I am 57 and though I have 3 in my left ear and 2 in my right, I only wear one pair of earrings and am sorry now that I had the extra holes done.

You should do whatever you like, but remember that the holes are permanent and you may not want them some day.

When I was in high school I wanted to have a second piercing and my mom would not let me. Now, I am thankful to her for not giving me permission to do it!! Sometimes , less is more... But you should do what makes you happy..

OP, I don't think age matters. You should do what works for your style (and your job's dress code, if there is one). I had my ears double-pierced and just wore simple silver studs in the 2nd hole for years until I lost one, so then I did the 1 earring in one ear and 2 earrings in the other for awhile. I still like the look. I actually want to keep both piercings (I'm 29) but have been too lazy to find good studs for the 2nd holes.
I do have to say although I think ear piercings (and many other piercings) don't have an age limit, a belly button piercing is one that should definitely go once someone gets past college age. Just my opinion, of course, and I had one back in the day. :p

Now I wish that I didn't have the extra holes. In my social circle, it is considered déclassé unless you are very young...like 20.

I don't know what social circles would view double-pierced ears as déclassé but I am sure glad that's not mine. That sounds very prohibitive.

Yeah I thought that was strange as well. I don't really even notice if someone has multiple peircings in their ears unless there are a ton. Much less talk about it with my friends.

And since texasgirliegirl says she has multiple peircings in her ears, I wonder if her social circle now views her as déclassé?! Or maybe it's only the people who actually wear earrings in their holes who are considered as such?

Weird.

I'm 40. I used to have 12 holes in each ear when I was in my teens and twentys, but I took most of them out. I now have four holes open in each ear. Most of the time I only use one, but now and then I go wild and use all four!

I'm in my early 20s and I once felt that I was already too old for multiple piercings but something inside me still loves them. I got my second lobes when I was 17, one upper cartilage at 22, and one tragus at 23. If I don't get them now, I feel like I'll definitely feel too old for them later on. I've seen women in their 50s rocking multiple piercings and I think they are very pretty with dainty earrings. I say, do whatever you want because you can't please everyone either way.

I have two earlobe piercings on each ear and three cartilage piercings in my left ear. If I had it to do over again, I'd stick with one lobe piercing in each ear and nothing more.

You people just need to get over yourselves.
I was not personally passing judgement on anybody here but it seems as if some of you are.
If you don't understand that certain older segments of society feel this way about multiple piercings and tattoos, etc you are just being naive.
As I have posted earlier, to each his own.
Why don't you just stop being so mean spirited?

You're welcome.:smile1:
I find it very interesting how defensive some of these posters are becoming over the multiple piercing issue. As I have said, to each his own.
I think that it is as fine to do it (if this is your thing) as it is not to do it.

Around my community, school, etc it would be considered a very radical thing to sport a ton of piercings. It just isn't seen. Within the art community and others, perhaps but not here.

I honestly don't care for the look for myself...I agree that less is more..but the same logic applies to how I dress.

To each his or her own, right?

I only have one hole in each ear myself, just thought it strange that your circle actually discussed it being déclassé. YMMV.

I don't need to get over myself. Thanks for the suggestion though!
