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.

You will HAVE to get a flesh staple bar, and it is important to note that surface piercings have a notorious rejection rate even if you have a staple in it. Keep an eye on it, and keep to a religious piercing regiment. Not just with antibacterial soap, but also with tea tree oil to reduce the chance of developing keoilds, which are quite common with surface piercings.

It's recommended to wait 4-6 weeks before changing the initial barbell in a tongue piercing to allow proper healing. Changing it too soon can cause irritation, swelling, and increase the risk of infection. Be sure to consult with your piercer before making any changes to ensure it's safe to do so.
You need to have a bar or ring in the piercing else it will heal up because a piercing is just like a wound. if theres a bar or ring there then it will heal but around the ring or bar, so you still have the piercing. You don't need a ring, you can have a belly button bar. x
