you can leave it out for about an hour before it closes up, but it varies but different people. you should find a way to find out how long you can keep yours out for, such as leaving it out half an hour and see what happens, you should be able to push it back through easily otherwise. you have to have your lip pierced for the recommended time of leaving it in before you take it out and see how long you can leave it out for.

Umm about 15mins before it heals, but just don't take it out for long periods, but holes closing up for people are different cuz people are different later

I have only had mine for 5 days and I took mine out for about ten minutes and it went back in like butter. You can also call your local tattoo and piercing shop and ask to the person doing piercing and ask them
