A member asked:

Should i get my tongue pierced even though i have sensitive skin to all other types of piercings?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO : If you are sensitive everywhere else to piercings this is a sign that you should defiantly not get your tongue pierced. The reactions will be worse in your tongue because there is more blood flow. This can be very bad for you. Do to do it.
