Honestly, I haven't heard of any cases like that but there could be something out there. But even if no one has died, it doesnt make it any less dangerous. Piercing the tongue is tricky because there are some pretty large veins in that area. There have been quite a few cases of people getting tongue piercings by someone with little experience and losing significant amounts of blood- to the point that they need transfusions. Also, piercing yourself significantly raises the risk of infection. If your piercing does get infected and you dont treat it in time, the infection could spread and end up in your bloodstream- thats called sepsis. Sepsis is incredibly dangerous and can be deadly. Bottom line- piercing yourself is not safe, especially not with a tongue piercing.

If you take your own barbell would they Perice your tongue with it?
Most studios won't use your own barbell unless it was used for a previous tongue piercing you had. See we need to know what the barbell is made of , some barbells available from "novelty stores" are generally junk and that's the last thing we want to put into your tongue. Now if the barbell is the right size for your piercing and you can confirm it's good quality, and the piercer is good with that, they will need to autoclave it before it can be used. This involves putting it in the autoclave to sterilize it before it can be considered safe for a new piercing. So your best bet is to call your local body piercing studio's and see what they have to say. So will, some won't, others might.
Can piercing your tongue affect you?
As long as you get it done by a professional and take care of it exactly as they tell you, your tongue piercing should be fine. For the first week your tongue will probably swell and you won't be able to eat solid food, but the tongue is a muscle so it heals faster then most piercings if taken care of properly. That being said, do not attempt to do this yourself, your tongue has a lot of nerves and blood vessels, pierce your own tongue in the wrong place and you could end up loosing feeling in your tongue, loose your taste or even worse bleeding to death! A good piercer spends 5-10 minutes examining your tongue to find the safest route through it. So be smart, go to a professional and good luck!

No way that's nerve damage for your own sake get it removed immediately. Get to the doctor now . I am one. _________ One thing the "doctor" didn't think of is trauma.
