Is my snake eyes piercing starting to get infected?

Question

Okay so i got my tongue pierced about 4 days ago and this is how it looked an hour or 2 after i got it.

It’s not really painful or anything but around the balls my tongue is a little bit clear/yellowish (not noticeable) and i think the balls are sinking in my tongue a little bit. (Ik my tongue is white but it’s hard to brush it) Is my tongue just swollen and it’s apart of the healing process or is it starting to become infected/rejected?

Answer

It seems the bar used was way too short to accommodate the swelling. That’s also why it feels hard, it just swollen. When I got my tongue pierced I had the same problem. Don’t change it now as it’s still fresh and it’ll probably hurt and you can introduce unnecessary germs/bacteria. Keep up whatever routine your piercer told you to help heal and ice it. When it’s no longer painful and healed change your bar or it will continue to hurt and swell like (mine did lol)

Answer

Snake eyes tongue piercing have such a high risk of problems and rejecting . Your piercer should’ve put a WAY longer barbell in due to swelling. Use mouthwash throughout the day and after you eat especially, alcohol free, or diluted if it has alcohol in it. Even though you just got it done does not mean just leave it in, I’ve changed fresh piercings and it’s better to do that then let your tongue swell over it . Go to your piercer ASAP to get the bar changed

Answer

Looks like the bar is way to short. I agree with above comment tho, do not take it out. Idk if u use it, but they told me to use mouthwash when I got my tongue pierced. And ice will help with the swelling!

Answer

Ive had this piercing before,had no issues with it and it healed well!..but you are going to need a longer bar otherwise it will be rejected.
Try and go back to whoever pierced it as soon as you can and have them have a look at it
you can switch it out for a shorter one in a couple months.

These rarely have a high success rate 😕
