Well I'm 28 now and I still have 3 on the lobes of each ear, and my tragus and cartilage on my right ear... I usually wear just my diamond studs or a single hoop, sometimes I add a diamond stud behind the hoop. Just recently I wore 3 diamond studs in graduating sizes... It was a pain though because they're all screw backs!!!I'm 26 and I have three holes. I usually wear a diamond hoop in the first and diamond studs descending in size in the second and third. Sometimes I wear earrings in one hole or two, sometimes none. I think you should do what you think would look nice on you. I'm so beyond caring what someone thinks when it comes to my personal choices. I think if you like it, go for it!!!
