I feel like my "phase" of having a naval piercing is over and would like to remove it. Is it ok to just take it out and go on with life? Or do I have to clean the hole regularly or do anything else to make sure it doesn't get infected while it's closing? And does anyone know about how long it will take to close?

It's fine to just remove it.
Clean it a little the first week, and just mointer it, continue to do so after if nescassary, but it shouldnt be any problems, unless it's infection-prone.
Then apply vitamin e oil after each cleaning, to reduce scarring.
Hope this helps.

just take it out, it's already healed. no cleaning, sometimes the hole never closes, just gets smaller.i havnt had my piercing in.. in about 5 years, and the hole is still there.
