Depends on what kind of piercing it is. Ears will usually take weeks to decrease in size, and may never close up completely, depending on factors like: A) how long you've had them and B) have you stretched the holes, etc.
As far as I know from friends and such, belly button holes would probably be a few days to a few weeks, depending on the same factors mentioned above, while facial (eyebrow, labret, etc.) would be considerably less, life a few days, due to the face being particularly vascular tissue. The quickest of all piercings is the tongue, which I have heard can start to close up within 30 minutes to an hour after removing the barbell.
Can I use thumb tacks as earrings?
