How do you change a tongue ring?
To change a tongue ring, start by washing your hands with soap and water. Gently unscrew the ball at the bottom of the current tongue ring using clean hands or latex gloves. Slide out the old tongue ring and carefully insert the new one, then screw the ball back on tightly.
Can you use a tongue ring for a lip ring?
No, it is not advisable to use a tongue ring as a lip ring. Tongue rings are typically larger and have a different shape than lip rings, leading to potential discomfort or irritation if used interchangeably. It is best to use jewelry that is specifically designed for the intended piercing location.
What is the SMALLEST tongue ring and bar bells to wear?
The smallest tongue ring gauge commonly available is 16 gauge (1.2mm). Barbell lengths typically range from 12mm to 22mm, with 14mm being a common length for tongue piercings. It is important to consult with a professional piercer to ensure proper fit and sizing for your individual anatomy.
Is it normal for a freshly pierced tongue ring to sink in the tongue a little bit?
No, the barbell is too short and your tongue is swelling. The barbell should always be longer for new piercings due to swelling, contact your piercer to see about getting a longer barbell. If left the tongue will swell to a point that will cause the barbell ball to be pulled into the tongue, get on some ice to control the swelling and contact your piercer.
You had your tongue ring for about 8 months if you take it out for a day will the hole close up?
Chances are really good that the piercing will shrink making reinsertion of the barbell difficult, if this occurs visit your local body piercer where they can reinsert it using and insertion taper.
