Answer 1

it usally 1.6 mm wide by 22mm long i'm a body piercer and thats the size i use to pierce with if u have had it done for that long though you could downsize to a 1.6 by 16 hope this helps  

Answer 2

They usually pierce your tongue with a 14g.  That's what they did with mine and everyone I know.  The smaller the number, the bigger the jewelery.  For example a 16gage is smaller than a 14g, but an 8g is much larger than a 14g.  Not sure if you knew that so just wanted to throw it out there.  You could go to a piercing parlor and have them measure, but if you were just planning on going to the mall, get a 14g.  It'll fit most likely.  Besides, even if you did get it pierced with a 16g, which I doubt, the hole would have stretched a little over 3 years.  

Answer 3

I couldnt wait to change mine, so i did a week after i got it done lol,l i change mine constantly,  i have a 16mm with a 6mm ball in  the one pericers use is usally 20mm to allow for the swelling, i could have smaller but i like the extra bit so i can play with it hehe
