When should I downsize my tongue piercing?
My advice to everyone is to downsize their jewelry as soon as swelling goes away, usually in 2 – 4 weeks after initial piercing. Sometimes it may even have to be downsized again. The traditional tongue piercing is only done through the tongue muscles vertically between both muscles.
