I've heard one story where the piercer went around the vein in the middle of the girls tongue somehow but it's supposed to be dangerous and I'm not sure that they're supposed to do it
It depends on the person. Usually you don't get your tongue pierced if your vein is in the way because it causes excessive bleeding.
lingual vein
That shouldn't be a problem, so long as the vein is avoided. It might feel a little strange, though.
Generally no, there could be some complications with bleeding, but they should be controllable. You can die if the lingual artery is pierced but that's highly unlikely to happen... Infection is also another risk, but again - manageable if it happens.
Tongues that can be pointed out of the mouth by at least 1" ~ 1 1/2" past the bottom teeth. If you can't get your tongue out that far chances are good you cant get it pierced. Over developed frenial webs under the tongue are also not acceptable for piercing.
I am a professional piercer and as long as the piercer is comfortable with piercing a tongue that short, then it IS ok. I have pierced many tongues that could not extend past the teeth or lip. They have healed up fine as well, and no signs of rejection occurred, though the likelihood of rejection raises significantly the closer to the tip of the tongue you are.
The tongue piercing done by a professional body piercer reduces the odds of striking a vein greatly, it's what we do and we know what to look for. Be sure to get this piercing done by an experienced professional body piercer and you will have no worries. Research, ask questions and check references.
No, you can not see the third vein in your tongue. But, there are 2 main purplish, sublinqual veins you can see underneath your tongue. But consider all the taste buds you have as well.
tong piercing has been around for ages. The only thing to worry about until it is completele healed is to watch out for infections.
Well a couple of things. 1) the tongue swelling is excessive. 2) the piercing placement is wrong and a vein has been hit. 3) you are playing with the tongue piercing too much and irritating it. Needing more information about the situation, the above should be starting points for you to consider.
