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
You only have to wait until the swelling goes down.Improved Answer:PLZZZ wait at leat a month or so before you change your tongue ring... because if you don't then when you take it out to put in your new ring your tongue WILL swell causeing the hole to instantly close back up... even if your tongue isn't swolen any more dosent mean it cant swell back up... && most likely it will... just wait.. it wont hurt to wait...
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
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.
Sometimes, this will settle down as the piercing heals and seasons "toughens up".
I have had my tongue ring for almost 10 years, and I have a small hard spot close to the tongue ring. I think it is just the tongues version of scar tissue. It hardens up to protect itself from the tongue ring being there. And I even have a round indention on the top of my tongue from the ball pushing down for so long. Hope this helps you!
I had my tongue pierced twice.. once for 1 year and took it out for about a year and got it repierced about a year laer and my holes never closed up completely because i just reopened it myself and it has been almost two years...So i guess it depends on the person because my friends's closed after two weeks.
No. A tongue stud is too long to be a good nipple ring. You'd wind up catching it on something and then you'd really be sorry.
Depends on how long you had the piercing before removing the jewellery.
It doesn't take long before a new tongue pierce hole closes because when you open and close your mouth your hole in you tongue just gets used to having nothing in it so i would say about 24 hours before it closes.
A complete healing of tongue piercing can take up to 4 weeks.
