Answer 1

With all the trouble my kids have had since having their tongues pierced I'd advise against it as there already sems to be issues.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, and I had my piercer do it a little the right (if that's what you mean by slanted.  I'm giving you a heads up, until you get your piercing ring out (the one that allows for swelling) the slant will be noticeable, but I can't even notice mine now unless I stare at it for like twenty minutes.  DO NOT get it done where you want if there's a vein there.  If you hit that main vein in your tongue it will swell up immediately and block your airway.  Listen to your piercer, they know what they're up to.  I don't want to be crude either, but don't do that activity that's usually associated with tongue piercing for at least the first month.  If you do it before your tongue is healed, your hole can get hard.....ewwww.

Answer 3

Just DON'T do it!!! Why risk a problem!!!
