Does getting a tongue piercing effect the way you sing?

Question

I really want to get a tongue ring however i love to sing and dont want it to affect how i pronounce words. I just dont want it to change my vocal pattern. Do i have to worry about that?Can that have a weird effect??help??

Answer 1

You may have problems saying certain words when its healed for example sometimes i sound like i have a lisp when i talk when i have my pill shaped stud in, it all depends on you and how big your barbell is, if you get it done you will know after 3weeks or so  

Answer 2

No, didn't change for me (after the healing).

And if it does effect you, you can always remove it.

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

at first.. you will talk all funny.. but you will get use to it easily and you will be able to sing just fine..
