I recently got my tongue pierced and have been down sizing the bar. At the moment I have a 12mm/1/2 inch bar and I still have a fair amount of room left and have been trying to find smaller sized bars online. Finding smaller bars has been difficult and I particularly want to try out a plastic bar with plastic balls.

Its looking like the only type of bar that I can find to fit 10-12mm are primarily labret bars. Are these suitable to be used for a tongue piercing? And are there any suggestions for anything in particular that I should be looking for in a labret bar for a tongue?

Thank you.

Be careful putting plastic into your piercings. It’s not an implant grade material meant for longterm wear and will start to break down and could irritate your piercing.

You should be able to find appropriately sized barbells for your tongue that aren’t necessarily labret barbells. (You’ll probably find that wearing a flat disc on your tongue will be uncomfortable anyway)
Check with your local piercer to see if they have anything shorter to fit your piercing a bit better.
