Kimbo,
Having your tongue pierced will in no way <b>help</b> your clarinet playing, and it is very possible to <b>hurt"</b> your playing. I won't go into horror stories about tongue (or any other part of the body) piercing - the medical problems are uncommon (infection, loss of sensation, etc.) but do occur. I'm sure you've already looking into possible physical side effects.

I believe (but I don't have facts to back me up) that after the wound is healed and there were no medical problems that it wouldn't be noticable as long as you took the stud out before playing. Leaving it in would be a "bad" idea for at least 2 reasons: added weight during tongueing and disruption of the airstream.
