well that depends... when you first pierce it your navel will swell so after some time it may seem like the skin is shrinking but the swelling is just going down.thats what heppend with mine but if u feel that this is still odd u should go see your doctor about it. ... It does happen, just like with surface piercings, the piercist will warn you that over time the skin will shrink. its nothing serious though.

Can you re pierce the scoop tongue piercing?
Oral piercing generally don't close up, they tend to just shrink. I would suggest a visit to your local professional body piercer and have him/her use a taper to probe the area and see if the piercing is still open (which it should be). This would save you a piercing fee and healing time.
