Wait 3 to 6 months
It can take three to six months for a nipple piercing to heal completely, according to the Center for Young Women’s Health. During the healing process, the wearer should not change the stud provided at the piercing.
Then, can I change my nipple piercing after a week?
If you urgently need to change your nipples, it will be better to wait until six weeks elapse. However, this may still lengthen the healing period as the wound of the initial piercing will somehow be still fresh.
Correspondingly, can I take my nipple piercing out for a day?
There is no stipulated time on how long it takes for the nipple piercing to close. However, if the piercing has been there for a short time, for example, the six to twelve months have not lapsed, the piercing will start closing after about 24 hours.
