okay i got my tounge pierced about a week ago an i kno its going through the process of healing because its starting to itch lol but anyways the woman that pierced it pierced it crooked and it takes up a little more ring than it should and i was wondering if they made tounge rings only one size or would i have to special order a tounge ring thats a tad bit longer to fit my tounge?? please help me i dont want to be stuck with this piercing one forever
When first pierced, its supposed to itch. And it should have been pierced with the longest bar. But after a month or 6 weeks, whenever, you can change it to a shorter bar or ring. Whichever you prefer.
There is over 20 different shapes and sizes of tongue rings, so trust me, you won't be stuck with the same one forever.

Tulipg17 answered Wednesday May 24 2006, 7:50 am: When first pierced, they should have given you the longer one. If the swelling is so severe that it is being constricted by the barbell then you should certainly take it out and see a doctor. Otherwise, the swelling shouldn't last more then a week. After the healing is complete and you can replace the ring, you'll find all sorts of shapes and sizes- long and small. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]
kristen22 answered Wednesday May 24 2006, 7:17 am: She shouldv'e already pierced you with a x-tra long 14 gauge barbell because your tounge is going to swell and the long one will accomodate the swelling. Walmart and places like that don't carry the long ones just the regular sized one's for after the swelling is gone. Assuming this woman did a extreme no~no and pierced it with a regular sized one, I wouldn't go back to her but your best bet is to go to another tattoo~piercing shop and get one (there about 15 bucks) they always carry the long ones. But don't go down a size in gauge. (The lower the number the thicker the "bar" will be) [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]
