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 takes 6 months to completely heal, however about 6 weeks of using the mouth wash (it gets old trust me) The first week is rough. Your tongue will swell and eating and talking will be hard to do, also NO kissing. If you do so your tongue will swell bigger. I suggest not to hide a tongue piercing from your parents.
