HAVE you ever wondered what happens to your piercings when you die?

One woman has, and took to TikTok to pose the question to autopsy technician Gerald Ledford, writing: "What about piercings?

"When I die I absolutely need to keep every single one – facial and body piercings."

Gerald, who posts under the G Dubya account on TikTok, replied: "You’re worried I’m going to take your piercings out and you don’t get to take them with you?

"The only one I take out is your tongue ring.

"I remove your tongue during an autopsy – we need to make sure you didn’t bite down on it, need to make sure you don’t have drugs at the back of your throat."
