C18: named after Ãtienne de Silhouette (1709â67), French politician, perhaps referring to silhouettes as partial portraits, with a satirical allusion to Silhouette's brief career as controller general (1759)
Basic Door Knocker Tongue Ring. This tongue ring is 5/8 and is available in 14, 12, 10 or 8 Gauge 316L surgical steel.
It really just depends on the person, I took my tongue ring out in 2010 when I entered the military. Here it is 2016 almost 2017 and though I have not worn a post or anything in my tongue since 2010 the hole is still there. About once maybe twice a year I check to see if the hole is still there.
