A member asked:
What are the chances of dying from a blood clot, blood poison or brain abscess after getting your tounge pierced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
VERY GOOD: All can cause death but nowone i've heard of has had this result. Either way a tongue piercing is dangerous because of the blood vessels in the tongue and possible infection.
