I like the concept of a tongue piercing, and I had mine done back in 1996 (by the legendary Jon Cobb), but IMHO possible tooth damage is something people should think about before getting it done. I lost a chunk of one of my molars after I bit down on the bar while eating... fortunately I just lost enamel, and no dental treatment was needed. I no longer wear any jewelry in this piercing.

If you're going to do it, I'd suggest downsizing the length of your bar as much as possible after the initial healing and also considering acrylic balls (which are more likely to break than your teeth) for the ends of the bar.

Let us know what you decide, and if you choose to do it, take a picture!

For the millionth time, hell yes!

It hurts for less than a week. Ice helps tremendously.


It's fun! I have a pink and orange fluffy spike thing in my tongue right now... it feels cool on the roof of my mouth


I really can't spell today

ARSE!

Tongue Piercing Can Lead to Brain Abscess
Since tongue piercing appears to be becoming increasingly popular it is important for physicians, the public and those performing the piercings to be aware of the potential complications.

The first case of brain abscess following tongue piercing has been identified in a 22-year-old female.

In this case, the patient reported tongue swelling and pus drainage around the piercing site about 2 to 3 days after having her tongue pierced. She initially tolerated the symptoms, but pulled the stud out within 1 or 2 days, after which her symptoms improved.

Four weeks later, however, the patient began experiencing headaches, fever, nausea, vomiting and dizziness and was also increasingly wobbly while walking, the report indicates. She had a history of drug use, but denied using drugs during the previous 5 months and was HIV negative.

An MRI brain imaging scan revealed an abscess in the patient's brain, and she subsequently underwent surgery to drain the abscess. Upon examination of the drained fluid, the researchers found that it was contaminated with Streptococcus viridans and other normal mouth bacteria typically found in plaque.

The patient consequently received 6 weeks of antibiotic therapy and fully recovered.

In light of both the onset of symptoms following the removal of the tongue jewelry and the types of bacteria identified in the drained fluid, the brain abscess most likely resulted from the tongue piercing.

What's more, the relatively few reports of infection following tongue piercing may be due to reporting bias, rather than a true lack of incidents, the researchers speculate. Other reports of infection include a chest abscess and a heart infection.

That brain acscess is a load of crap! Along with any piercing come the risks, but they are usually very rare.

This is where the problem lies:

She initially tolerated the symptoms, but pulled the stud out within 1 or 2 days, after which her symptoms improved.

When you have an infection in ANY piercing, you are not supposed to remove the jewelry, as this just heals the infection inside. You should go to a doctor. This girl should have done her homework before getting any piercing whatsoever.
