I know everyone's piercings respond differently but (PL) my snakebites aren't 7 years old and I've gone 2 or 3 days with them out with 0 issues. Most piercing wearers have to remove them for work and also have no problems if they aren't fairly recent. Does anyone with more diverse piercing experience know if this story seems even slightly possible? Especially given how well we know Amber's body heals.
I know a tattoo artist/piercer. Everyone heals differently, every location heals differently, and complications/aftercare with the piercing can change the way it heals, but generally after you've had a piercing for at least a year (and this is being generous to those who heal quickly/had complications) can go more than 8hrs before it closes up completely. It might hurt a little when you pop it back in because the skin is an incredible organ but I doubt it was fully sealed. A piercing that is totally healed takes months to close entirely, on average.
Not to mention this fat blob that definitely had the beetus, even then (slow healing) and sports the same god awful scratches for months at a time.
Edit: Maybe if she got sick and her body rejected them, they tend to swell and crust shut.
