Tongue Piercing

                     This is one of my favourite facial piercings. The tongue piercing is a strait bar vertically through the tongue, it is originally located in the centre of the tongue but has lately become popular in random spots with multiple piercings. When you get a tongue piercing the first thing the piercer does is check the under side of your tongue for large blood vessels, looking a safe placement for the piercing , your tongue is then pulled out to its limit and clamped and held with forceps, a piercing needle or cannula needle is used to quickly penetrate and go through the tongue, used properly the needle should pierce the tongue as quick as a flash. Barbells are the jewelry put in the tongue but before you get some fancy piercing  you need a considerably longer bar so the tongue can swell while healing, this is very important, you need to keep the longer bar in until the piercing is partly (6 weeks or so)healed or you can get a really bad infection or ruin the piercing, its takes 6 months for the piercing to heal completely. That was some basic information on one of my favourite facial piercings, The tongue piercing.
