Tongue piercings are most often pierced with straight barbell style jewelry through the very centre of the tongue. Due to the amount of action and movement that the tongue is involved with (speech, eating, kissing, etc.), jewelry size and comfort is especially important. Barbells used for tongue piercing are usually thick , as barbells that are too thin are prone to migration, causing discomfort and irritation. Tongue piercings can often be easily stretched to accommodate larger jewelry so that could be an interesting option too. The beads at the end of the barbell can be made of many decorative materials, including plastic, but the environment of the mouth can cause cracking and discoloration in the jewelry over time. |
