I've never heard that. 3 of my best friends have their tongues pierced and don't seem to show any signs of cancer and i don't think a tongue piercing would be so common if it was known to have cancer.

Tongue: Cancer of the tongue can occur on the front (oral tongue) or the base (base of tongue). Tongue cancer is one of the most common types of oral cancer.

Why is the area around your tongue ring hard The meat around my tongue ring is kind of thick and hard I have had it pierced for almost 5 weeks I believe so what's goin on?

I have had my tongue ring for almost 10 years, and I have a small hard spot close to the tongue ring. I think it is just the tongues version of scar tissue. It hardens up to protect itself from the tongue ring being there. And I even have a round indention on the top of my tongue from the ball pushing down for so long. Hope this helps you!


If iam tongue tied can you get your tongue pierced like a inch away from the tip?

Lets understand the issue of being tongue tied, tongue tied means having and over developed frenial web connecting the bottom of the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. If this web is too long and reached the tip of the tongue then tongue piercing can't be done safely. Piercing the tongue to one side of the web or the other will not resolve the issue and can only cause further oral health issues down the road.The only way to get a tongue that is "tongue tied" pierced is to see an oral surgeon and have a frenectomy done. This is where the frenial web is cut back so the tongue appears to be the same as a normally developed tongue. This procedure is expensive and is generally not done unless the web is causing other issues for the individual like impairing speech.Tongues are generally pierced three quarters of an inch back from the tip of the tongue. The barbell is sized by the piercer to allow for swelling and freedom of movement and will need to be shortened after two weeks post piercing to prevent dental damage and gum regression. Piercing the tongue any further ahead will cause issues with dental damage and gum regression.Any one who has or believes they have a tied tongue should consult with there doctor and dentist before considering getting a tongue piercing. Not every piercer knows how to handle these situations so you need to know you are dealing with a truly experienced body piercer and not some novice who hasn't got the experience of training to handle this form of piercing properly.Aftercare for the tongue piercing is the same regardless of the tongue in question, these instructions will be given to you by your professional body piercer verbally as well as in writing.

Does tongue rings give you cancer?

In this day and age everything gives you cancer, now that being said, there exists no medical proof that tongue piercings causes cancer. However when you create scar tissue via injury or surgery there exists a possibility of the later formation of scar carcinoma not restricted to the tongue only but anywhere on or in the human body. So for the most part the answer is no. But someone somewhere will always want to argue a point based on the lack of information. Based on my experience I have not see or heard of any know cases.
