Not to sound critical of your personal choices CG, but I am one person who finds tongue piercing extremely unattractive. Mainly that is because everytime I see someone with a pierced tongue they are constantly sticking out their tongue to feel the "barbell" against their lips. It turns my stomach everytime as does seeing pierced eyebrows, lips and noses.
You did answer one question for me and that was whether or not it could be removed like earrings. And since you say you have a flat, flesh colored device that you use, that would appear to be a reasonable compromise between work and personal lives. I did work with a gal once who had a pierced nose. I had a difficult time having face to face conversations with her because that hoop in her nose was distracting.
As for earrings, I have two holes in each ear. I normally only wear one earring in each ear just because. I have no problem with those who pierce their ears 3 or 4 times each as long as their appearance is neat and not "punked". For the most part, your hair can hide some of them.
And as far as tattoos go, I'm not bothered by those unless they are extremely obvious or obnoxious looking. I've work with several ladies who had them, and they kept them hidden when at work.
What a person does on their own time is not my business, but in an office environment I have a very old school attitude for the most part. I expect my co-workers to dress as professionally as possible. In my book certain body art like pierced lips or eyebrows and obnoxious tattoos do not belong in the office environment.
