It depends on how long it's been in the tongue but also is different from person to person how fast it closes, but I Recomend You Buy A Retainer For Your Piercing Seeing As They Are See Through.
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.
A friend of mine got a tongue piercing at a professional and asked the same question. He said to wait about an hour or two and while you wait keep the ring in your piercing, because if its brand new with no ring in it, it will close faster than one you had for a while . So just wait about an hour or so with a ring in it. Then the pro said if the tongue is bleeding from when you pierced it first still or its swollen or whatever then you have to wait a little while. While you eat, take your piercing out since its new and the flesh of the tongue is still tender and you dont want to stretch it. Chew carefully and slowly . Hope i helped
1 year after having it done, you can take the jewellery out for an 8 hour period without fear of the piercing closing up.
not usually, but it depends on the person.
What is it with you people getting piercings then asking how long you can take it out for? The point is if you get a piercing (like a tongue) you leave it alone and leave it in, there is no real reason to be removing it unless you are going for a CAT scan or an MRI there is no reason to take it out. Work can not force you to remove it because it's an oral piercing and not visibleunless you are goofing around with it, in that case smarten up and quit goofing with it. You don't need to remove it of GYM classes (what about kids with braces, they don't remove them for GYM) so there is no reason other than those I have out lined, where you need to remove the barbell. OK so for some reason you want to take it out, you have maybe a 1 hour window at the most where if you remove the barbell you can put it back in without any long term damage to the very new piercing you have. The piercing can become damaged by repeated removal and replacement so if you can get away without removing it the better.
The maximum number of piercings that would be considered safe at any one sitting is 3. Even though piercing is relatively safe when in a controlled environment of a professional body piercing studio, there is a limit to what the body will cope with. Any invasive procedure will tax the bodies ability to cope with the stress of piercing. So getting a tongue piercing and a nostril piercing won't be too bad, however be sure you have a good meal ( actual food, not junk food and candy ) at least 1 hour before you get the piercing done. This will allow your body to maintain it's normal blood sugar levels and allow you to cope with the piercing experience.
It depends on your body. Not everyone is the same. Some can close in mminutes and others in days. The age of the piercing doesnt always help determine how long it will stay open. I'd just wear a clear retainer in it to make it less noticeable.
Do the old penny trick. put a penny under your tongue ang suck on it for about and hour or so then take your temp that should do it!
A Tragus piercing, being a deep cartilage piercing should be left in for a period of 3~9 months to allow the piercing to properly season and toughen. As with any piercing they are never considered fully healed until they are a full year old. So the longer you can leave it alone without changing the jewellery the better it is for the piercing.
Sure you can just don't go out and be an idiot when you are out drinking, here's the skinny on drinking and tongue piercings. When you drink you dehydrate your self, you also seem to be fearless and do silly things like show everyone your tongue piercing. It's the hyper extension of the tongue in concert with over drinking and dehydration that makes the next day and all new sense of hell for your tongue. The swelling could be off the chart if you get carried away. So be smart eat before your get the piercing done (about and hour to an hour and a half before), if you go for a drink get the bar maid to get you a glass of ice water to help keep the swelling down during your visit (pop ice in your mouth and let it melt). Just be smart don't get too carried away, stay hydrated with water between drinks and have some fun. Keep the showing it off for a few days down the road, if you have seen one pierced tongue you have seen a dozen.
It depends on how long you have had the piercing. if its new about a couple mins to an hour maybe depends on the body part you put the piercing. if you had it for a while it could take a couple days to close or a month
They have bee known to close up only hours after taking it out, personally i woudlnt take it our for more than an hour, or just wear a retainer if its an appeanrence issue.
