DO NOT PERFORM ANY PIERCING BY YOURSELF
It is UNSTERILIZED AND RISKY.
Alcohol does NOT Sterilize ANYTHING. Autoclaves are what is used to properly sterilize metal objects/equipment in tattoo and piercing parlours. It removes ALL bacteria, microorganisms, spores and everything that can give you HIV, AIDS, & HEP. A,B&C.
There ARE vein's running through the webbing which connect to your tongue.
You MUST use only HOLLOW needles to perform ANY type of piercing, which is what Professionals possess. It pushes skin neatly out of the way, While sewing and safety pin needles are dull, and cause blunt force when going through.
It will not heal correctly. It will NOT be the proper gauge it should be.
DO NOT PERFORM THIS. I don't CARE if there are stupid teens out there that have, it is NOT right.
A piercer can place the piercing so it does not migrate, reject, hit your salivary glands, rub against your teeth and cause gum erosion, and so many other things.
GO TO A PRO.
