Vertical tongue piercing
Tongue piercing is a popular and expressive form of body decoration, in which the middle part of the tongue is pierced and then an ornament, most often in the form of a dumbbell, is inserted into the resulting hole.

Vertical tongue piercing procedure
Upon arrival at the studio, you will fill out the "Consent to the procedure", which will include, among other things, contraindications before vertical tongue piercing and subsequent care. The absence of contraindications and compliance with the care procedure recommended by us is one of the important conditions for successful healing of the piercing.
This is followed by a conversation with the piercer. You will discuss the appropriate placement and jewelry for the vertical tongue piercing, which we will insert immediately and, if necessary, which you will wear afterwards.
The piercer will prepare a work area. The selected jewelry for vertical tongue piercing along with the needle will be sterilized for about 10 minutes. During this time, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions and clarify the necessary information.
After sterilization, the piercer will mark the final puncture site for the vertical tongue piercing, disinfect the skin, and within a few seconds you will have a new vertical tongue piercing.
After the piercing, the piercer will treat the vertical tongue piercing, take a photo of it if you agree, cover it with a patch, and explain to you once again how to care for a vertical tongue piercing.
Healing time of vertical tongue piercing
The process of complete healing of a tongue piercing usually takes 1 to 2 months, sometimes longer. Complete healing means that the piercing canal is completely covered with new skin.
The healing process of a vertical tongue piercing
The piercing almost always swells, so we first put in a longer piece of jewelry, which we replace with a shorter one after about 1-2 months. Otherwise, there is a risk of frequent insertion of the jewelry and subsequent traumatization.
Sometimes it needs to be replaced several times during healing, so if you feel that the jewelry is becoming too long and getting in the way, you can ask for it to be shortened.
When exchanging a piece of jewelry for a shorter one, the price of the jewelry is paid according to the current price list; the service is free if it is the initial healing process.
Caring for a vertical tongue piercing
Oral hygiene : If you have a piercing in your mouth, use an alcohol-free mouthwash and rinse your mouth for about 15 seconds after each meal. If this is not part of your daily dental hygiene routine, plain clean water (filtered, bottled or boiled) will do. Pay attention to oral hygiene, as it is important for speeding up healing.
Restrictions after vertical tongue piercing
Drink and food : For the first 3-4 hours after the procedure, drink only water, cold tea or iced still drinks without sugar or alcohol. Rinse your mouth afterwards. During the first 3-5 days, your tongue will swell, may hurt and you will not be able to eat anything except soft food, which should not be hot, bitter, sour, salty or colorful.
Oral sex and kissing : Avoid oral sex and kissing during healing, especially for the first 14 days. After that, follow your feelings, it is best not to rush them to avoid trauma.
