?Standard? tongue piercings are done using a straight barbell, usually between 14gage to 10 gage. The length needs to be 50% longer than the tongue at rest to accommodate the swelling that will occur.

A strong mouthwash is used. The piercing site is marked on the tongue and checked by you. The tongue is then held in a clamp for the piercing procedure. A needle is passed through the tongue and followed through with the jewelry. Then the clamp is removed and the bead is placed through the tongue piercing.
