We understand that you want to change into this alien tongue ring from the old one that you have on your tongue. But, you must know that a new piercing cannot be changed or replaced. Only when it has healed completely can it be changed. The old one should stay for at least 12 weeks or 3 months before you can change into your favorite alien barbell. This applies to a normally healed piercing. If your piercing has gone through lot of trouble, then it is safe to retain it for at least 6 months before thinking of changing it.
A tongue web piercing is little bit more sensitive than a normal tongue piercing. Hence, you must be even more careful not to be too adventurous during the healing period. It is not a good idea to pluck out your piercing jewelry item when the wound is young and healing. Moreover, if you are a beginner you must visit a piercer who is an experienced professional to do it for you for the first time. This will prevent any untoward damage to your mouth. You can always do it later by yourself.
When you have decided to do it on your own, the best way is to push the old one out with the new one. Since, the alien item is made from surgical steel; it will be quite safe because this is the most skin friendly metal according to doctors and piercers. You can also use a piercing taper to remove the old piercing which could be a ring or a bent barbell. Make one thing sure that the size of the gauge remains same otherwise the jewelry may not fit the pierced hole. Also do not leave the hole without jewelry because it closes down too soon.
