If you are using the correct type of piercing equipment, you should not have to numb your tongue at all. Numbing the area before piercing could affect the healing process, and leave more opportunity to become infected. It is best to get a piercing done professionally, but if you are piercing at home, be sure to use the right sterile needles and tools. There should be little to no pain, making numbing unnecessary.

The two front-most sides.
Honestly, I haven't heard of any cases like that but there could be something out there. But even if no one has died, it doesnt make it any less dangerous. Piercing the tongue is tricky because there are some pretty large veins in that area. There have been quite a few cases of people getting tongue piercings by someone with little experience and losing significant amounts of blood- to the point that they need transfusions. Also, piercing yourself significantly raises the risk of infection. If your piercing does get infected and you dont treat it in time, the infection could spread and end up in your bloodstream- thats called sepsis. Sepsis is incredibly dangerous and can be deadly. Bottom line- piercing yourself is not safe, especially not with a tongue piercing.
Oral piercing generally don't close up, they tend to just shrink. I would suggest a visit to your local professional body piercer and have him/her use a taper to probe the area and see if the piercing is still open (which it should be). This would save you a piercing fee and healing time.
Contact your local health unit for information in regards to age requirements and facilities in your area that provide Professional Body Piercing services.
I had mine done 2 days ago and I have that, too. It's on the top side towards the front of the piercing. I don't know what it is. Trying to find out myself...I think it's probably just scar tissue in the healing process because it doesn't hurt...
No! Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for 24-48 hours after the piercing has been done. Smoking will dry out the area too much and also could infect it. As soon as my tongue was pierced i was straight out the front and had a cigerette. My piecing never dried out or got infected. Its not that it will dry out your piercing. I does not do that at all. The nicotine in cigarettes slows down the healing process, causing the piercing to take longer to heal. It is the same concept with alcohol -- slows down the healing process. Some people still smoke and drink and are okay, but yet for other people their piercing may never heal if they continue to do it constantly.
