Finding the right barbell

The decision what tattoos to get is easy: if you know a decent body artist pretty much anything can be done. Piercings however, are limited in appearance by the available barbells. So, now that Charles and I have decided to get pierced, it's time to shop and decide what I should jam through my tongue.
I very much like the Blue Titanium barbell. It's slick and beats the boring regular color, without being a glowing piece of attention that looks cheesy. Not that this Glowstick barbell doesn't look like a party hit. But I'll stick to round and smooth for making out. The Union Jack barbell is a strong contender as well. There's something about British punk culture that makes it stand apart - then again I can probably get one of those for a few quid at Camden Market. The "male slut" version of the XXX rated barbell might be fun as well.
But I suppose it'll be the blue titanium one or the UK flag. Comments are welcome. Part of me still considers gold, which would be elegant and sweet, but perhaps a bit too posh?
Update: forgot to mention the lovely Fire Ball.
