The tongue web, or lingual frenulum piercing, is a type we at Master Pierce will not perform. We refuse this piercing for a variety of important health and safety reasons.
The lingual frenulum sits under your tongue and is extremely thin. This tissue can barely support the weight of jewelry. When your tongue rests on it, pressure and discomfort occur. The piercing often warps, causing migration and tearing of the healing fistula. This damage eventually creates an abnormal hole.
Over time, the jewelry follows a migratory path and exits the lingual frenulum. This leaves behind scar tissue and permanent damage.
Because of these serious risks, Master Pierce has taken a clear stance. As a team, we will not pierce or install jewelry in this area.
