I have a really big desire to have an open hole in my tongue and I’ve been looking at 8g eyelets(I am currently at a 10g barbell). I just have a few questions about this.
First of all, is it possible to use an 8g eyelet in a tongue piercing? All I’ve ever seen in tongues are very large plugs or barbells.
Also, I’ve looked at eyelets for ears and they look much too short. My tongue isn’t particularly thick but normal tongue barbells are much longer than any eyelets that I’ve seen. Will short ones still work or should I look for longer ones? Do they make longer ones or is it something that might have to be custom made?
Also, are double flared eyelets a possibility or should I stick with a single flare/oring? And as far as material, I’ve seen wood, metal, glass, plastic, etc. I figured glass would be out of the question, in case I bit down on it but should I stick with only the typical metal piercings?
I think that that is all I can think of for now. Thanks
Unless you like drooling excessively and somewhat uncontrollably this is a bad idea.

fireship on November 20th, 2008 at 2:12 amI had the same idea when I was stretching my tongue! I wound up giving up on it because I couldn’t find a long enough tunnel for my budget.

If that’s not to your style, you could almost certainly get one custom-made. If you think you could manage to be really, really careful when you chew, glass jewelry might (might!) work for you, it’s usually pretty solidly constructed and semi-hard to break.
Eyelets for tongue piercing… lol. I’m sorry o.o
carebearjizz on November 20th, 2008 at 3:16 amOk, this cool just be because I am slow, but why would this cause drooling, I not seeing the cause?
Cheshire on November 20th, 2008 at 4:25 amKaos makes silicone eyelets up to 9.5mm long. http://www.steelnavel.com/product.asp?ID=1464&MID=1&MID2=1&A1=8&A2=9
Xenobiologista on November 20th, 2008 at 7:06 pmCool = could, sorry about that.
Cheshire on November 21st, 2008 at 2:07 am9.5mm is way too short for a tongue piercing. It is going to cause drooling and problems with speech because the hole will prevent the tongue doing its job as you won’t be able to create suction - needed to do simple actions like swallowing and forming particular words.
Tiff Badhairdo on November 22nd, 2008 at 9:13 amI’ve had a custom made eyelet for a 2 g tongue and I thought it would be a great idea! WRONG. It did for some reason make me drool, and couldn’t pronounce certain words and had trouble pronoucning all words. It would make a half-ass whistleing sound with I spoke. I ended up taking it out after three hours. Sort of cool idea, but very very impractical. Only good for taking a picture or two.
katy prost on December 1st, 2008 at 6:32 pmI once used a drinking straw to simulate the effect. Same result as katy(#8) reports. I was unable to speak properly with a hole in my tongue.
