I have bad allergic reactions. is a tongue ring safe for me?

No: I have found that people that have allergies are more likely to be allergic to metals as well. If you are allergic to the metal in the tongue ring it could cause your tongue to swell and close off your airway. Seriously, do you want to take that chance?

Don't do it: Tongue piercing comes w continued pain as well as swelling, tenderness, bleeding & bruising for around 5 days. If the swelling makes it difficult to breath then you need emergent medical evaluation to ensure that your airway does not become compromised. If the tongue is seeping drainage that is other then white-colored or that is malodorous – then please seek medical care for a possible infection.
