How are tongue piercings inserted? How do you find the position for a tongue piercing yourself?

As the piercing culture is accepted by more and more people, many friends have also come up with the idea of ​​getting tongue piercings and lip piercings. Do you know how to get a tongue piercing? The following editor will tell you the process of tongue piercing.

You must go to a regular disinfected piercing shop to get a tongue piercing. Generally, the piercer will use a sterilized tweezer with two holes on the front end to clamp the tongue until the tongue becomes numb. Then use one hand to clamp the tongue with tweezers and use the other hand to hold a hollow needle through the tongue from bottom to top, stop when the needle reaches the middle, disinfect the small ball at the bottom of the tongue and insert it into the hollow needle, use the needle to bring out the tongue piercing and then screw off the small ball on it.

The tongue piercing site is usually in the center of the tongue. When the piercing is done in the center of the tongue, the risk to the nerves and damage to the blood vessels can be minimized.

Under the tongue, a large number of blood vessels are usually very obvious and extend to both sides. For the numerous taste buds, tongue piercing will not affect the taste. The location of the piercing should refer to the length of the tongue, which includes the length in the normal state and when it is stretched.

There is a little wiggle room depending on how far forward or backward the piercing is set. Generally speaking, the most comfortable position for speaking and eating is to pierce just behind the natural curve of the tongue. If the piercing is too far back, it can cause inflammation of the vocal cords and discomfort. If the piercing is not in the right position, it can cause inflammation of the gums.

The tongue stud should be placed as perpendicular to the tongue as possible. A piercing that is extremely angled (the top hole is farther from the bottom hole) can create pressure at the piercing site and cause scarring. An angled piercing can cause the gums to push against the bottom ball and cause gum irritation and erosion.

The floor of the mouth or under the gums may become irritated due to the pressure and friction of the bottom of the club ball. Inflammation is generally not caused by the small size of the club. If the ball continues to rub against the gums, the club will become a very small ball or disc with rounded edges. If the piercing is close to the end of the tongue or tilted towards the ball, the ball will rub against the gums regardless of its size. Prolonged pressure will cause gum erosion and there is also the possibility of losing the gum directly under the teeth, which will cause gum indentations. This is something to be aware of.

The frenulum is a web of tissue that runs lengthwise along the underside of the tongue. If a tongue piercing pierces the frenulum, it can cause scarring. If the frenulum is very prominent, the piercing should be done as far forward or to the side as possible. If the frenulum is large or prominent, it can become irritated and even cause scarring from the piercing jewelry you wear. A small ball at the base can reduce scarring.

It should be noted that you must rinse your mouth with mouthwash every time after eating. The mouthwash in the bottle sold outside is bactericidal. You must rinse your mouth with mouthwash every time after eating for at least two weeks.

After getting a tongue piercing, your tongue will swell for about a week, so you will have a little tongue slur when you speak. Once the swelling goes down, it will be fine. Generally, when you first get a tongue piercing, you will use a slightly longer piercing because the tongue will swell and a short piercing will feel uncomfortable. When it has recovered, you can change to a shorter piercing, otherwise the long piercing will always feel awkward against the maxilla.

In addition, it is recommended to wear it in the middle of the tongue or slightly in front of the middle, so that it is less likely to affect speech. If it is worn too close to the tip of the tongue, many words will not be clear, and if it is too close to the tip of the tongue, the tongue stud will often hit the inside of the teeth and damage the enamel of the teeth, so it is best not to wear it near the tip of the tongue.

It is best to eat mainly liquid food for three days after getting a tongue piercing, because you are not used to having a piercing on your tongue, and your tongue will be a little swollen, so it is more difficult to eat things that need to be chewed, but you won't be too hungry if you drink more milk, porridge, etc. If you recover well, you can eat normally after three or four days, and you will get used to it slowly.
