Tongue and Lip Piercing | Date Posted: 12/1/2001
| Question
Tongue Piercing
| Answer
Body piercing is becoming more popular these days. As people run out of body parts to impale, many are turning to cheeks, lips and, most commonly, the tongue.
Tongue piercing involves a needle going through the midline of the tongue to insert a stud (or studs), hoop/s or a barbell-shaped piece of jewelry. Oral piercing is usually done without anaesthetic. With no complications, healing usually takes four to six weeks.
