When I had my tongue pierced, I was hospitalized for a short time. I had my tongue ring out for about 8 hours before the hole closed. If I forced it, I probably could have gotten the barbell back in...but it would have been very painful. It was pierced for a couple years prior. Tongue piercings close up very quickly, even if they are fully healed.
Can I use thumb tacks as earrings?

see what I mean by depends? My tongue hole (which I don't use anymore) stayed open for months at a time without the jewel. I mean long stretches like 6-8 months.
