How long will navel piercing stay open with no ring?

Answer:
The piercing will start to shrink almost right away, but the piercing will not close completely for a few hours till it shrinks to a point where it can start to close on it's own. Be careful when replacing the jewellery do so after a shower where the tissue is moist and the jewellery can be replaced without having to force it into the piercing. If it's too snug go see your local body piercer to have the piercing tapered open to replace the jewellery.
