Body jewelry for the tongue usually comes only in a barbell jewelry piece. While the body jewelry barbell may be the only piece you can find for the tongue, it is not short on selection. Jewelry size is very important because if the barbell is too thin, it tends to move around a lot.
The barbell for the tongue comes in a variety of metals and offers unique features such as UV. The UV feature allows for the barbell to glow in the dark in order to show off the tongue piercing. Tongue jewelry can also include beads that are made from plastic, but these beads tend to not last long in the mouth. If the tip of the tongue is pierced then a captive bead ring is also used.
