I have wanted my tongue pierced for as long as i can remember.

I went to a studio 4 years ago to get it done, only to be told he wouldnt pierce my tongue in the center because of my vein positioning.

So i asked about piercing it off center and he said no as the bar will eventually rub away at my vein causing it to burst. Is this true?

Still 4 years on i am devastated that i cannot get it pierced…although everybody is telling me that i could still get it done off center as their tongue is fine! Almost everybody i know has theirs pierced off center?

Ugh…can you give me a little hope for getting this piercing? Or is it time to get over it

You could certainly consult with a few different GOOD artists about it before giving up hope, but if your anatomy isn’t suited for the piercing, there’s not much you can do about it! That being said, I’ve done a few tongue piercings for “no-hopers” who had been knocked back by other piercers, and I don’t EVER do them off-centre. I am pretty good at marking up appropriately and hitting my marks and not any major blood vessels, though. Call it a gift!
