everyone i have known to have their tongue
pierced
their tongue swells pretty bad for a week
and afterwards, when they talk they always
clank the ring on their
teeth.. it's pretty annoying..
but maybe yours would be different

I'm pretty sure your dentist would hate
you for it right now. You will also have
serious issues singing for a few weeks.
Perhaps right now isn't the best time to
get this piercing? Why don't you wait
until your braces are gone. You can make
it a present to yourself

no, sorry i worded it wrong. i had braces.
i dont have them anymore.
Tonge peircing should not be done under
any cercumstances as it looks descuisting
and it makes a funny sound and people
carn`t pronounce words that well when
they try to talk.

There are many rumors.
1) It can chip teeth
Who knows? It is a piece of metal flapping
around in your mouth. I've heard of people
biting it when they eat, so it's entirely
possible you could chip your teeth on it.
It won't reverse the work of your braces
though.
2) It can cause facial paralysis
This is know for a fact can happen. A
friend of my got her tongue pierced, and
only took it out a few days later because
half her face was paralyzed. Thank god
feeling returned when she removed it. This
is a serious but fairly uncommon
complication. Still, it does happen.
3) It will make talking difficult for a
few days/weeks.
This too is true. You're gonna sound funny
for a few days and there's nothing you can
do about that. As far as singing goes, it
won't affect your range or skill with
hitting notes. You may have to re-learn
enunciation to work around the ring. And
if you're singing correctly with your
mouth wide open to project, your teacher
is going to see
4) Recovery is somewhat painful - and
you'll get hungry.
You can't eat anything for several days,
nor should you use straws with the liquids
you are able to drink. Straws cause
pressure in the mouth that can draw out
tissue from within the piercing and make
it heal wrong.

It actually doesn't hurt at all. Out of
every piercing I have had done, the tongue
hurt the least. I didn't feel it.
I talked normally afterwards, also, but
that was a couple of years ago. I have
since taken it out and now I think it's
just...trashy.
