There is no logical reason why you cannot have your tongue pierced as an asthmatic. It won’t affect your lungs any more than anyone else’s, just remember to clean it proper after you take your inhalers etc. I should imagine the risk is no different to anyone else’s, but if your concerned speak to the person piercing... if it was a red flag (a big no-no) they will be aware of it as it would have been drilled into them on their training
