Tongue piercing

Tongue piercing jewellery built around the straight bar

A tongue piercing is usually worn with a straight barbell: a straight shaft with a ball at each end. Most of the jewellery remains discreet, while the upper ball becomes visible when you speak or smile. BY CARA's selection is intended for established, fully healed tongue piercings and gives you a focused choice of simple bars and changeable details.

The pieces are waterproof and nickel-free. Exact materials, ball design, bar thickness and usable length are shown on each product page, so the specification can be checked before you order.

Read thickness and bar length separately

The collection includes tongue bars at 1.6 mm thickness and lengths such as 14 and 16 mm. Thickness describes the shaft that passes through the piercing channel. Length is measured along the wearable part of the bar between the two ends. A 14 mm bar is therefore not the same measurement as a 14g gauge, so always convert gauge figures carefully before comparing sizes.

Your own anatomy and established placement decide which length is suitable. Start with the jewellery that already fits: check its thickness, measure only the wearable shaft and compare its closure. If you cannot verify those details, a professional piercer can measure the placement.

Choose the visible detail, then verify the fit

A polished metal ball keeps the look precise and minimal. A coloured or shaped end changes the expression without changing the basic straight-bar silhouette. If an end is removable, its thread must match the shaft; two parts are not automatically compatible just because their measurements look similar.

A tongue piercing is in constant contact with the mouth. Do not replace jewellery while the area is still healing, and do not treat a category description as personal aftercare advice. Swelling, irritation, damage to teeth or gums, or uncertainty about the fit should be discussed with a qualified piercer or healthcare professional.

Tongue piercing jewellery FAQ

What jewellery is used in a tongue piercing?

A conventional healed tongue piercing normally wears a straight barbell with an end at each side. Match the new piece to the existing placement.

Should I choose a 14 or 16 mm tongue bar?

Those figures describe bar length. Compare with a well-fitting current bar or let a professional piercer assess the usable space.

What does 1.6 mm mean?

It is the thickness of the shaft, not its length. Both measurements must match your healed piercing.

Can I change only the ball?

Only when the end and shaft use the same thread system and size. Check the individual product specification rather than assuming compatibility.

When can I change tongue piercing jewellery?

Wait until a professional confirms that the piercing is fully healed. Healing is individual, and persistent symptoms require professional assessment.
