520 chain to tight

When my boy put my chain on he took too many links out and now the chain is real tight with no slack is it safe to put a extra master link in the chain

I'm guessing you have the axle adjuster all the way forward as it possibly can,
I honestly would't run 2 masters... How tight is "tight"

You can really mess up a lot on the bike if you run it like that, I would just suck it up and buy a new chain. The bent trans parts and headache of fixing it all far out ways the cost of a new chain.
