You are on Warfarin due to a heart condition requiring your blood to be thinned, considering that for a moment would indicate that a tongue piercing could pose a serious medical threat. Tongues swell due to the piercing and any type of trauma involving swelling could put you at a significant risk for complications. I would recommend that is you are considering a tongue piercing you should first speak to your Doctor. But do not get you tongue pierced until you have spoken to your Doctor.

It is generally advised to avoid getting tongue piercings while taking warfarin or other blood thinners, as they can increase the risk of bleeding complications. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider before proceeding with any piercing to discuss the risks associated with your medication.
