"Body art" is a fashion that appears to be gaining popularity worldwide. There are many risks and potentially adverse results associated with tongue piercing. Pain (the procedure is performed without anesthetics), post-placement edema and the risk of prolonged bleeding, if the blood vessels are punctured during the piercing, and fracture of tooth structures, are but a few of the risks. The purpose of the present article is to describe the consequences of three cases of tongue piercing in which metallic barbell-shaped studs were inserted: the consequences include the fracture of tooth structure, caused by the device knocking against the teeth; and inflammation and edema occurred as a result of the piercing of the tongue.
“人体穿刺装饰”是一种在全球范围内似乎越来越流行的时尚。舌部穿刺存在许多风险和潜在的不良后果。疼痛（该操作在无麻醉的情况下进行）、穿刺后水肿以及如果在穿刺过程中血管被刺破会有长时间出血的风险，还有牙齿结构骨折，这些都只是其中的一部分风险。本文的目的是描述三例插入金属杠铃形饰钮的舌部穿刺案例的后果：后果包括因器械撞击牙齿导致的牙齿结构骨折；以及因舌部穿刺而出现的炎症和水肿。
