I've had 2 holes in each lobe & 1 cartilage piercing in the left ear for decades. I've been considering getting a second cartilage piercing in the left ear but just can't decide. It's not high on my priority list right now. I never had any trouble with the first one & it didn't hurt. It healed well & I was sleeping on that side within a week. I didn't change the earring until about 3 months though to make sure it was fully healed.

You have exactly what I'm wanting. Except I'd like to do the conch piercing in the right ear.

I have cartilage on the left side and one hole in each lobe. I'm going to get a second hole in each lobe and then try to work up the courage to do the conch.

I love your conch piercing! I want to do that one, but I'm dreading the heal time. How long does it take before you can sleep on that side?
To be honest it took a long time before mine was fully healed. Like 6 months. I used a U shaped neck pillow or you can used a rolled up t-shirt and place the ear in the hole so there was no pressure on the ear when I slept on that side. It was a good 3 months before I can comfortable sleep on that side. Because its so close to the hair line make sure you clean it often because shampoo build up will irritate it even after it fully heals. Good luck to me it was worth it.

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I figured that it would take awhile and that's what I have to build up to dealing with.
Most people worry about the initial pain of the piercing but for me it's the heal time that I'd rather not deal with. But I'll probably eventually deal with it because I really think it's one of the most beautiful ear adornments.
 
I currently have one single in my left ear, and three in my right lobe...
I only ever wear minimalist earrings, I usually wear three of the tiny studs, like the top one seen here... But I fell in love with this U shape earring thar looks like a full circle so that's what I've been wearing this week

I'll post a picture of the three tiny studs when I switch at the weekend

I love these.. Where did you get them?
 
Currently contemplating adding another one to my collection. I love how her (Sofia Richie) ear looks.

I really like this look, though I don't think I personally could do more than 3 or maybe 4 at the most per ear. I think I would just feel uncomfortable (physically) with that much metal in my ears. Love it when I see it on others though.
I feel you. I rarely take mine out so the only thing that changes are the first lobes. To balance things out I will refrain from wearing a necklace and rings so I won't look cluttered. Or sometimes I simply don't wear earrings in my first lobes and let the rest shine hehe. Hey, ya live once.
