i had my tongue ring in for 6 days and it was a metal barbell and metal balls it started to sink and when i push it out it kind of hurts it like a suction when i do that .. i think i need a bigger barbell but im not sure . I got it done at this tattoo party i think its a 5 8 .. so anyway i switched the barbell for this other one i used when i first got my tongue pierced a long time ago and then i realized it was the same size so i switched back the barbell and instead of using the metal balls cuz they were heavier i used the clear acrylic balls it doesn't sink as much but it not staying on top and i have this hill thing on my tongue then a huge crater will it go away!..what should i do !!!! i might just take it at all 2 together!!
The problem is that the barbell was not long enough to accommodate for the swelling. Peak swelling is on day 3 and it should have started to dissipate by now. All we can assume is that the aftercare is not correct or you are not eating properly.
The first sign of malnutrition is a swollen tongue so you can see the predicament you are in. You need to follow our aftercare which is on the forum.
The crater will go away, you just have to take care of the piercing properly. Be patient.
