Can you have your tongue pierced if you have got a cold?

Answer by  BirdOnAWire (171)

It's not really recommended and your artist may prefer to wait. You may be more prone to infection and heal slower than if you're healthy.

You probably can, but it's probably not a good idea. When you're sick, your immune system is already working harder than it normally does, so it may be more difficult for your body to heal and could make you more susceptible to infection.

Yes, there is nothing preventing you from doing so. All you need to do is take a needle a push it through your tounge and then it is pierced. It doesn't matter if you are sick.

Yes you can get it pierced. The only way a cold may have effect is that you may not feel like going. Other than that you're good.

Don't do it, nothing hurts more than mucus on the ring sneezing and coughing on the new ring.. -I have it right now(I have experience) if I could turn back time I would wait!
