klyth said:You may consider buying some PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). It's RIDICULOUSLY cheap, and it makes AWESOME barbells - especially for tongues. It's flexible, so when you bite down on it by accident, it just bends, then springs back into place.
This is where I used to buy all my stuff. http://unimaxsupply.com/indexjewelry.htm They sell PTFE by the foot. Obviously, you wouldn't need an entire foot of it, but it's SO cheap. $1.80 for the foot, and you can order it in 14 or 16g. I'm assuming your tongue is 14g.
It's great stuff. You just cut it to length with a razor, then screw on normal internally threaded balls. It self threads because it's a soft plastic.
I used it for a long time - until I started stretching my tongue.

GrumpyBear said:ya, i've heard of it, i just always worried that a bendy barbell would cause a tear. that is a really great price tho, way better then what they sell it for here in the shops. maybe i'll give it a go...thanks
Well a picture can't be a bad thing, especially one of a tongue, but if you don't have a digital camera... bah! NVM.GrumpyBear said:you really want a picture of my tongue? i guess i could take a film picture then scan it after its developed...seems like a lot of work...

VtPepper said:They are so much fun the first couple of weeks they were a bity tender but not now they are great plus they are better than what I was going to pierce.
VtPepper said:It hurts more just cause you are thinking about it.
The first one hurt so bad they had to hold me down the second one I cleared my mind and it was much less painfull no worse than a quick bee sting that was it.
as far as the other almost one I think its called a prince albert I can jsut be thankfull I did not have enought money on me.
