Any time your skin is pierced, there can be an infection, because bacteria can get in through the hole in the skin, until it heals. Tongues are particularly vulnerable because there is usually a lot of bacteria in the mouth, as a result of the food that passes through, and the saliva, which creates an environment in which bacteria can live. Dry skin is more resistant to infection than wet skin, for this reason. So yes, tongue piercing is risky, and I would strongly recommend against it. You do not need to take that kind of risk.
