Mine closed in about an hour, so depending on what you're wanting to take it out for, just watch the time.
your earing holes won't close if it's been longer than a couple years. (say maybe 2 years.) unless it's a cartilage, it might. it also depends if they have earrings in them or not..
I think about 3 or 2 months, even in a few weeks. To keep em' pierced, just use an earring to make a hole. It's a whole alota cheapa'
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).
I've had mine done for 10 years & I hardly ever wear jewelry in it. Take the earring out while you're at school, it won't close up that fast. Try to find a very small earring that isnt noticable to wear while you're at school. Claire's & Walmart are good stores to look for small earrings.
Years ago, sailors used to wear an earring in their left ear to indicate they had crossed the equator.
Cocaine usage!! I had my nose pierced on the left side about 16 years ago. The cartilage in that side is completely gone.
Yes you can. I've had my cartilage pierced for 7 years and all I wear are regular earlobe studs. I even wear earlobe dangle earrings in my cartliage sometimes and its fine. No stretching or anything.
stitches...
From experience, yes. You will have a tiny bump, as a scar.
I think piercing places are starting a new policy where if you're under 18, you have to have a birth certificate, a state ID, and parent consent. I can't go get my nose pierced without my state ID which I'm waiting on but a couple years ago I had no problem going to get my cartilage pierced.
Assuming you are talking about the septum of your nose... It is very possible that it will never close back up. Depending on how much cartilage you removed (diameter of the hole) the skin may not be able to bridge the gap. Typically cartilage does not grow back, however, skin will attempt to cover the hole. If it does this you could be looking at over a year, sometimes 2 years before the hole is closed. It really depends on how large the hole is, your own body's unique healing abilities and ethnic background. Some people develop a thick type of scar tissue and that can become a medical or cosmetic issue of it's own. Assuming you have not had this type of scarring during your time with your septum pierced, I would say 1-2 years will tell you if it will close up. Again, if it is a large piercing typical of that area, it is likely not to ever fully close up due to the removal of cartilage.
Yes you can, but it's very unhealthy and painful. The jewelry that they use is unsafe, and guns can never be cleaned properly. Most people that operate guns are taught by a training video or piercing a teddy bear. Use a hollow needle, go to a real piercing shop.
