The pros and cons of splitting your tongue.
OK, people. Here it is:
As some you may know, I am kind've a freak. I like tattoos, piercings, heavy metal music, and weird things. I'm the guy who said that just once once before I die, I want to taste human flesh.
I have a 4 gauge barbell in my tongue right now, and I want to go bigger, down to a 2 gauge. Then, eventually, I want to go bigger to 0 gauge, and, finally, to the biggest gauge, a 00. Trouble is, though, with a big tongue stud comes certain drawbacks:
A) The eventual speech problems, a lisp, most commonly, because of the size of the object in your mouth. As most of you know, I stutter (hence my name Impediment) because I was shot in the neck. I don't want another speech impediment on top of the one I have now.
B) Possible dental injuries because you might accidentally bite down onto the barbell, or it may just wear down your teeth.
I have had my tongue pierced since I was 18, and I just recently turned 27 on January 13th. I kinda want to remove my barbell from my mouth because of the reasons I listed, but I also don't want to throw my investment of years and money of stretching my peircing to the size it is now.
I, myself, think that a split tongue looks very cool. Not to mention sexy.

I am about 85% sure I want to do this. I just wanted some feedback from you, my peers, to see what y'all think. So, for every pro that I list for splitting my tongue, if you have a con to add, please do so. I want you to be honest, and try to be mature about it.
Let's begin:
