It is generally not recommended to get your tongue pierced if you have a lisp because the piercing can potentially worsen the lisp or cause speech difficulties. It is best to consult with a speech therapist and a piercing professional before making a decision to ensure your speech is not negatively affected.
It varies from person to person, but typically a lisp after tongue piercing can last for a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take some time for your tongue to adjust to the piercing and for the swelling to go down, which can affect speech temporarily.
Getting your tongue pierced with a small, barely noticeable lisp may temporarily affect your speech as you adjust to the piercing. However, once you get used to it, it should not significantly worsen your lisp. It's always best to discuss any concerns with a professional piercer before getting the piercing.
