I haven't got my tongue pierced but I doubt it will affect your playing
when the swelling goes down. My friends with pierced tongues had it done
near the back of their mouths, so if they could play it wouldn't really
affect tonguing. However, it might affect vibrato and other things that
have to do with the throat.
I assume you are considering having this done, so instead if I were
you, I would be asking, "How long will it be till my parents find out and
kill me?" ;-)
