Tongue Piercing FAQ
What size tongue bar do I need?
The standard thickness of tongue bars is 1.6 mm, but the length varies a lot depending on your particular measurements. However, when you get the piercing done, it’s better to insert a bar that is longer in order to accommodate swelling, up to 22 mm. Later, when the piercing is healed, you can wear a shorter bar and see what is the most comfortable fit for you.
How to clean a tongue piercing?
A tongue piercing takes 3-5 months to heal if you take care of it well. Normally, healing piercings should be kept out of contact with other things to avoid infection, but that’s not really possible for your tongue. You need to eat, right? So you’ll have to be even more meticulous with your oral hygiene than you already are to give your tongue piercing the best conditions to heal in. Use an antibacterial mouthwash without alcohol (it’s important), right after each meal.
Remember to be extra mindful during the first weeks of your healing process: don’t eat spicy food or high in citrus (such as oranges and lemons) and avoid kissing.
When can I change my tongue piercing?
Healing piercings need as much peace and quiet as possible, so do not change your jewelry while your piercing is still healing. Doing so increases the risk of infection, and the few seconds when your tongue piercing has no jewelry in it are enough to let the wound close up. You’ll have to wait, but taking the best care of your piercing is always worth it.
What is the purpose of tongue piercings?
Interestingly, it is sometimes said that a tongue piercing can help ease anxiety. There are a few such beliefs around when it comes to the potential health benefits of piercings, probably due to their obvious association with acupuncture. Yet, there is no evidence that it actually works, so we do not recommend getting a tongue piercing as a treatment for anxiety or any other health problem. The only thing we know for sure is that it adds a great touch to your personal style and self-expression.
