Simply remove your jewelry and leave the piercing empty. There is no guarantee that it will fully close, but as long as you are at a "regular" (18-20 gauge, standard post type earring size) or smaller gauge (4-16 gauge) it should shrink enough to go unnoticed.

yes...but barley it depends on what you shrink and for how long and also how much % of it is cotton....but it should shrink
As long as it is in the normal range (not at either extreme) you should be OK
