How fast does a nose piercing close up?
I have my nose pierced. It's an 18 gauge piercing. (Standard size for nose piercings.) So obviously, a nose ring is thicker than an earring.
I have been looking for a nose hoop for a long time. I finally found an earring hoop that fits in my nose really well. The only problem is, that the hoop is not 18 gauge. (Meaning the hoop is thinner than the usual nose rings I wear.)
So I was wondering:
How fast does a nose piercing close up?
Would it be okay if I wore the thinner nose hoop for about 8 hours?
(After school, I will put in the regular, thicker nose ring.)
Do you think my piercing could close up a lot in 8 hours?
Thanks in advance, and please ONLY answer if you have your nose pierced and know what you're talking about. I don't care if your sister or your friend has theirs pierced, I only want to hear from you if you have your own nose pierced.

It all depends on how fast your body heals itself. My body heals VERY fast and I had my nose pierced, but then I TOOK OUT my nose stud because my dad didn't like it. Then next day I went to my mom's house and took my nose stud and a needle, so I could re-pierce my nose (don't EVER pierce anything on your body yourself unless you're a professional). Well, to my surprise, I pushed my nose stud through the hole with little effort! Since my nose didn't close up over one night, I think you will be fine! Don't forget to clean the piercing with ANTIBACTERIAL soap, and not alcohol (just a reminder!). Good luck and I'm sure you will be fine!!

If you just got your nose peirced you should prolly keep your thicker earing in. I don't think your nose will close up that fast. Sometimes i dont wear earrings or anything for months, but they still have yet to close on me.

I got my nose peirced when I was 16, three years ago. I also had found something I fell in love with that happened to be an ear ring and wore it for a little while, id say a couple of days. The problem was that it [like you said] was too small and since id only had the peircing for 4 or 5 weeks my body started to heal it and when I finally put my nose ring back in it almost wouldnt fit. It did, it hurt a little, but it stretched back out and everything was fine. So depending on how long youve had the peircing for is what will make the difference. If youve had it for at least 3 months [which is about how long mine took to COMPLETELY heal-- where I could leave it out for days at a time] id say youll be fine, if youve had it for about 6 weeks, id say 8 hours couullddd be pushing it, but will be fine also. Any time less than that id suggest just waiting it out a little bit, or only wear it for very very short amounts of time. Hope that helped at least a little! Keep it clean, good luck! :]

If the piercing is new, then it will close up fast, if you've had it for more than a year, then it will be ok.
I suggest looking in piercing shops for 18ga. rings if you are worried about the current one.
When I got my nose done, I wore 20ga. rings and it was fine, although it was kind of hard to get a bigger ga. jewelry back in.
Hope this helped :)

I've had it done 3 times.
Anyway, you didn't say how long you've had it done for.
For the 1st 6 months at least, yes, it can close up within a matter of hours. It's how I lost one of mine when it fell out whilst I was sleeping. It was completely closed when I tried to re pierce it.
Of course yours wouldn't close up totally, because you still have a thinner ring in.
but in all honesty, I do feel 8 hours is a little long.
Wear it for a few hours and switch every now and then. It's the best thing I can think of.. unless you find a better fitting 18 gauge.
