People, specifically teens, use body jewelry and piercings as an easy way to express themselves. What started as a religious or group affiliated trend has transformed into piercing of tongues, noses and even surface skin.
Tongue piercings first became popular in the 1980 s when the availability of high quality, surgical steel tongue rings and other types of body jewelry were readily available for the first time. "The Gauntlet" was the first professional piercing salon in the US and tongue rings were the first of many popular and extreme piercings to emerge from its owners. Jim Ward, found of the Gauntlet was known for promoting this piercing throughout his career.
When a tongue is pierced, it is done so with straight barbell style jewelry, rather than a ring. However, the term tongue ring has, over time, become the slang term used by many to describe the piercing. As the popularity of tongue piercings has grown, so has the variety of tongue rings available for individuals with such piercings. The beads at the end of the barbells used for tongue rings can be made of many different kinds of decorative materials. As a way to accommodate corporate Americans with a liking for this body jewelry, manufacturers have developed clear, flat and "no show" tongue rings. Those who wish to show off their piercing can choose from brightly colored beads, simple metal beads, glow in the dark beads the possibilities are endless.
Although tongue rings are stylish and popular, special care must be taken to ensure that they're properly done to prevent oral health problems. The traditional and proper placement of a tongue ring is in the center of the tongue, near the center of the mouth. The tongue ring should be angled to slightly lean back from the teeth to make talking and eating easier. Damage to teeth and the enamel of teeth is minimal when the piercing has proper placement. Other than a slight impact on the way a person talks for the first few days, there is only a very slight chance of any teeth, gum or tissue damage due to a tongue ring.
Piercings are good, temporary way for an individual to express themselves in a world in which places more and more value on being an individual and not a follower . With proper care and research, a tongue piercing can be a way for an individual to accomplish this.
