The barbell is 14g that is the actual thickness of the jewellery as for how long it it that depends on the thickness of the tongue, that is the job of the professional body piercer to determine what size will best accommodate swelling .

the gauge is usually 14, and the length really depends on your mouth, and the fact that your tongue will swell up a bit the first 2 weeks.

A 14g 7/8" surgical stainless steel barbell is typical for the initial healing period. After your tongue heals you can switch to a 14g 1/2" barbell/tongue ring.
