piercer must hold the tongue steady before piercing it.\u00a0 The tongue is then punctured with a hollowed, pointed metal needle.\u00a0 Lastly, the piercer attaches the tongue bar to the needle&#8217;s bottom end and drags it upwards through the tongue.\u00a0 The tongue bar is then secured with two metal screw-on balls.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, severe pain and swelling last for several days after the piercing.\u00a0 The new holes in the tongue are also particularly susceptible to infection, since the oral cavity is home to a large number of bacteria colonies.\u00a0 As the body adjusts to a completely unnatural entity in the mouth, saliva production may increase in the medium

associated with tongue piercings over the long term.\u00a0 As the screw-on balls scrape against the tooth enamel, teeth become susceptible to decay, and gums become susceptible to periodontitis.\u00a0 The tongue bar continues to rub against soft tissue, which can cause infection.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When tongue bars are too long, they can tangle around the tongue or teeth.\u00a0 Similar to how an earring can be ripped out of the ear, a tongue bar can also be ripped out of the tongue.\u00a0 It is extremely painful, as well as difficult to
