Not necessarilyYeah, but if I take out the earring I would still see the hole
Eventually they would close up like they were never there
Not necessarily. I didn’t wear earrings in my second holes for a decade and they were still there, plain as day.
This is very much depedent on the individual. I have piercings I haven't worn anything in for decades, and the holes are still there - both visible and able to wear earrings in. Once I have a piercing that heals, it never goes away, even if I go a decade without wearing anything in it. I understand that others are different, but even so, it is rare for the evidence of the piercing to ever go away completely, even if the hole heals back together on the inside. IMO, it is inadvisable to get a piercings and then depend on them to later "close up like they were never there" unless one already knows their body heals that way.
They will still close up eventually its just a question of how visible they will be when they do
I think it also depends on the earrings… and where.
I’ve had mine fully closed (to be fair I always use tiny dainty ones) and I’ve since branched out to ones where the holes are a teeny bit bigger to support bigger pieces… but the biggest I have is about 1 cm to maybe 1/2 of inch… haven’t allowed those to close… but I still use clear plugs because I’m afraid they’ll close when doing MRIs, PET/CT scans.

You need to look at the "architecture" of your ear and see what would balance its shape, and flatter your face! And think about whether you want the piercing to be seen from the front or the side.
For the practical side, I still advise you to avoid piercings whose tip would arrive too close to the hollow behind the ear (because it is uncomfortable on the long term, and not easy to clean!)
Finally, for the choice of the jewel, try to take something of passe-partout, because you will have to wear it continuously during rather a long time (sometimes more than one year, according to the place of the piercing) so it has to go with your other pieces!

I have 6 on my right ear- tragus, flat, conch, and three lobes. I didn't use most of my lobe piercings because the second and third were uneven in a bad way from having them pierced with a gun in the 90s. I actually had my piercer redo my second lobe so technically I have 4 lobes (one is hidden by my earring) and now the spacing of the three is much more aesthetically pleasing. I had the conch and flat done late 2022, and tragus done a few months prior to that.
I have 7 on my left ear- triple forward helix done in 2018, triple lobe, and a helix. I plan on adding a daith and low helix once I hit the 9 month mark for my current healing piercings and will hopefully be able to sleep on my right ear then. I have become a bit obsessed with earrings- bvla, Maria tash, junipuur, pupil hall. I settled on a yellow gold theme with tanzanite and rhodolite with some diamonds.

Here goes- realized it is really hard to take ear photos lol. Also- my right ear looks a bit angry but I'm not having any problems with healing. My skin is sensitive so maybe just moving the earring for photo positioning caused some irritation. My 1st lobe piercings are going to be replaced with a bvla Alana with rhodolite center and sandblasted rhodolite flanking gems on the right and a pupil hall 1000% rhodolite pear with chain on left. I also have a beaded marquise rhodolite from bvla on its way to me for the lowest forward helix.
