Not all tongues are created equal, the barbell needs to be sized for the tongue to which it is going to be put into with room allowed for swelling. This will all be done when you see your professional body piercer for your appointment

The standard length for a tongue piercing bar is typically around 1 inch (25mm) in length. This allows for swelling that may occur after getting the piercing. The initial bar can be replaced with a shorter one once the swelling goes down to ensure a proper fit.
