Can you die from getting your tongue pierced piercing a vein?

While it is possible to pierce a vein during a tongue piercing, it is highly unlikely to be fatal. The tongue is a well-vascularized organ, meaning it has a rich network of blood vessels. However, the veins in the tongue are relatively small and do not carry a large volume of blood. Therefore, even if a vein is pierced during a tongue piercing, the amount of blood loss is usually minimal and not life-threatening.

However, it is important to note that any type of piercing carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, and pain. It is important to choose a reputable piercing studio and follow all aftercare instructions to minimize the risks associated with tongue piercing.
