How to Get a Tongue Stud


Open wide and say "ahhhhhhh." The tongue stud is becoming an increasingly popular form of body art. It's discreet, allowing you the pleasures of piercing without the scrutiny of a more conservative workplace.



Things You'll Need:
Extra-soft Toothbrushes
Toothpaste
Toothpaste
1/2 tsp. baking soda


Step 1
Choose a licensed or well-apprenticed piercer who has experience working on tongues. Confirm that the piercer works with sterilized equipment and disposable hollow needles, wears new latex gloves for each client, offers only jewelry of piercing quality and is accessible post-treatment should you have any questions or concerns.
Step 2
Take long, steady breaths when the procedure begins and focus your eyes on an immobile object. This will help keep your mind off the slight discomfort or pain you may experience.
Step 3
Anticipate a lot of swelling. Initially, your piercer will insert a large barbell to accommodate your tongue's swollen state.
Step 4
Prepare for a few days on a liquid diet. The swelling, discomfort and slight pain will make it very difficult to get solid food down.
Step 5
Return to your piercer after a week for a new barbell that is appropriate for the normal size of your tongue.
