I've had my eyebrow pierced for 1.5 years and it's started shrinking. If I take it out how long will I have to wait before getting it repierced? Also, I work at a grocery store that prohibits piercings. I've been wearing a plastic retainer to work. If I get it repierced is there any safe clear plastic alternative to keep in my piercing while it's healing, like a bioplast barbell that you can still screw balls on? Or will I have to just remove the balls and put band-aid over the posts at work?
Everybody’s piercing closes at a different rate. It could be anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months for it to be closed enough to re-pierce in the same spot.
I’d suggest a glass retainer for keeping it hidden at work. They’re pretty discreet. Fused quartz glass, lead-free borosilicate, and lead-free soda-lime glass are inert and considered safe for initial piercings. They can also be sterilized in an autoclave.
