The monsters in the film and its sequels, such as Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, as well as its many inspired works, such as Return of the Living Dead and Zombi 2, are usually hungry for human flesh, although Return of the Living Dead introduced the popular concept of zombies eating brains.
The lesson is: No one knows what your tonge is going to do. The only way to know is to take it out and see. So you have two options you can hang out at home one day, take your tongue ring out, and try putting it back in every few hours. If it slips back in after 2 hours being out, try 4. If that works, try 6, etc. You can even leave the piercing out overnight if you want to test it.
Earring holes can close particularly fast within the first year following piercing. Without an earring, the diameter of the hole shrinks considerably and can completely close. For this reason, it is recommended that someone with a new piercing keep the original earring in for at least six weeks before removing. After six weeks, the earring can be removed for cleaning, but it is recommended to quickly replace the earring in the new hole for up to a full year to prevent closure.
