When to change down tongue bar?

Question

ive had my tongue pierced for a week now and i was woundering wen do i go back to my piercer to change the bar to a smaller one? alot of ppl have been saying that you leave the one they pierced you with for 6 weeks but i got an oral pamphlet from my piercer and it says "its recommened that changing down bar size is done between 10 to 14 days".

so wen do i get it changed?

Answer 1

my sister had her tongue pierced and she waited about 2 weeks as you have to let the swelling do down it was the same thing for my labret piercing. as the bar you have now will be abit longer so when you go back to change it the bar will be smaller. good luck i hope i helped you a bit
