Typically, when you first get your tongue pierced, a longer tongue barbell, such as 16mm or 18mm, is used to allow for swelling. After the swelling subsides, you can switch to a shorter barbell of around 12mm. It is important to consult with your piercer for the most appropriate size for your individual anatomy.
Normal placement is 3/4" from the tip of the tongue to the top ball. If your tongue is unusually long placement can vary slightly. If you remove the piercing (no sooner than 72 hours from the time the piercing was first done) you will need to wait at least 3~4 weeks from removal date to get the piercing redone. The tongue swells and distends once it's pierced so we need to be sure this swelling is gone and the old piercing had healed up so there is no bump or distension from the old piercing to interfere with the new piercing. edit: did you know people get (not uncommon either) brain abscesses from their tongue piercings? be careful, because this is definitely one of the most dangerous areas to pierce considering how close it is to your brain stem.

No actually there are no pain receptors in the center of the tongue, they are all along the outside edge of the tongue to remind you not to bite your tongue.

Obviously infection is one of the most common issues with tongue piercings but that is all to do with the maintenance of the piercing whilst it heals. Complications with the actual piercing can be quite similar to any other piercings. Nerves are everywhere in your body including your tongue. I have had my tongue done and had a rather painless piercing procedure and healing however a friend of mine had hers done a year ago and a nerve in her tongue was hit and she had swelling and constant pain in her tongue down and down her neck and was unable to eat or speak for over a week. If you are considering getting your tongue done speak to a few people who already have it done and go to a piercer that they recommend and who sound the most experienced.
