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.
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.
I have my Tongue pierced too. I noticed the same cut, Was it self done? I have heard your tongue is the fastest healing part of your body so if you take out the jewelry it should heal right up.
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
Uhm for guys ive heard it does because of the piercing feeling better for the guy... O.O but I think that if someone really wants their tongue pierced and theyre a guy they should get it unless you really worry about what other people say...
I've never heard that this is bad for fresh tongue, and if it is chilled Jell-O, then so much the better I'd say. Popsicles will be your new best friend too.
I heard you have to wait three weeks before you can even take the first tongue ring out. or maybe it was five weeks... but anyway dont take it out for at least 2 weeks and then see what happens. but dont leave it out too long or else it will close up.
I have heard that strait people get left pierced.
I have never heard of a tongue becoming paralysed as a result of being pierced, however, there are real medical risks. The mouth is an environment with a high germ content, and piercing the tongue does create a route for possible infection, and that infection can have serious consequences, so from a medical perspective I would advise people not to pierce their tongues. Earlobes are much safer. (And if your earlobe were to become paralysed, you wouln't even notice, would you?)
Well I thought that he was almost killed because I heard this rumor that he was walking by a window in the White House and a man shot but missed.

I have heard that in some social circles, a pierced right ear on a man indicates that he is gay, while a left earring indicates that he is a sailor (or just fashionable). Both ears pierced on a man doesn't tend to imply anything. Straight men may also opt for nipple piercings, tongue piercings, nose piercings, etc, without having people think they're gay. In other words, if you're male and really concerned that people will think of you as gay, avoid the right ear.
Sprinkle a little sugar on it! It will soothe your tongue instantly!
