The standard gauge for tongue piercing is 14g (1.6mm) by 3/4" ~ 7/8" (18 ~ 20mm) initially to allow for swelling in the first two to three weeks post piercing. Once the swelling has resolved the barbell should be stepped down in lenght to 5/8" (16mm) to prevent catching the barbell with the teeth and doing any dental damage.
