I had my ears pierced at the first available opportunity: my 16th birthday. Occasionally I regret the decision. My lobes are thin and medium weight earrings have stretched the holes a bit. I can no longer wear dangly earrings.

I do wear earrings everyday though - generally large mabe pearls, edged in gold, or 18K gold "Diana" hoops.

neat thread!

i got my first hole for my fifth birthday and immediately started working on my mom for a second one. i wanted to be just like her and my cool aunt robyn, who had sparkly gold earrings going all the way up and around her ear. there were probably 15 peircings in each ear...and that was the 80s, before piercings were cool! :)

mom always told me i could have the second peircing when i went to middle school so for my 11th birthday (right before sixth grade started) i got my second holes. the thirds came on my fourteenth. on my 18th i got a cartilige peircing (and an eyebrow peircing much to the dismay of my father and my boss!) and three months later another cartilege piercing for one for my friend's 18th (she needed moral support). :) by my 19th i had changed my style to a more classic one and i had let all but one set grow over (and bye bye eyebrow ring! yikes!)

now i only have that first set and only own small simple white gold hoops...they are the only earrings i have worn in five years, and the only ones i will wear until hubby buys me 2 carat diamond studs. :) sometimes i think i want an industrial or a spiral cartilidge peircing, but my fashion mantra is WWJD - what would jackie onassis do? somehow i just don't think she'd have multiple cartilidge peircings. :)

I have 9 piercings in one ear and 10 in the other. I love earrings! The most I had at any point was 12 in each ear. I got my first ear piercings when I was 12 years old. All the extra ones were done when I was 16-17.

Wow, I don't know many people that don't have their ears pearced!! I have two in each ear, but I don't like to put earrings to both anymore so they'll probably (hopefully!) heal up soon. But I love earrings! I love the big dangly ones! They are my 1# jewellery. I don't like necklaces, bracelets or rings half as much as I like earrings <3

3 piercings.

Both ears and my nose.

I got my ears pierced when I was a couple months old, thank goodness. Got my nosed pierced for my birthday last year.

I dont wear earrings all that much though :/ And at the moment I have a stud for my nose. Oh man, it bled SO much when I got it pierced O_o

I actually just got my ears pierced for the first time 6 weeks ago, and I am 24! I thought I was the only person in the face of the earth without pierced ears - i wore clip ons all the time too, had a pretty nice collection and most people didnt even think my ears werent pierced, Im glad I did it but having to wait 6 weeks to finally start changing the earrings and needing to clean them 3x a day has become more of a pain, although I just went pierced earring shopping for the first time this weekend and that was fun, i think it's going to open up a whole new world of accessories for me :p

I (finally) have pierced ears. Had them done the first time when I was about 14, but they got badly infected - gunky and painful and wouldn't heal - so after 6 months I took out my earrings and let the holes close up. We thought I might be allergic to the earrings, which were silver, so it was a while before I dared to try again.

Had the first set of holes done again when I was 16, this time with gold earrings. They healed just fine, so I had a second set of holes done about a year later. Almost exactly actually - a jeweller's in town had ear piercing in their January sale! :laugh:

Had my belly button pierced when I was 18. Also have two tats, but that's another thread. ;)
