Forum Discussion - People Dying from Tongue Piercings?

Sunday September 19, 2004
Kerrie writes: "Before I got my tongue pierced, I heard various stories about how tongue amputations are on the rise because of tongue piercing infections. Funny how I couldn't find a single REAL article on it . . . only people saying so...it IS possible (although not common) to get an infected tongue piercing, but the chances of you somehow dying from it are miniscule."
