Tongue Web.
What would be the best method for piercing my own tongue web.
I know you're gonna say it's stupid and self piercing is bad.
I have quite a lot of experience in self piercing. I use gloves, make everything sterile and also use proper needles.
I haven't found much information about this piercing, but I love it.
I can't afford to go to a proper place, and I prefer self piercing.
Don't ''give advice'' if you're gonna say something like it's stupid!! Ewww Don't do it yourself.. etc.
Those don't answer my question.

Okay..
But firstly, I need to let you know...tongue piercings are the most dangerous piercing to do by yourself.
There is an artery that runs through the tongue, and if you puncture this, you can bleed to death.
But I guess if you still want to do this...
What my friend Ashley did was take a pin and poke it through her tongue..its really that simple.
Taking care of it is the harder part:
1. Use a barbell that is a lot longer than normal barbells, because your tongue will swell, possibly twice its normal size.
2. Use mouthwash...not Listerine and not anything containing alcohol.
3. If you get an infection do NOT take the barbell out.
4. In about a month, you can change the barbell to a normal sized one...about a 5/8...but dont do this before your tongue is its normal size again!!
But, again, be careful!! This is a very dangerous piercing to do at home!!

I've also not been able to find much information regarding this piercing but judging on the location of where it is (and the risk if it's misplaced being dangerous to the sublingual salivatory glands) it seems it really wouldn't be very easy to do yourself.
If you are looking for reliable information and you just HAVE to do it yourself then I strongly suggest speaking to a professional piercer to get all the information you need from them as well as details on aftercare (considering where the piercing is located the aftercare involved would be a lot more complicated) and you need reliable and accurate details on this and not bits of information from questionable sources.
Let me be very clear here too... I'm NOT saying don't do it yourself because if you feel confident you can safely do it then by all means do so but since information is very limited on the net on this I just suggest speaking to a professional about the details you require or checking up on a reliable piercers web site.
