I would say 6 months to be on the safe side. And if you want to change it after about 4 or so months, then have the other ring ready and switch it quickly. I've had mine for about 5 years, and now I can keep it out for weeks and it still doesn't close.

It is generally recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks before changing or removing a tongue ring to allow the piercing to heal properly and minimize the risk of complications. Make sure to consult with your piercer for specific guidance based on your individual healing process.

You had your tongue ring for about 8 months if you take it out for a day will the hole close up?

It's possible that the hole could partially close up in a day, but it may not fully close depending on how long you had the tongue ring in for. The longer you had the tongue ring, the longer it may take for the hole to close completely.

How long do I have to keep a tongue piercing in before you can take it out to hide it from my parents?

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.
