What are the side effects associated with tongue piercing?

[monster]

Without a doubt, you'll experience a change in sensation, or at the very least difficulty moving your tongue, which can cause a speech impediment. You could do nerve damage, chip your teeth, have problems with uncontrolled bleeding and, from what I've seen, tongue piercings are more prone to infection. When it comes to tongue piercing, I'm most concerned about the possibility of it hitting the lingual artery, a significant artery that runs through the tongue. If this artery is nicked during the piercing, it could swell up and block the airway and, ultimately, kill someone. Yet, in spite of all these concerns, I've seen very few serious complications. Most of the common problems associated with tongue piercing can be easily treated and cured.
