Placement: Middle of the tongue, distance from the tip of the tongue varies depending on individual anatomy.
Troubleshooting: Since oral piercings will swell in most cases, your initial jewelry will be longer to allow for swelling. If your swelling gets worse, consult your piercer. After 2-4 weeks, have your jewelry changed to a shorter one by your piercer.
Retiring: Oral piercings can close very quickly even if you have had it for years. To ensure that you won't lose your piercing, always keep the jewelry in. The scars for these are hardly noticeable with an uneventful healing process.
