If you are talking about a new piercing the answer would be no. You need to wait for the swelling to settle down (about 14 days) before changing the jewellery in a new tongue piercing.

I got my tongue pierced and its to far back i went to 2 other piercers and they said it was fine but im unhappy with it if i take it out how long should i wait to get it repierced?

Normal placement is 3/4" from the tip of the tongue to the top ball. If your tongue is unusually long placement can vary slightly. If you remove the piercing (no sooner than 72 hours from the time the piercing was first done) you will need to wait at least 3~4 weeks from removal date to get the piercing redone. The tongue swells and distends once it's pierced so we need to be sure this swelling is gone and the old piercing had healed up so there is no bump or distension from the old piercing to interfere with the new piercing. edit: did you know people get (not uncommon either) brain abscesses from their tongue piercings? be careful, because this is definitely one of the most dangerous areas to pierce considering how close it is to your brain stem.

Will your period mess with your vertical hood piercing?

If you shower daily and clean the piercing then you should be just fine. Keeping the piercing clean is important so if need be shower twice a day if you want to be on the safe side. Exotics heal very quickly (light heal in about 7 days) due to the increased circulation in mucous tissue, this allows the piercing to afford a light heal quite quickly. Showering will not harm the piercing and will actually promote the healing.
