the best bar to use is a long one because your tongue swells a lot and if the bar is too short it can swell over the ball and cause infection or even worse. About a inch long is good but a 1/4 inch size is what i used and it was okay. it all depends on how much it swells and how you keep the swelling down. i would talk with your piercer before.

The standard size for a tongue piercing is usually 14 gauge. However, the exact size of the tongue bar used may vary depending on the individual's anatomy and the piercer's preference. It's important to consult with a professional piercer who can assess and recommend the appropriate size for you.

Nothing if you have any sense. And if you must have a lip ring and nothing else will do, it is best to got to a professional piercer who knows how to do it safely.
