OK simply put a tongue piercing once done will have localized swelling for the first two weeks, once the swelling has eased the barbell may seem some what longer (good time to get the barbell stepped down to protect the teeth). Once the step down barbell is in the piercing will remain slightly swelled for the next 4 weeks. So over all, so long as you don't get a cold* (*this will prolong the healing time) you are looking at a time period of 6 weeks to attain a light heal. This is far from considered healed, professional piercers consider a piercing seasoned and fully healed when the piercing is a full year old.

Is it safe to take out a tongue piercing for good after the first day?
If you decide you no longer want the piercing that is fine. Never remove a piercing till it has fully healed. The Tonga is a muscle and requires adequate healing time do not remove for 3 to 6 months. It will try to heal as soon as you remove it, as well as cause major infection if you take it in and out. It is an open wound and the mouth is a dirty place...
Do you have to wait 6 to 8 weeks to change your lip piercing?
You wouldn't have been told to wait that long unless you needed to be told to wait that long. You need to let the piercing heal before you go changing the jewellery, if you change it too soon you can damage the fine tissue your body is trying to form to make the piercing. So wait till it's ready.
Can you get a tongue piercing while on Prednisone?
I've answered this exact same question before in relation to tattoos, but in the instance of a piercing; prednisone is an immunosuppressant medication that will possibly effect the healing of the piercing and/or tattoo, so I would hold off on getting it till you are either off of the medication or have switched to a different medication with less of an impact to your immune system. However, the tongue is an area that with proper care will heal quite easily and quickly, so possibly given this you would be able to get the piercing with no adverse reactions. Still though, I would hold off.

How long does it take to get the tongue pierced?
Swelling goes down in two weeks, the piercing has a light heal by six weeks and a full heal by one year. Any time under a year the piercing can react to various health issues, getting sick or catching a cold for example. But no professional body piercer will consider a piercing seasoned until it's a year old.The tongue is actually the fastest healing of all piercings due to the nature of the organ. The pain and swelling should stop within two weeks max, and the tongue should accept the jewelry and heal itself within two to three months. Other piercings may take up to a year to heal completely, but this is not the case with the tongue as it is cartilage-free and is a solid muscle therefore healing more quickly than connective tissue.The tongue is two muscle complexes joined in the center by connective tissue and still requires an appropriate time to heal and season. 6~8 weeks for a light heal but is considered seasoned after a one year period. Based on over 17 years of providing professional piercing services in a licensed piercing facility.The swelling should go down in a bout a week. Maybe longer if you try to eat or just play with it a lot. You shouldn't change it till the swelling has completely gone down which may take anywhere from 1-3 months.Tongue piercings take 6 to 8 weeks to get a light heal, but the tongue is far from healed in that time, it can take another 2 months for the tongue to heal completely if not more depending on the level of your health.A tongue piercing without complications can fully heal in four weeks. With complications, it may never heal and might have to be surgically closed. Every body piercing can result in sepsis and even death.6 to 8 weeks for a light heal however it will take 6 months for the body to season and toughen the piercing to the point it can be removed for short periods of time (hour or two max) under the first year.
How long do you have to wait before you can drink something with citric acid with a new tongue piercing?
About five days at the most, basically it would be best if you waited till you get the smaller tongue bar when the swelling has gone down but that is when you have to go back to where you got it pierced and they will give you a free small tongue bar and put it in for you.
How many hours till it closes up-belly ring?
Your question isn't very clear, but I will give it a shot. The time it takes for a navel piercing to close or "heal up" depends on how long you have had the piercing. The longer the piercing has been in place with jewellery, the longer it will take for the piercing to close with the jewellery removed. Generally if you have had the piercing with jewellery over a year the piercing can take several months to shrink down to the point where you can't put jewellery into the piercing any longer. If you have only had the piercing for a few months then it can take a few weeks for the piercing to close.
How long till a hole closes up after taking a piercing out?
