That's normal for most inside the mouth piercings. You'll want to get a tongue scraper (at most grocery stores, or you can ask your dentist for one) and carefully clean your tongue everyday after you brush.
On a side note, be glad that your tongue is so big and easy to clean! I know some people get their "punching bag" piercing in the back of their throat and they have clean that all the way back there! I have such a bad gag reflex, it kinda makes me naseous thinking about it!

Its normal, I'd recommend letting it heal and honestly not worrying about it for the moment. I had it when I had mine done and I gently scrubbed my tongue with a toothbrush and some warm water

it frequently skill your tongue is contaminated and the cells on your tongue are turning white because of the fact they are dieing. you may extremely circulate and get it checked. the longer you wait the extra serious it gets. you are able to lose your tongue in case you do no longer hurry.
