You can do it alone if you know how to do it. And you obviously don't or you wouldn't be asking.

You can do it alone.. if you have good experience...and know where the veins are in your tongue.
I would say a 14 gauge piercing needle would be big enough for a tongue barbell.
But get a taller-than-standard barbell because your tongue will swell.
But if you aren't EXTREMELY sure how to do it and how to look up for the veins and nerves, you could end up losing your taste buds, so be careful.
As for the nose... use an 18 gauge piercing needle.. there's no real threats with the nose... but with the tongue... you'd be better off having a friend do it so you don't hit veins or anything. Even better than having a friend do it is getting it done professionally... but if you really want to risk never being able to taste again.. then go for it.

lingual artery
n.
An artery with origin in the carotid artery, with distribution to the undersurface of the tongue, terminating as the deep artery of the tongue, and with branches to the suprahyoid and dorsal lingual branches and the sublingual artery
That is the biggest reason why you don't pierce your own tongue. That's why there are professionals. If you aim just slightly wrong, you can pierce that artery and you will die from blood loss. It's not a joke.

You asked if you could pierce your tongue on your own, and NO YOU CAN'T. That's your MOUTH! You could get blood poisoning so bad and you won't be able to talk or eat properly. Sweetie, I've seen it happen. If you want it, get it done professionally, if you can't, you don't need it. Do NOT do it. Sorry for caring. Do not pierce ANYTHING on your own. There's a REASON you have to be licensed to pierce people.
