I had a tongue piercing for awhile, but now I took it away. Just like you I wanted to have it back so I went to the local piercing studio and let them do it, it's just like the first time you take it, just easier - Since they'll already have a hole to stick it it. So get the piercing-shop to do it!
If the hole has only shrunk minimally then it is possible to simply push the jewellery through, stretching the hole slightly and reopening it. This should only be done with smooth jewellery - do not try this with an externally threaded barbell (if your jewellery has an ending which resembles a screw, don't use it to stretch).
However, if this is more than a little painful then the hole has closed too much to be reopened. Allow the piercing to heal completely and see your friendly neighbourhood piercer to have it re-pierced.
It can't close if it has a ring in it stupid
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).
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
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 depends on how long you had it in. ( a week yes probably.. 5 months no)
If its already closing, either go to your piercer for them to repierce it now, or let it heal and repierce it then. Don;t try it yourself
It can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months for a tongue ring hole to close completely. The healing time can vary depending on individual factors such as the length of time the piercing was in place, how well it was cared for, and individual healing processes.
After 8 years chances are good it's permanent at this point.
Yes until the tissue shrinks closed on it's own.
I don't have a white ring under my tongue.
The barbell is too long for your mouth, step the barbell down and that should go away.
There is no "lock on a tongue ring" and it's not a ring it's a barbell.
