The authors discuss the problem of piercing with special attention to the tongue. They describe the history and historical importance jewels inserted into different parts of the body. They present their own experience with a rare complication of piercing of the tongue (partial incorporation into the tongue) not described so far in the available literature. They discuss some, even life threatening complications which occur in conjunction with these cases.
