About tongue piercing
A traditional tongue piercing runs vertically through suitable tissue in the tongue, with jewellery visible above and below. The position must account for your individual anatomy, including the tissue underneath the tongue. It is different from a tongue web piercing, which sits in the thin tissue beneath it and has a separate listed price. Tell the studio if you are considering a variation, already wear oral jewellery or have an old piercing channel; the standard service price should not be assumed to cover every arrangement.
Is this placement right for you?
Consider how you will manage eating, speaking and oral hygiene while the piercing settles. Jewellery inside the mouth can contact teeth and gums, so discuss placement, ongoing fit and any dental concerns before deciding. Tell the piercer about braces, retainers or other dental appliances. Ask when the initial jewellery should be checked and whether a shorter piece will be needed. Contact the studio to confirm age, ID and consent requirements for tongue piercing before booking, especially if you are unsure which service to select.
Jewellery and what is included
The €35 price includes basic jewellery. Initial tongue jewellery needs to allow for early swelling, with the fit reviewed as it settles. Ask the studio about the first check and any later downsize, including whether additional jewellery or follow-up changes carry a separate charge.
Looking after your piercing
Use the oral-care instructions provided by the studio. Maintain careful brushing and rinse your mouth with clean water after meals. Avoid playing with the bar or tapping it against your teeth. If mouth rinse is advised, choose an alcohol-free product and ask how often to use it.
Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.

Tongue Piercing: your questions
Does tongue piercing cost the same as tongue web piercing?
No. Impulse Piercing lists tongue piercing at €35 and tongue web piercing at €40. They are different placements, so choose the correct service and ask the studio if you are unsure.
Why might tongue jewellery need downsizing?
The first piece may be longer to accommodate initial swelling. Once that has settled, a piercer can assess whether a shorter fit is needed to limit unnecessary movement and contact with teeth and gums.

Use our website booking page to select your piercing and an available appointment. Contact the studio to confirm age, ID and consent requirements for your chosen service before booking. You can also complete our consent form before your visit. Walk-ins are welcome, subject to availability.
