It is generally not recommended to get a tongue piercing with a geographic tongue, as it may increase the risk of complications such as infection and irritation.

Of course you can, the only difference from someone with a longer tongue is that the piercing would have to be a bit closer to the end of your tongue. Other then that it doesn't change anything.
Go consult a piercer. It's best to go to one with lots of experience with tongue piercings and good reviews. They can take a look at y our tongue and tell you if a tongue piercing would be suitable.

There is no tongue size requirement for a tongue piercing. If you want your tongue WEBBING pierced, you have to have a certain type of anatomy (i.e. have to have a webbing that's there all the time, even when your tongue is at rest), but just a regular tongue piercing is possible on everyone. Your piercer will tell you your best/safest options for PLACEMENT (so you might not get it precisely where you wanted it on your tongue), but, as far as I know, everyone can get it done. Unless maybe you have overly huge veins and it was just too risky, but I'm just speculating there.
It's not recommended to pierce your tongue yourself as it can lead to complications like excessive bleeding, infection, or nerve damage.

No, tongue rings are specifically designed for tongue piercings and are not suitable for an industrial piercing. An industrial piercing typically requires a long straight barbell that goes through two separate ear piercings. It is best to use jewelry that is specifically designed for an industrial piercing to ensure proper healing and comfort.
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.
It is recommended to use non-toxic, food-safe glue that is specifically designed for oral use when gluing a piercing on your tongue. Ensure that the glue is clean and sterile to prevent infection or irritation. It is best to consult with a professional piercer for guidance on attaching the piercing.
