Ettiquite dictates that one should open in the top right corner of the go board. This illustrates respect for the opponent.... Asking to open in the tengen shows that you are in fact willing to play in the top right and show respect, however, would like to do something else. 


The etiquette only tells you to occupy the lower triangle of the upper
right quadrant. Tengen is fine and has been used in high-ranking
professional games.
