 | | A tongue piercing is a piercing, placed in the center of the tongue to avoid hitting a nerve, and to avoid damaging the "webbing", the part under the tongue that connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. |
 | | Surface piercings are any body piercings that take place on the surface of the body through areas which are not particularly concave or convex, where the piercing canal transverses a surface flap of skin, rather than running completely through a piece of body tissue from one side to another. |
 | | Sometimes surface piercings are difficult to heal, because, as the body rejects the body jewellery as a foreign object, the jewellery is pushed to the surface, causing the piercing to grow out. |
