My friend told me that you can't pierce your tongue if the veins are too close together, then looked at my tongue and said mine were, so I'd be paralyzed if I did. Is this true? That sucks.
Go to a pro. they will tell you by simply looking at your tounge, she is right of course you can not pierce it if you can not go around the viens but really anyone can pierce it just tilt it slightly. It will staighten out a bit on it's own.
