Do people with tongue piercings acquire a speech impediment because of the piercing?

I don't know that I'd call it an "impediment", but most people will have a temporary problem with slurring speech and something that sounds a lot like a lisp. I do know a few people that have this piercing that that problem never went away. They always sound like their tongue is swollen.

Usually in the beginning because the tongue swells, but it goes away for most. Some people with a small tongue are more likely to lisp with a tongue piercing.

Just my opinion: I told my 14 year old daughter she could not get these two piercings when she was 16 0r 18..that's the tongue and the belly button. I would totally approve of the nose or lip or even the eyebrow. I know what tongue piercings are for...and no man will stick his penis in my daughters mouth because he thought she had a nice belly button piercing! And tongue piercings cause a lisp and I can't stand them!!

sometimes. most people adapt to it in their mouth & learn to talk with it.
