Tounge Rings are becoming more and more sexy and are appealing to everyone in the body jewlery world.
Tongue piercing is most popularly done with straight barbell. 14 Ga is the most general gauge used. In order to give room for swelling, the
initial length of the pierced barbell should be at least 3/4″. When the tongue piercing is completely healed, you can change the tongue to a more common length of 9/16”. It’s is highly recommended to switch the longer tongue ring for a shorter one, as a shorter tongue ring will not move as much in your tongue.

Often one of the beads is united, either via epoxy or welding, so that only one bead is used to fix or remove the body jewlery. Straight barbell tongue ring threads are mostly right-handed.
