Split tongue

Tongue forking, also known as a split tongue, is form of body modification. The tongue is divided from the tip toward the back of the tongue for about 1-2 inches. The result is a bisected tongue, not unlike that of a lizard’s tongue.

Otherwise known as bifurcated tongue, is a tongue that is separated roughly midway to the base. Most commonly done with suture and scalpel, the procedure may be done with a cauterizing tool or as it was first done with a tongue piercing and fishing line. It is quickly gaining popularity in the body modification scene.
