Well it depends on lots of factors like how long you've had the piercing. They don't usually close up but will become very small and not be obvious. Once a piercing is fully healed scar tissue has formed around it and scar tissue does not heal over. If you are serious about wanting the hole closed you would have to cut it and let it heal which will cause more scar tissue to form in the hole but I would talk to a doctor about it. Don't do it to yourself.
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.

Well, its really hard to say because everyone's body will react differently, and it depends on how your body heals. A tongue piercing is considered an open wound right up until you let it close. After five years mine is still considered that. I have had mine for about five years now and I'm so used to it that when i take it out, i forget. I have gone a little over two weeks with it out and it didn't close or get smaller. I had a tongue ring for close to four years and it took a couple days at most. I don't think it actually matters how long it's been once it has been more than a year or two.
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.
No, tongue rings are specifically designed for tongue piercings and are not suitable for an industrial piercing. An industrial piercing typically requires a long straight barbell that goes through two separate ear piercings. It is best to use jewelry that is specifically designed for an industrial piercing to ensure proper healing and comfort.
It takes as long as it takes once a piercing has healed it depends on haow long you leave the jewellery out, if you are done with the piercing it can take a few days to several weeks for the piercing to actually close once it's a seasoned piercing (seasoned being over a year old).
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.
Why do you have a fishing line in your tongue piercing in the first place
You can go to an oral surgeon and have the web clipped, or simply get a tongue web piercing.
Only a couple of months, once the tissue is seasoned it will not shrink down and you will need to get medical intervention in order to have the piercing close. (lancing)
Healing will occur very quickly, generally with in a few hours the body will start to mend the piercing point. be sure to clean your mouth out with a good oral rinse and do not brush your tongue. The piercing will close in about 24 ~ 48 hours.
Depends on how long you had the piercing before removing the jewellery.
It really depends on the type of piercing and long you've had the piercing.
5 years.
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 get your naval (belly) piercing at 13-17 as long as you take an adult and the same applys with the tongue piercing but they may tell you to wait until you are 14
