The uvula is the little “punching bag” you see at the start of the throat. The piercing is usually done with a captive bead or fixed bead ring in 14ga (although 16ga and 12ga have been used successfully). Circular barbells and straight barbells can also be used. The piercing is almost always done across the uvula, but front-to-back piercings are not unheard of.
