What is the standard size for a tongue piercing?

A typical tongue piercing is done with a 14 gauge (14G) high grade titanium, or gold barbell measuring 7/8-inch. Note that’s the size of an initial tongue piercing; once healed the length of the barbell can be shortened.
Can you get a small tongue piercing?
They should be made from either titanium or surgical steel, so you need to ensure you’re not allergic to either metal. You can choose any colour, but ensure you are not pierced with a short bar or ring. You can get a shorter bar once the swelling has reduced.
When can I downsize my tongue piercing?
2 – 4 weeks
My advice to everyone is to downsize their jewelry as soon as swelling goes away, usually in 2 – 4 weeks after initial piercing. Sometimes it may even have to be downsized again. The traditional tongue piercing is only done through the tongue muscles vertically between both muscles.
What happens if your tongue ring is too small?
Starter Tongue Barbells If your starter tongue barbell is too short, causing the top and bottom balls to press into your tongue, that pressure can lead to necrosis (i.e. tissue death), which can eventually cause infection if it continues for too long.
How do I know what size tongue bar I need?
Unless your piercer recommended a specific length for you based on the thickness of your tongue, try downsizing to a 5/8″ straight barbell first. You can try a size longer or shorter if you find the standard 5/8″ length isn’t a good fit for you.

What happens if you don’t downsize piercing?
Without downsizing a helix piercing, the longer jewelry can actually cause the piercing to migrate. Migration of a piercing means that the angle of the channel changes. This can cause irritation, crooked piercings, or even loss of the piercing itself.
How long can I keep my tongue ring out?
While the initial piece of jewelry used for your piercing may not be your favorite, it’s important to make sure it stays put over the next eight weeks. Removing the stud too soon can increase your risk of tears and infections.
Why do you drool when you get a tongue piercing?
It’s unfortunate that you didn’t know before you got your lip pierced, but any time you get an oral piercing, it stimulates the salivary glands, which would explain your increased drooling. It may dissipate over time, but it will likely continue to be a problem for you for the duration of your wearing the piercing.
