I got it done two weeks ago and the swelling went down but I haven't had the time to go and get a new barbel (I was told you have to get a new one after swelling because they use a big one to compensate for the swelling?). Well, around where the ball rests on the surface of my tongue there's a crater. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like that or not. Does the crater ever close up so it's just a hole through the tongue or is it supposed to be like that?
