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.

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.


How long does it take for a seasoned tongue piercing to close up?

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.

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.
