One in each earlobe for me. A lot of these piercings look so random and not thought out well. My body is my temple.
I have found some great suppliers of flat backed push or screw piercings on Etsy. In five short months I have amassed quite a collection! Lol
Can you share?
Absolutely, as long as that is okay. Know that I wanted simple and small and not crazy expensive. I also do not work with any of these people or get any sort of kickback, I’ve just ordered from them and been pleased with the experience and product. I also needed 5mm so that greatly reduced my options.
They are all from Etsy.

The links are from Etsy but I posted the names so you can search for them if you don’t trust sketchy links from randos on the internet (wise).

Only the set of one in each ear for me. My ears were angry and rebellious when I had them done, and I had such a bad time healing that I never even considered additional piercings. I do, however, like the look of tiny gold studs trailing up the ear, so I'll just continue to sit back and enjoy everyone else's ear-rangements from afar.
PLIERS OMGI had the same experience when my ears were pierced! At one point my parents even had to use pliers for pull them out. It was awful. Once they finally did heal, I could only wear 14k gold in them or they would get inflamed. As an 8 year old, my mom was not thrilled with replacing my pricey gold earrings every time I inevitably lost them, so at some point I stopped wearing earrings all together. Then as a teen I tried again with no luck. A blessing in disguise since my piercings never got torn or stretched from all those heavy earrings in the eighties. I was actually surprised in my mid-late twenties that my piercings hadn’t closed and now I have a small collection of earrings (though my holes are definitely small and some earrings with thicker posts are uncomfortable). I really like the look of multiple piercings and have toyed with the idea of adding more, but that brutal recovery is seared in my brain.
