A member asked:
Why is my tongue piercing in so much pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve endings: There are a lot of nerve endings in the tongue, so it will hurt. If this is a new pain in an old piercing, I would worry about infection, which could get very severe very fast. Take out the piercing and see a doctor soon.
