You are watching: How fast does a tongue piercing close up
My girlfrifinish provided to have actually a nose piercing, yet she took it out when she got a cold (yuck) and it closed up extremely easily - although hers was still sensibly current, while I"ve had my tongue piercing for a couple of years. I"d choose to oblige the director, yet I"ve heard that the mouth heals exceptionally quickly, and also I"d be a little bummed if I couldn"t obtain the stud earlier in. Am I vastly overestimating my mutant healing factor?
With a tongue stud, you carry out not have actually long -- I rerelocated mine for 3 hrs and was never able to gain it earlier in again. I"d hit a jewelry shop and check out if they have something in matte clear plastic that wouldn"t catch the phase lights.posted by jennyjenny at 12:19 PM on February 18, 2005
What you"re in search of is somepoint referred to as a tongue retainer -- this site has one

I"ve had a tongue stud for around four years now, and can quickly take it out for two-three weeks. Sometimes it requirements a small press to obtain earlier in, however definitely not difficult.When it was newish i had trouble gaining it ago in after a pretty short while.I say experiment a little bit: try for a couple of hours/the duration of the play, and you must be fine.On preview: Yup, I"ve also provided a plastic stud for those occasions. Works pretty great, although they tfinish to shatter if you accidentally bite them.posted by AwkwardPause at 12:27 PM on February 18, 2005
excusage me, can not you attempt to paint the stud"s reminder via a babsence nontoxic paint best before going onstage? would certainly that work?posted by matteo at 12:58 PM on February 18, 2005
As you may already recognize, BME is the best resource of bodmod-related information on the internet (great work, Shannon).The guiding dominance for these things is YMMV--some folks" piercings cshed up nearly automatically, others" never before. That said, I agree with everyone who urged you to gain a retainer. Or, more generally, obtain a piece of jewelry that doesn"t glint in the lights. Tribalectic has a wide selection, though I"ve never before bought anypoint from them.posted by box at 1:17 PM on February 18, 2005
I ultimately took out my tongue piercing bereason I obtained worn down of it. However, the retained will work-related out good. I had actually one and used it to protect against parental guff in college. But, if you don"t usage one, you will be fine for a couple of hours. I had actually mine for 5 years, and also by the moment I took it out, it took a week to close up entirely. You may have to (sorry, this is kind of gross) punch via some skin that heals over the hole, however that"s not such a problem.posted by Middle ages Maven at 1:22 PM on February 18, 2005

Although O/T, as I do not think it would occupational for a singer via a tongue piercing, I understand that a loop of transparent fishing line or monofilament can be beneficial for keeping some piercings open up invisibly.posted by obloquy at 3:30 PM on February 18, 2005
