∙ 14y agoWhile short term problems may occur, (like infection or keloids) long term risks are very few. I have heard of people who have had nerve damage from tongue (or the webbing under the tongue) piercings that were done wrong. but as long as you go to a tattoo parlor that is clean, and has been licensed (they usually display tattoo or piercing licenses in the shop) everything should be fine. Also make sure that any equipment like needles that are used during your piercing are opened in front of you, to show that they are clean.

Even though the needle only goes in a little way, anytime you break the skin, you have a risk of bacterial or viral infection. I think [getting a tattoo] is generally a risky thing to do." He continues: "Once pigment is in, even if there's no infection, there's always the chance of contact Allergies, dermatitis and allergic reactions that can cause skin to get red, swollen, crusty and itchy."
