This site will not provide "how To" information that can lead to serious personal injury due to information posted here. Body piercing is a regulated and controlled industry and there are lots of professional body piercers available to provide this service in a safe and professional manner using only the best materials and methods to prove the service. Doing it your self doesn't make it hurt less nor does it save you any money, you run a better than 70% chance of doing serious damage to the tissue and subjecting your self to needless pain and discomfort.
The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

What can you put in place of a tongue ring when you dont have one so that the hole doesnt close?
You can use a piece of retainer jewelry made of plastic or silicone to keep the hole from closing without having a tongue ring in place. Alternatively, you can visit a piercing shop and ask them to insert a temporary acrylic or glass retainer that will maintain the hole until you can reinsert your tongue ring.
Will your tongue split as you have a tongue piercing?
No, getting a tongue piercing does not cause the tongue to split. The piercing involves creating a hole in the tongue for the jewelry to pass through, but it will not split the tongue itself. Splitting the tongue is a separate body modification procedure that involves surgically cutting the tongue in half.
You had your tongue ring for about 8 months if you take it out for a day will the hole close up?
It's possible that the hole could partially close up in a day, but it may not fully close depending on how long you had the tongue ring in for. The longer you had the tongue ring, the longer it may take for the hole to close completely.
Can you put super glue on your tongue?
No, it is not safe to put super glue on your tongue. Super glue is a powerful adhesive that can bond skin and other surfaces together, causing serious harm and potentially leading to toxic effects if ingested or exposed to mucous membranes like the tongue. If you accidentally get super glue on your tongue, seek medical help immediately.
How long before a new tongue piercing closes?
A new tongue piercing can start to close within hours to days if jewelry is removed, as the tongue is a fast-healing area due to its rich blood supply. However, it can take several weeks to fully close up depending on individual healing characteristics and how long the piercing has been in place.
