Splitting up your tongue is an oral body modification that involves splitting it in half. In most cases, it is done around the tip of the tongue, or occasionally toward the middle of the tongue to give the tongue a “forked” appearance. The reasons for wanting to split your tongue are different for everyone. There are many reasons why someone might want a certain look–for aesthetic reasons, to perform oral sex acts, to be able to realize their self-identity, and so on. Modifying the body in this way is a highly specialized, very delicate, and extremely dangerous procedure.

If this procedure isn’t performed by someone who is experienced, nerves and muscles in the tongue can easily be damaged. You are very likely to develop possibly fatal complications from a tongue split, including bleeding and infection. Never attempt to perform this procedure yourself. There are so many dangers associated with tongue splitting that even the American Dental Association (ADA) warns people against it. To ensure the highest quality of results, make sure the procedure is performed by a reputable professional with extensive experience.

In this article, we would discuss more about Tongue Splitting in detail and look at what all does it got. Thus take a read ahead and make sure to consult your doctor before you dive right into it.
