I had my tongue pierced for a little over two years, dental bills can get extreme. The metal on the tongue ring, even if you get a plastic balled ring, the metal bar wears the enamel off your teeth. And biting the ring can instantly destroy teeth.
Bite it too hard the break can go all the way to the root and the tooth has to be surgically extracted. The tongue ring falling out while you sleep can be another problem. Risks are choking, or after swallowing it can get caught in the lower intestine, leading to medical complications.
Tongue rings = not good.

It is highly recommended in the dental field to advise patients to refrain from piercing their tongue. Your mouth has millions of different species of bacteria in it, and having a hole in the tongue makes a person more susceptible to getting infections in the mouth. Also, tongue rings are great causes of broken teeth, fractured teeth, etc. I've recently seen a girl who cracked her front teeth in half while playing with her tongue ring. I've also seen broken molars requiring crowns due to the extent of the damage from the tongue ring. Don't do it...

There are over 4 billion different strains of bacteria in your mouth that's pretty nasty to me...Also you can break your teeth and wear the enamal off of them and cause bone loss the list can go on forever. Take it out not worth it.
Piercing-$30
Broken tooth that needs a root canal and crown-over$2000
NOT WORTH IT

They are horrible for your teeth not to mention all the germs that can get built up around it. Yuck. I thought of getting my tongue pierced at one time, but that was when it was still really popular. Thank god I didn't do it.

My opinion is it's a useless hole in your head.
The chances of infection are higher and I personally like having my whole tongue to talk with and eat with.
And I really hate seeing someone constantly play with a barbell in their mouth. It's quite rude.
