if you got it pierced professionally, then they should have told you how long to wait. But truth be told, i don't always listen. the rule of thumb is when you an move it and it don't hurt, nothing oozing out of it, and you are comfortable enough to do it. It may be too soon to leave it empty, but if you are just switching it, you should be fine. I think I only waited 3 months for my tongue, and was told to wait 6 months. hope this helps.

The piercing will take approximately 5-6 weeks to heal, some people may take longer though, the better you care for the piercing the quicker it will heal, and the less problems you will have. Eyebrow piercings can sometimes be very problematic, this is for several reasons, the skin where the piercing is done is quite thin, and contains a lot of hair follicles and doesn't have much tissue underneath to give it strength. Eyebrows are there to prevent any dirt from falling into the eyes, and therefore the dirt gets into the wound. The piercing gets knocked around a lot when you sleep, and movement hampers the healing process.
