I have a double piercing, got one at 18 and the other at 21. Did have to learn how to talk a little different (to avoid a lisp) and can't roll my 'R's like I used to. They are farther set back so not overly noticeable. Have had corporate jobs and never been an issue. The tongue does swell a lot when healing, that's for sure, but it heals rather quickly. I agree with waiting a bit to make sure you're comfortable with the decision before doing any body modification.
