I had no idea that a tongue piercing will close up overnight if you take the barbell out

A tattoo will not come off, unless you try really really hard.

Crazy, mine didn't close up for weeks after taking it out.

Ah, I think I know what happened.

The first time I got it downsized, I think they did a bit of damage when they put the barbell back in. This caused my tongue to swell. The second resize was probably the right size but it aggravated the injury and made my tongue swell up even more. When I took the barbell out, the injury likely accelerated the tissue healing.

I've got a bit of an infection right now. Aggressively going after it with hydrogen peroxide and scope - hopefully it'll clear up quickly.
