Is it okay to get a tongue piercing for personal reasons?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I have a question. I really want to get my tongue pierced. I would clean it very well everyday several times a day and I would remove it when going to mosque or prayer. I want it for myself no one else, would this be ok?

A: This is not permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

عن ابن عمر قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم.  (سنن أبي داود #4033)

من تشبه بقوم أي من شبه نفسه بالكفار مثلا في اللباس وغيره أو بالفساق أو الفجار أو بأهل التصوف والصلحاء الأبرار فهو منهم أي في الإثم والخير. (مرقاة شرح مشكاة 4/431).
