Tongue Piercing

A Tongue Piercing ,a body piercing through the tongue, usually directly through its center. Permanent or long term piercing of the tongue is part of the resurgence of body piercing in contemporary society.
Tongue piercings are most often pierced with straight barbell style jewelry. Due to the frequent movement of the tongue, jewelry size and comfort is especially important. Barbells that are too thin are prone to migration, causing discomfort and irritation. Tongue piercings can often be easily stretched to accommodate larger jewelry. The beads at the end of the barbell can be made of many decorative materials, including plastic, but the environment of the mouth can cause cracking and discoloration in the jewelry over time. "No-see-um beads", flat beads matching the color of the tongue, are sometimes worn to conceal this piercing, often in places of employment.
