Its different for everyone. Some people can have piercings for years and have them close up in a few hours. But then again, yours may not close that quickly. If you have to take them out for work then just wear clear retainers in them.

∙ 12y agoIt can take only a few seconds for it to close. You should keep the earring in for the time that the people who pierced your ears told you to keep it in. (usually that is about 3 or 4 weeks). Of corse it doesn't close all the way in this time period, but it will cause at least one layer of skin to close and be painful as you try to put the ring back in. Another thing I just thought of how long ago do you mean by "just got it"? do you mean "just" 5 minutes ago or "just" 5 days? The longer you've had the earrings in, the less of a chance you have of the piercings closing up right away.

How long does it take for an ear piercing to close up completely?
It depends on where it is pierced. The lobes can take about 3 months to completely close up, where your cartilage can take 6 months to even a year to completely close up. It also depends on how long you have had the piercing. A piercing that you've had for years can take years to close (in my personal experience).

How long does it take for a piercing to close just after getting a piercing?
a few days or just overnight it actually really depends on the piercing. A lip or tongue piercing will begin to close almost immediately if it was pierced very recently(within a month-ish of being pierced) However everyone is different but the mouth is known to be the quickest healing of the human body. Ear lobes Vs ear cartilage piercing will differ as well. A lobe will heal faster than cartilage because cartilage takes longer to develop. So it really depends on your body type and what type of piercing.

There is no such piercing as a "cartridge piercing." There is, however, a cartilage piercing and they can be taken out. After you get your cartilage pierced, you need to wait 6 to 8 weeks for it to heal completely. If you decide to take it out, it will close up automatically in just a few weeks.
