I have one piercing in each ear. This was done when I was about 5 yo, and of course my earlobes grew when I grew. I think the piercings are a bit too high up for my fat connected earlobes, even tho they are centered.
Some dangle earrings just don't dangle because the rings are flush up against my lobe when they should be dangling freely below the lobe. These are the times when I consider getting another piercing just a bit lower...

I have three on the left and one on the right. The two extra piercings on the left were done when I was about 14 and incredibly silly! I do not wear earrings in the "extra" two piercings any longer. I think at my age (early 30's) its a little too much!
I have 2 piercings in each ear, but I haven't worn earrings in the top holes in years! I wish they'd just close up already.
eeek! i think i beat everyone... i've got 4 on my left ear: ive got 2 on the lobe, and 2 upper cartilage (i wear small hoop earings) and on my right ive got 6: 2 on the lobe, 2 middle cartilage (i wear small studs) and one industrial
and yes i have all 10 holds filled

oh who cares what they think?! it was so cool back in the day to have a ton of piercings in each ear! sadly for me, my mom had my ears pierced when i was two weeks old (
) and so when high school came around for me, my piercing was so high that when i got the second one it looked SO stupid because it was lower on my lobe than the 1st one if that makes any sense to you. so i took it out about a day after getting it, and so i just have one....now, if only i hadn't had my nose pierced and didn't have that scar....grrrI used to have 4 in each ear when I was in HS, but let them all close up except for the ones on my earlobe which I've had since I was 10. I wear diamond studs daily and am thinking about getting a 2nd hole. I want to put my diamond studs in the 2nd hold and put diamond hoops in the first.
I think 4 is okay (2 in each lobe), but any more is crazy-- in the lobe, I'm not counting the top of the ear cartilge or the tragus or anything like that. I'm talking strictly lobes. I would hesitate to call it "trashy" because to each his own. If you have a great pair of earrings, you only need two holes (one in each lobe).
I have had 4 holes (2 in each ear) for many years and I rarely bother to wear earrings in the second hole. Also, whether it is your first piercing or your fifteenth make sure the piercer is not an idiot and double-triple-QUADRUPLE check the little marks they make on your lobes before piercing.
I can't remember my first ear piercing or my second set of holes, but I know I didn't bother to check, I just trusted the piercer. Big mistake.
I found out there was a problem one night when, on a whim, I decided to get a third set of ear holes with my friend. The piercer did her ears, then I got in the chair. She studied my lobes and said she refused to pierce my ears. I asked why and she said it was because whoever did my second set of holes did a sucky job and they were very uneven. She said a third set of holes would just accentuate the uneven-ness!
I never even noticed it before! But then I really looked in the mirror and saw they were indeed crooked. It didn't crush my world, because as I said, I rarely wore earrings in my second set of holes. Now, I never wear earrings in that second set of holes. The asymmetry is glaring, now that I know it's there.
I am just posting this as a warning to people to be really vigilant when/if you get it done, especially if you do it in the friggin mall. Too often we just trust the piercer when they are doing something so "easy" as an earlobe. That was my mistake and I have lopsided piercings to show for it.

two lobe piercings in each ear along with a conch piercing in right ear.
I had 3 in each lobe but now I prefer just to wear the 1. I also have tragus and forward helix in left ear, and rook on right ear
