Why Seattle Clients Choose Us for Tongue Piercing

For starters, tongue piercings are a favorite for good reason. They’re bold, personal, and customizable with jewelry. Our clients love how quickly the healing process moves once you settle into a solid aftercare routine.

Now, what sets our studio apart is the experience leading up to the piercing itself. We take time to talk through your anatomy, answer your questions, and make sure you’re fully informed before we start. Our goal is for you to leave feeling excited and confident.

We’re happy to welcome both adults and teens into our studio (age requirements can vary by location). If you’re getting pierced as a minor, reach out to your local studio ahead of time to learn who’s available to perform the piercing and what’s required from a parent or guardian.

A traditional tongue piercing is placed in the center of the tongue. Please note that we do not offer horizontal tongue piercings at this time. Because this placement is anatomy-specific, it isn’t the right fit for everyone, and our piercers will let you know if that’s the case for you.

We always recommend coming in with a backup piercing in mind, just in case your anatomy calls for a different approach.

The Deep Roots Seattle Difference:

  • Piercers who are licensed and experienced
  • Sterile, single-use needles only. We never use piercing guns
  • Jewelry made from implant-grade materials
  • Private rooms designed for your comfort and privacy
  • Clear aftercare guidance
  • A space where everyone’s welcome, no judgment ever

“I really enjoy Deep Roots, this studio is super welcoming, and I love just looking at the displays of jewelry they have. They are always there for a question or concern, and I feel super comfortable being here! Everyone in the studio is kind and genuine, and I always feel welcome here. The time spent by the piercers to make sure your piercings will be in the perfect spot and will match other existing piercings made me feel well taken care of - they won't pierce you just to pierce you, and they want to make sure you can safely get the piercing in the first place.”

Great jewelry starts with great materials. We stock a wide range of implant-grade options, including titanium, gold, and other body-safe metals designed to support smooth healing and long-term comfort. Sizing matters too, especially for a tongue piercing, so our piercers will help you find the right length and gauge for you as it heals and changes over time.

We offer simple barbells and statement pieces in our shop to fit every style. Check out our shop and find the piece that feels like you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tongue Piercings

Pricing usually includes both the piercing and starter jewelry, so costs can vary depending on the jewelry you choose. We offer a variety of jewelry made from different materials and at different price points to fit your style and budget. Contact us for a quote.

It’s a general piercing guideline that some artists use to space out multiple piercings for better healing and a more balanced look. This rule applies more to multi-piercing placements, such as ears, than to a single tongue piercing.

Certain factors like pregnancy, being under the influence, active oral infections, or anatomy that isn’t suited for a center placement may mean a tongue piercing isn’t the right fit at that time.

You may notice some temporary swelling and adjust how you talk or eat for the first few days, but this typically resolves quickly as healing progresses. We’ll make sure to give you some tips and tricks to navigate the healing process so your speech and eating can return to normal.
