Lizzy asked:


I’m 21 years old and I have plans of getting my tongue pierced.
I have been reading about hepatitis (which according to my research, it is a risk of tongue piercing) but I cant seem to find how do these connect.
Any help? of websites containing this information or personal knowledge?

Thanks in advance!

      Well you’d hope that any piercer would know how to sterilise stuff.
