Tongue piercing with Implant Grade Titanium Barbell by NeoMetal by Harley at Platinum Tattoos & Piercings, San Antonio TX

What to Expect

Your piercer checks your tongue anatomy first — veins, frenulum placement, and tongue thickness all affect where the piercing should go. Not every placement works for every tongue. We tell you the truth upfront.

The piercing takes about 10 seconds. Initial jewelry is a longer straight barbell to accommodate swelling (tongues swell significantly the first 3–5 days). After 6–8 weeks, you come in for a downsize to a shorter bar.

Healing time: 4–6 weeks for surface healing, 3–4 months for full heal. Rinse with alcohol-free mouthwash after eating. Stay away from spicy food and alcohol for the first few days.

Common Questions

Does a tongue piercing hurt?+
Less than most people expect — the tongue is muscular and heals quickly. Most people rate it a 3–5 out of 10. The first 3–5 days of swelling and speech adjustment are more uncomfortable than the piercing itself.
How long until I can eat normally again?+
Soft foods and liquids for the first 3–5 days while the swelling is worst. By days 7–10 most people are back to normal eating. Avoid spicy, crunchy, or extremely hot foods for the first two weeks.
Will it affect my speech?+
Temporarily yes — the first week the longer starter barbell will affect speech slightly. It resolves quickly as you adjust. After the downsize at 6–8 weeks, most people report no ongoing speech issues.
How much does a tongue piercing cost in San Antonio?+
Tongue piercings at Platinum Tattoos & Piercings start at $35–$60 plus jewelry. Implant-grade titanium starter barbell is included.
