Can short tongue be pierced?
Well, with any tongue piercing, you’re gonna have difficulty with talking for awhile, regardless of the size of your tongue. When you go into the shop to get pierced, the piercer will be able to tell you if they can pierce your tongue or not. It’s not really a matter of size as it is how much tongue you have on the end that is not connected to the webbing underneath (if that makes any sense). If you have too much webbing, the piercer will not be able to pierce through it. If you are able to get it pierced, however, I’d recommend drinking a slurpee right after and sticking to cold things to keep the swelling down. It’ll feel weird eating with it in for awhile, as it’ll be difficult to tell what’s food and what’s your piercing, but you’ll get the hang of it. Also, make sure you rinse after every meal with a non-alcoholic mouthwash (not Listerine unless you’ve diluted it with water) to clean it, and don’t drink any alcoholic beverages until it’s healed, as alcohol irritates the piercing.
