had it pierced for almost 5 weeks I believe so what's goin on?

It hardens up to protect itself from the tongue ring being there. And I even have a round indention on the top of my tongue from the ball pushing down for so long. Hope this helps you!
