Tongue ring poses health risks to its wearer. Infection may happen during and after the procedure especially in unhygenic condition.

The hole would also be the breeding field for microorganism which of course will pose more health risk.

AnswerTounge rings are not particularly "unhealthy" as long as you take care of your overall oral health. However, working in a dental field, I can give you this knowledge; people with tongue rings can cause a lot of damage to their teeth. The tongue ring hitting the enamel of the tooth is not healthy and can eventually cause dental problems.

A properly provided professional tongue piercing, looked after correctly and down sized at the right time poses no hazards or long term health risks. Now a tongue piercing that is not stepped down and not maintained correctly can pose risks to the teeth, gums and over all oral health due to bacterial increase from poor personal hygiene.

I think what you were trying to ask is piercing your tongue safe.?

Anyway, as long as you get it done by a licensed professional, I think it will be safe.

MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T GET INFECTED!!!! THAT'S A RECIPE FOR DISASTER!
