One_Whisper answered Thursday December 31 2009, 3:45 am: The recommended time for taking a ring out of a tongue is 4-6 weeks but it also depends on how fast your body is able to heal personally I'd wait a good 7-8 months because if you change it too soon you could possibly swell up again. Also, If you take the ring out for a few hours you take the chance of it closing up because the tongue is not cartilage. [ One_Whisper's advice column | Ask One_Whisper A Question ]
