I took mine out about a week in and replaced it with a clear bar, but they tell you you should wait a minimum of 2 wks before you remove the original bar. You can't keep the bar out or the hole will close. It's only a matter of minutes before it will close so I don't advise you to take it out and keep it out. Just replace it with a tongue retainer. You can Google them. Also, it doesn't matter how long you've had the piercing, your tongue heals quickly and the hole will close. I know someone who had their tongue piercing for 10 yrs but when she took her tongue ring out it only took about half an hour before the hole started closing.
don't tell them don't talk much around them To hide a tongue piercing from your parents, you just don't get it pierced. OR you can get a clear tongue ring to put in.
For work, you could try a clear glass retainer. For parents, it'll be tough to hide it completely.
Usually a tongue piercing only needs about a month for the fistula to be formed enough to change jewelry. although, if it still feels sore or seems raw, I would wait longer. Also, if you want to remove it to hide it, I would definitely wait longer than six weeks.
You dont take your shirt off in front of them...?
No the retainers do not provide enough room for the swelling that you will encounter in the first 72 hours post piercing, you need to have a barbell first, then you can go to a retainer in about 2 to 3 weeks time.
sleep at a mates house for the first week then after that just pull it out whilst ur parents are around
Nope! not many things will, it's a pretty awkward piercing to hide.
It is generally not recommended to get your tongue pierced if you have a lisp because the piercing can potentially worsen the lisp or cause speech difficulties. It is best to consult with a speech therapist and a piercing professional before making a decision to ensure your speech is not negatively affected.
For work or school, you could wear a clear, glass retainer. For parents, there really isn't a way to hide them unless your hair can cover your ears. They'll be kinda obvious
i would say find an stud (earing) to match ur skin color
It depends on what piercings youre trying to hide. You could try those clear flexible retainers.
Take it off.
