So I wanna get my tongue pierced and my tongue webbing pierced. I was thinking that it would just be easier to do them both at once. I would probly have to do the regular tongue barbell first and then the webbing. So I'm not sure if I should just do both at the same time or should I wait and do them seperately?
Also, could I just bring in my own jewelry and have them put it in? And if so then what gauge should I get for the tongue webbing? I want a ring, not a barbell. Thanks!

Just personal experience, I had a tongue web piercing for 4 months, and had to take it out within 3 weeks after getting my tongue pierced. They rubbed together and made the tongue web piercing ache really badly. maybe other people had better experiences with both piercings together though?

For a tongue web 16g. You should be able to bring your own jewelry as long as it's not scratched, they should be able to autoclave it.

Good luck.

If you're going to have both of those piercings, read this article first:
http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Galvanic_Corrosion

So make sure that both piercings have Surgical Steel or Titanium (preferably Titanium).

A friend of mine has both done, so that should be fine.

She wears a 1.6mm 8mm CBR in hers smile
I don't know if it'd be best to get them done together or not.

Wow! I bet that's what was going on when I had my original septum jewelery (that was really bad quality) and drank soda from a can... Galvanic Corrosion! It only happened a couple of times, but when the jewelery would touch the can, I'd get this really bad taste in my mouth...

Well, I just got my tongue web done. I talked to the piercer and he said it's better to just do one and do the other later. And I'm glad I did because this one alone is swelling like crazy. It looks kinda like a bubble right now but I love it. I'm just gonna gey the top done some other time. Thanks for your help!

1) A piercer more than likely will not use jewelry you bring in because they can not give any kind of guarantee for it.

2) I think your mouth would appreciate 1 piercing at a time, but doing both isn't unheard of. Just be careful about having a cbr in the web and a barbell in your tongue. There is the potential for them getting caught together and that will hurt.

3) Ask for Implant Grade stainless steel or titanium. "Surgical steel" is a vague description and does not guarantee you'll get a quality piece of jewelry.

4) Rinse your mouth after eating or drinking ANYTHING. Sea salt soaking may feel nice too, although making it warm is not necessary. It will rise to the temp. in your mouth.

5) Congrats. smile
