Piercing holes may close depending on how long you’ve had the piercing and your body’s healing ability. Newer piercings can close within a few hours to days if jewelry is removed. Older, well-healed piercings may take longer to close or not close completely. To keep the hole open, wear jewelry consistently and avoid removing it for long periods. If a piercing begins to close, a professional piercer can often help reopen it safely.
