I'm 41. I used to have three but third closed up years ago. I have now two functional ones. I just do the one hole. Too much metal on my ears makes me nervous as skin is sensitive sometimes! But i do love the 2 holes, with hoops/diamond studs.

I didnt get my ears pierced till I was say 20. Was frowned upon in my religion. Mum was about 50 when she got hers done!

I got my ears pierced at 13 and then pierced the 2nd holes myself at 15 years (I was a little bit rebellious), I haven't worn 2 earings in each ear for eons, I am now 50 and the holes have closed but you can still see a little indentation.

Two holes in each ear are just not me anymore, I guess we all experiment at different stages in our lives and then settle into what suits us.

My ears were pierced when I was 22. I had the second holes done about 5 years later; then I had the bright idea for third holes a few years after that. I quickly decided the three were not my style & let the last close up almost immediately. I occasionally have small studs in the second hole but rarely.
Multiple piercings, tats, etc are not for me, but everyone has a different style & no one should make generalizations because of them.

3 holes in each lobe. I hardly wear earings period. My BFF just got divorced and has mulitples and cartilide and tatts now. Hey two each hers own.

It's a big new trend to have multiple piercings, not only in the ears but in cartilage, tarsals, tongues, lips, eyebrows, etc. Also to wear plugs & stretchers in the earlobe. Where I live there are piercing salons all over the place, and they do big business.

I used to have two holes in one lobe and one hole in the other. A couple of years ago I evened them up and have 2 in both ears. I am seriously tempted to get another piercing, but my friends say "you just want another hole you can stick jewelry in.":laugh:

I have 10 in one ear and 8 in the other. They are all stretched from size 9/16" to 14g.

I started getting them pierced when I was 9 and had them all by the time I was 18 and started stretching them around 18 or 19. I'm 29 now and my love for them has never faded.

I'm a 5th grade special education teacher. I don't wear any plugs that can be seen through when I'm at work, but my stretched, multiple piercings have never caused me any issues at my job.

I'm sure people have passed judgement on them over the years, but that's their problem, not mine. ;) I don't live my life worrying about what others think about my body and how I decorate it with piercings and tattoos.

When i was in hs i had three holes in each ear. I got a tattoo on my ribcage a few days after i turned 18. My first week at college i got my nose pierced, and my belly button done a few weeks later. The last two ear piercings closed in my sophomore year of college. I let the nose one close right before my college graduation by accident (i blew my nose and the stud came out- didnt realize it until a week later. I found the stud in a tissue under my car seat like a year later!!). I took out my belly button ring shortly after my college graduation too. I obviously still have the tat, and i love it, but it needs some touching up!!

I got my ears pierced three times, once when i was a toddler and the next two were when i was 16 and 17. I pierced my belly when i was 18 and kept it for a year before i finally took it out because it was rejecting. I have a scar there now :c and then at 20 i got my nose pierced.
Currently i only wear two studs in both ears and my nose stud. I wanted to pierce my tongue but I think I'm too old for it now plus i wouldn't want my front teeth to be chipped lol

Ears: 4 holes in my left and 2 in my right in my heyday. All closed except the original 2 (in the regular lobe spot on either ear) and the 2nd left piercing, which refuses to throw in the towel. I also have 5 tattoos, each easily hidden except a large one on my upper shoulder. Sometimes I feel it restricts my fashion choices...but now that I'm in my 30s I'm not wild about my upper arms so I usually wear sleeves anyway lol

Note: but I have had a tattoo removed, ouch!
