A stupid name trendies call a tounge piercing. The jewelery used in a tounge piercing isn't a "ring" or a "stud" at all, it is called a barbell. So whenever you hear someone use this phrase, kindly punch them in the face, because anybody seriously involved in piercing is sick and tired of hearing this. See also belly ring.

A straight, curved or circular piece of metal used as jewlery for piercings. Has a ball on each end that screws into the shaft. Can be made of stainless steel, titanium or niobium. Sometimes acrylic plastics are used. The different shapes often get stupid nicknames, such as belly "ring" (a curved barbell); horseshoe (circular barbell) or tounge "ring" or "stud" (a straight barbell). See also cbr.

A stupid name trendies call a navel piercing. The actual jewelery put in navel piercings is a curved barbell, although sometimes cbrs are used. This name annoys the hell out of anyone who is seriously involved in piercing.
