If you’re looking for a tongue piercing that will help you make a statement, then look no further than the web piercing. Situated under the tongue along the lower gum plate, this piercing goes through
the thin tissue at the base of the mouth, often referred to as the “web” of the mouth.
This type of piercing is ideal for those interested in unique piercings who are also looking for something they can keep discreet, or hidden in a work environment that may not be suited to creative
piercings. As the web piercing is located within the mouth under the tongue, it is easy to hide, and depends on jewelry types to make a bigger, bolder statement.
Another benefit of the web piercing is the option to customize with any type of jewelry, regardless of shape or design. Typically, the most popular types of web piercings involve rings and curved
barbells, along with horseshoe barbells and curved rings. As a general rule, most curved piercings will suit this area well due to its location within the mouth.

Piercing Location – To achieve a web piercing, the thin tissue connecting the floor of the mouth to the tongue, known as the web of the tongue is carefully perforated. This
piercing sits within the mouth below the tongue, and is easily hidden.
Jewelry Options – Your piercer will guide you through the exciting process of selecting your favourite piece of jewelry. Web piercing jewelry style options include: rings and curved
barbells.
Black Line Studio does not advise removal of jewelry for at least 4 to 6 weeks post your piercing service. Whether before or after the piercing is completely healed, when it comes to changing the
jewelry, we recommend that you consult with your piercer.
Aftercare – When following Black Line Studio’s after care protocol, the healing time for a web piercing is typically
2 to 3 months. The web piercing tends to have a fairly simple healing process, without too many complications or issues along the way. However, at the end of the day, the healing time will depend on
your body’s natural reaction to your new piercing.
It is essential to keep your mouth and tongue clean throughout the entirety of the healing process, using alcohol-free mouthwash and avoiding harsher chemicals in your toothpaste. Saltwater rinses can
also be a great way to keep your mouth clean and free of bacteria.
While it has an easy healing process, the web piercing is sometimes prone to rejection, depending on the natural response of your body. If your piercing becomes rejected, you will notice your jewelry
begin to become forced out of the piercing site. Rejection is a possibility even after the healing process is complete, and this piercing has a chance of rejection even after a few years. In order to
minimize chances of rejection, look into jewelry made of lightweight and biocompatible materials.
Over the course of your healing period, make sure to avoid foods with high levels of spice, as this can irritate the piercing site. In addition, brush your teeth after every meal to keep your piercing
site sterile and free of possible infection.
Lastly, it’s imperative to avoid activities such as smoking or drinking alcohol while your piercing is healing, as this can have a significant negative impact on the health of your piercing, even
affecting the long-term outlook of your web piercing.
