Tongue Piercing by Stevo

The piercing

This tongue piercing was done by Stevo at Golden Tarot Ink Club in Winter Park, near Orlando. It sits centered on the tongue with a simple stud, placed straight and clean. For a first or second piercing, that placement and a calm piercer make all the difference.

Suraima's review says the part that matters most. This was only her second piercing, and Stevo talked her through every step so she always knew what was coming. Nerves are normal, and a piercer who explains the process out loud takes most of the pressure off. That is the difference between a stressful appointment and one you walk out of smiling.

Good tongue placement is about more than looks. Stevo checks the anatomy first, marks the spot, and sets the jewelry so it sits comfortably and clears the teeth. A longer bar goes in first to leave room for swelling, then it gets downsized once things settle.

What is aftercare like for a tongue piercing?

Expect some swelling for the first few days. Cold water, ice, and rinsing with a saline or alcohol free mouth rinse after meals keep it clean while it heals. Skip spicy food, alcohol, and anything harsh early on, and do not play with the jewelry.

Come back once the swelling drops so the bar can be shortened to a comfortable length, which protects your teeth and gums over time. Stevo walks every client through this before they leave. If you are ready for your next one, our piercing services cover the details and you can book straight from there.

Jewelry matters more than people expect. Stevo starts a tongue piercing with implant grade titanium and a longer bar to leave room for the swelling that shows up in the first few days. Once that settles, you come back and the bar gets shortened to a comfortable length that sits closer to the tongue and stays clear of your teeth.

Full healing takes several weeks, and the early days are the ones that matter most. Cold drinks help, rinsing after meals keeps it clean, and leaving the jewelry alone lets everything settle the way it should. Ask questions at your appointment, because a good piercer would rather explain twice than have you guess.
