yes, two piercing, top one always has Amsterdam diamonds that I rewarded myself with 21 years ago when I quit smoking .. quite an accomplishment since I was smoking 4-5 packs/ day 🚬..it was awesome back then when at restaurant and hostess asked "smoking, or non- smoking?" ... very proud to say non-smoking
I have two holes in each ear (in the '80s, most people had at least 2 in each!!), but I never EVER use the second holes and haven't since the, well, '80s! Chances are my second holes are closed up by now, even though they're still very visible. I only wear earrings in my "main" holes.
I haven't noticed that multiple ear piercings are back in vogue...? Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, and whether it's in style doesn't matter anyway. Like others have said, do what you makes ya happy. It's not that big of a deal to have visible unused pierced holes if time goes by and you stop using them!

OT but that's incredible
congratulations and well-deserved reward!! I think it also serves as a good reminder of your feat.I personally have two piercings on my left ear and only one on my right. I have an earring that looks like the star is hanging off my ear and a mother in my neighborhood actually pointed it out to her daughter and told her to look at "the pretty shooting star." I'm also in NYC so I feel like location makes a huge difference. For me, the most important thing is how you feel about yourself with your piercings.
the only thing that is déclassé is those who judge others and stereotype...especially over something so trivial
^ Sorry. I hear about that with a lot of people, so maybe I'm the weird one. The last time I wore anything in my cartilage piercings was for maybe a day or two 8 years ago (before my DD was born). Before that, I had not worn them for several years. I just tried them the other day because so many people talk about them closing up, but nope. Mine are still just fine and I could wear earrings in them now if I chose to. I wonder why the difference? I always thought that once they were healed, they were permanent (because mine seem to be).

THANK YOU !!!
I also have a naval piercing that I didn't even get till my early 40's (I'm 53 now) which at the time I had rock hard abs so I didn't think age mattered on that issue ... and yes my naval dangle was fine jewelry also not the cheap stuff so I personally thought it was classy ... the piercing has not closed and I keep it cleaned do it won't close - I'm so out of shape now due to surgeries but thst should change again ... and in my mid 50's yes I would wear belly jewelry again - tastefully on the beach or poolside ... not every situation is time for showing
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."
I am asymmetrical as my left ear is double pierced. I did it in college (yes, c. 1986) and thought i was being sooooo rebellious, LOL! I'm a full-time corporate girl and it's never been a problem. Back in the day I used to wear two hoops in my left ear and a large stud in the right (seemed to be the trend with my friends back then), but now I just wear a sterling silver stud in the double piercing or a tiny silver hoop.
OP, do what makes ya happy!!
