After 8 years chances are good it's permanent at this point.
It depends on how long you had it in. ( a week yes probably.. 5 months no)
Chances are really good that the piercing will shrink making reinsertion of the barbell difficult, if this occurs visit your local body piercer where they can reinsert it using and insertion taper.
yes you can but just make sure you put it back it because if you don't your hole will close back up and it do try to find your hole and take your tongue ring a twist the ring back into the hole
Many times, the hole will close and you will to get it pierced again. However, sometimes you can still slide it in, it's a case-to-case basis.
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.
You can use a piece of retainer jewelry made of plastic or silicone to keep the hole from closing without having a tongue ring in place. Alternatively, you can visit a piercing shop and ask them to insert a temporary acrylic or glass retainer that will maintain the hole until you can reinsert your tongue ring.
If you have had your tongue ring for 2 years, you should be able to leave it out for a few hours without any issues. However, it's best not to leave it out for an extended period of time as the hole can close up quickly, especially in the first few years after getting the piercing. Be cautious and monitor how your tongue reacts to longer periods without the ring.
No, its not. Go see your piercer.
I wouldn't leave it out for no more than a few mins cause the tongue heals real fast and the hole can close up pretty quick..i've had my tongue peirced twice cause the hole closed up that quick...well i left it out for a day or so and couldn't get the jewelry back in.You may beable to get by at least 30 min without it completely closing
It can't close if it has a ring in it stupid
The barbell is too long for your mouth, step the barbell down and that should go away.
Well the only way to put anything into a tongue is to use a needle to pierce the tongue first then put a barbell into the newly pierced hole. (Please quit calling it a tongue ring, it's a barbell and not a ring).
