prominent Tongue Piercing facts
If you are thinking about getting a tongue piercing, you are doing the right thing by researching the pros and cons first. Tongue piercings are very popular for a myriad of reasons... Be it for shock value, appearance, or satisfaction enhancement (to name only a few reasons). If you are considering a tongue piercing - included but not dinky to piercing of the tongue, tongue web, or uvula - there are several important factors you must consider before getting pierced.
Before we delve into the universal risks, each piercing has its own set of aftercare and precautions to be aware of. The most common oral piercing is of policy the tongue piercing, which to a expert piercer is one of the easiest piercings to perform. Commonly performed directly through the center of the tongue (although the tongue can be pierced in other places - but talk to your piercer first!) and the jewelry of option is always a barbell. The barbell jewelry is used because tongue piercings will come to be swollen for a merge days to a week after the first piercing, and the barbell can accommodate the swelling. After a period of 4-6 weeks, the jewelry can be replaced.
After a tongue piercing, it is Strongly advised not to smoke, engage in oral sex, or kiss. Permissible cleaning should be done frequently, because the mouth is full of bacteria.

Heed the advice given to you by your piercer to preclude serious and unhealthy scenarios!
The tongue web, formerly called the frenulum linguae, is settled beneath the tongue. This is a piercing that is Not applicable to everybody - some population do not have tongue webs pronounced enough to pierce! Many piercer refuse to do this piercing, not because of any overwhelming risks per say, but because most population do not clean their tongue web piercing frequently enough (which leads to plaque build up) or can't keep their tongue on the roof of their mouth while the piercing. If you do get this piercing, clean it Commonly as it is an open wound in the mouth and therefore prone to infection. If the piercing is not deep enough, the body will "reject" or "push out" the piercing - not particularly harmful, but unpleasant and should be avoided all the same.
The final piercing that is fully settled within the mouth is considered an extreme piercing and it is still very rare (and some may argue, fully impractical even by piercing standards). The Uvula, informally known as the "dangly thing" or "punching bag" settled in the back of the throat by the tonsils, can be pierced. Most piercers will not achieve this, even though the policy is simple. Many population do not have their gag reflex controlled enough to successfully go through with the piercing (just dream the hazards of gagging with a sharp needle in your mouth!), and the uvula is very active pierce of tissue hence the possibility of the body rejecting the piercing is very real. Jewelry that is rejected will almost assuredly be swallowed, which can pose health risks.
This narrative is not to deter you from getting a piercing of the tongue, tongue web, or uvula, but it is not wise to trapeze into a piercing parlor (and side note: don't even Think about getting an oral piercing in any place other than a sterile expert piercing parlor) to get an oral piercing on a whim.
