How can you end up brusting a vein when getting your tongue periced?

down the center of you're tongue, there is a major artery that splits into hundreds of capillaries. The needle going through a capillary is not going to hurt anything, but if the piercing goes too far back on your tongue you can split the artery open, causing blood to spill out rather than feed the cells in the end of your tongue. Let a professional do it.

What is the vein under human tongue?
lingual vein
Can you see the third vein in your tongue?
No, you can not see the third vein in your tongue. But, there are 2 main purplish, sublinqual veins you can see underneath your tongue. But consider all the taste buds you have as well.
Will your tongue heal even it hits the vein?
It depends on the person. Usually you don't get your tongue pierced if your vein is in the way because it causes excessive bleeding.

Is there a way you can get your tongue pierced if you have the large vein under your tongue?
I've heard one story where the piercer went around the vein in the middle of the girls tongue somehow but it's supposed to be dangerous and I'm not sure that they're supposed to do it
Can you bleed to death from a tongue piercing?
Actually yes you can. Some people have a third vein running down the middle of their tongue and when one gets a tongue piercing it is done in the middle of the tongue. So when the needle pierces it it will bleed more than tongues w/o that third vein would. But you can still get a tongue piercing if you have that 3rd vein. All professional piercers know how to control bleeding. It's in their training
How do you pirece your own tongue?
Don't! Do it professionally. If you do it yourself, you may hit a vein and lose all sensation in your tongue.
What happens if there is a purple line on your tongue?
Is it on the bottom side of your tongue? That's one of the veins that delivers blood to your tongue. The blue coloring of your vein appears purple through the pink coloring of your tongue.
How can you tell if you can get your tongue periced?
I am a professional piercer and as long as the piercer is comfortable with piercing a tongue that short, then it IS ok. I have pierced many tongues that could not extend past the teeth or lip. They have healed up fine as well, and no signs of rejection occurred, though the likelihood of rejection raises significantly the closer to the tip of the tongue you are.
Can you die from getting your tongue pierced piercing a vein?
Generally no, there could be some complications with bleeding, but they should be controllable. You can die if the lingual artery is pierced but that's highly unlikely to happen... Infection is also another risk, but again - manageable if it happens.
