Also to know is, how do I know what size my tongue bar is?
Tongue Bar Sizes
The standard gauge for a tongue bar is 1.6mm and all of our tongue bars have the standard gauge of 1.6mm. The ‘size‘ (or ‘length‘) refers to the distance between the two balls (see the ‘Barbell‘ illustration above).
Then, how do I know what size my piercing is?
The measurement that you need is the distance from the piercing hole to the edge of your ear. Take this measurement in a straight line, because if you measure at a diagonal angle you will end up with a hoop that fits larger than you anticipated.
What is the safest tongue piercing?
A standard tongue piercing is a little easier to care for because placing the piercing in the centre of the tongue is safer. There is less contact with teeth and the inside of the mouth, so the initial healing period is faster with swelling reducing in just 2-4 weeks.
How short is too short for a tongue piercing?
