Barbell PiercingWhen a tongue is pierced, they usually start off with 14g. The higher the number, the thinner the barbell and the lower the number ex: 10 gauge, the thicker the barbell.

Best is to start off with the smallest. You will barely feel it in your tongue and slowly move your way down to a thicker gauge if you want.

i got mine done 2 weeks ago and started with a 14gauge. My piercier informed me that---14 is the start off for your tongue!

You can have it pierced at any gauge you wish. In general if a specific gauge isn't requested you will end up with a 14 in your tongue. 16's are simply too small and will easily rip out. I personally don't think any piercings should be done with anything smaller than a 12g because they are all too thin. I have never had anything pierced smaller than a ten.

i would only really get a 14 gage cause that's all they pretty much sell in stores....im getting mine and i will be 16 soon.........

Just so you know...the bigger the number, the smaller the barbell actually is. A 16 is actually going to be smaller than a 12, or the standard 14 that they use for piercing tongues.

I was actually pierced with a 10g (standard initial gauge is 16), but you can go as large as you want (eg: 00)

It's based on the thickness of the tongue with an allowance for swelling, a professional body piercer will be able to asses the size required for the tongue being pierced.

On average, your ear lobe is pierced to fit 20-18 gauge earings, but ask your piercer to make sure that you know the correct size that they did it by so you don't buy the wrong size jewelry.

Depends on the size of the tongue getting pierced, the professional body piercer will measure the tongue to ensure the correct size is used.
