If you get your tongue pierced, will you wake up with a mouthful of blood?

Question: If you get your tongue pierced, will you wake up with a mouthful of blood?
Answer: NO piercing should cause an excessive amount of bleeding. If it does, something was done improperly and you should see a doctor if you can't get the bleeding to cease. Then once the bleeding stops, you need to see a professional piercer (preferably not the one you were pierced by) and have the piercing examined to see if it was, in fact, done dangerously incorrect. It may be necessary to remove the piercing, allow it to heal and then repierce it properly at a later date.
