How long can you take out your nipple piercing before hole closes?

This varies from person to person and also how long you have had the piercing. Never remove a piercing for more than a few minutes if it is less than a year and a half to two years old, simply as a precaution.
If it is old enough, the best way to check is to remove your piercing in the morning when you get up and periodically (every four hours) slip the jewelry back in and see if it's stiff or still loose. If it stays loose throughout the entire day add an hour or two to how long the jewelry is out.
If you can go 16 or more hours without it getting stiff I would then leave it out overnight (your body heals better at night when you are resting) and try to put it in first thing in the morning.
If it's stiff then you know what you should not leave it out overnight, but during the day. This is the best way I can think to do this as it works VERY well for new (but old enough) piercings and stretched piercings.

How long before a new tongue piercing closes?
A new tongue piercing can start to close within hours to days if jewelry is removed, as the tongue is a fast-healing area due to its rich blood supply. However, it can take several weeks to fully close up depending on individual healing characteristics and how long the piercing has been in place.

Can you change a nipple ring on your own and how?
Yes, you can. During the initial healing period it is always best if you get your nipple ring changed by the piercer, but after your nipple piercing has healed completely, you can change it on your own, at will. Here's how: 1) Make sure that the new nipple ring which you intend to insert is disinfected properly. Cleaning it with some antibacterial soap often does the trick. In addition to the nipple ring, your hands as well as the nipple piercing should be cleaned thoroughly with antibacterial soap. 2) Now for removing the old nipple ring. You need to start by pressing your skin next to one hole of the nipple piercing. Keeping the skin pressed, you have to slowly remove the ring from the piercing bit by bit till it comes out completely. 3) The new nipple ring should be inserted in much the same way. You have to pinch your nipples to make the piercing visible and then put the ring into one hole. Slowly keep pushing the nipple ring further into the hole till you see it come out from the other hole. Once inserted fully, you simply need to close the ring or tighten any screws on the ring. If you are finding it a little difficult, you should oil your piercing and your new nipple ring with some water based lubricant before changing the nipple ring, as this will facilitate the process. Putting a hot compress on your skin or taking a hot shower just prior to changing your nipple ring also helps a lot as this makes your skin softer, which enables the nipple ring to be changed relatively easier. With practice, it will become very easy to change your nipple ring, and practice you will get aplenty. What with the thousands of varieties of nipple rings available nowadays, you might just end up changing your nipple ring very often. Hence the above advice is sure to come in handy, provided of course that you do have a nipple piercing!

After lip ring heals can it close up?
Like any hole in the body that wasn't there by design the piercing will close if jewellery is not kept in the piercing.

What age is too oyung to have a belly piercing?
I think that Colorado standards are good. Any piercing except nipple and genital can be performed on anyone over the age of 13. I am not saying that at thirteen you know you're going to want that hole for the rest of your life, just that you're starting to identify yourself and piercing is one way of doing that.
