Tongue and Smiley Piercings in Batumi
Tongue piercings and smiley piercings are two different types of oral piercings. A tongue piercing typically uses a straight barbell, while a smiley piercing is performed through the frenulum of the upper lip.
Before the procedure, the specialist evaluates the anatomy, helps select the appropriate piercing placement and jewelry, and provides aftercare recommendations.
Types of oral piercings
Tongue piercing
A classic tongue piercing is typically placed along the midline, taking into account the anatomy and position of the frenulum. A straight barbell of the appropriate size is used for the initial piercing.
Swelling is possible during the first few days, so the initial jewelry is usually longer. Once the swelling subsides, the piercer may recommend replacing it with a shorter barbell. The estimated healing time is 6-8 weeks.
Smiley Piercing
A smiley is a piercing of the frenulum of the upper lip. The jewelry usually becomes visible when smiling or talking.
This type of piercing is not suitable for all anatomy, so a pre-procedure examination by a professional is necessary. It's also important to choose the correct size and placement of the jewelry to minimize unwanted contact with teeth and gums. Healing time varies from person to person.
