Your tongue piercing begins with a consultation where your piercer discusses jewellery options and assesses the anatomy of your tongue to ensure the piercing can be performed safely. Once the placement is confirmed, the tongue is thoroughly cleaned and the piercing location is carefully marked.

The piercing is then performed using a sterile, single-use hollow needle, creating a precise channel through the tongue tissue. A suitable barbell is immediately inserted into the new piercing, and the area is checked to ensure proper placement and comfort. The procedure is quick, typically taking only a few moments to complete. Before you leave, your piercer will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including guidance on oral hygiene, eating, and managing initial swelling, to help support a smooth healing process and the best possible outcome.
