Tongue Piercing
I want my tongue pierced really badly. Ive been thinking about it for quite awhile and I like to research what I pierce (13 piercings)... So a few questions about this piercing.
1) What is the difference between 14, 12, and a 10 ga?
2) Can I get it pierced just at the tip and not the center?
3) What is internally threaded jewelry?
4) How much does it swell?
5) How long until I can use my mouth as normal? Like drinking alcohol, eating, making out, anything sexual... [hahaha]?
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate any advice.

1) 14ga is the size for most belly and tongue barbells.
12 is bigger, and 10 is even more bigger. I suggest the 14ga, unless you're planning to gauge your tongue in the future, if so, get the 12ga.
2)You could get it at the tip, but the piercer needs to check it out, due to veins, and also your tongue.

3)Internally threaded jewelry is this:

The thing you screw, is inside the barbell.
I recommend these more than externally threaded barbells, but they are a bit pricey.
4)It depends, the first time I got mine pierced, it didn't swell at all, the second time(repierced) fuck me it went huge. It depends on your body. You may have lisp when it's still swollen.
5)Don't drink alocohol, avoid yogurt cause you might get an yeast infection.
Basically the piercer will tell you.
But it's usually until it's fully healed, so not painful or swollen.
Wait at least two months to minimize the risks. Eat carefully, the first barbell which is longer for healing, you could bite on it, and that hurts like shit.
Ask if you have any other questions :)

I got my tounge pierced the day I turned 18! And to tell you the truth, it doesnt hurt nearly as bad as you think it would. I have gotten my eyebrow, lip, belly button and nipples pierced and the tounge is one of the least painful. lip and nipples the worst! My tounge swelled up a little bit the second day, but after that it went down. I even talked to my mom afterward and she never even noticed! 14 guage is going to be the smallest out of the 3, with 10 being the thickest. Get 14, that is the normal size and almost all tongue rings are a size 14. Thie first 3 days you are going to want to take it easy on what you eat, like really soft foods and soup. It feels more awkward than painful to get started on normal food. You can drink alcohol right away! But NOT beer. It has yeast so you can get a yeast infection in your tounge, doesnt sound to pleasent. But like me, i love beer, so I drank it with a straw to bypass the tongue, then used mouthwash right after. Never had any problems. when you look under your tongue, see the thing that connects it to the bottom of your mouth, well where it meets your tongue about an inch away from the tip, is where u want to get it pierced. The piercer will know the right spot. Getting the tip done will cause problems with your front teeth, and chip them probably, but lots of guys or lesbians get it pierced there, for you know what reasons. If you are not a guy or a lesbian, get it done farther back. Good-luck and you will love it!

I highly reccomend you check out this website: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location).
It has a lot of information about all imaginable types of piercings, and some unimaginable ones too. There is also an area where you can read thousands of first hand accounts of users' own piercing experiences.
I would reccomend it to anyone thinking about getting a piercing, it's really worth a look.
