I have just had my hair cut short and I love it. So I went and had another hole put in my ears. So I now have two in each ear. Again which I love.
I was a bit worried about this as I am 44. Not sure that’s the sort of thing a 44 year old women should do but I love it. Can’t wait till I can get some new ones to put in.

Just out of interest. How many holes do u have in each ear. I really want to get a third. But do u have a third in both or in just one.

Each ear obviously. Ugh. Missed that typo

I only have one hole in each but my sister, who is 43, has three in each ear. She often wears three pairs of earrings that are the same design but graded in size. I don't think three holes is unusual so go for it if you want them!

RyanBergarasTeeth · 14/08/2020 19:08

I had 4 each now 3 each. My mother in her 50s has 3 in each ear.

fucknuckle · 14/08/2020 19:08

i have 1 in each ear.

but then i have 3 rings in my nose and 3 in my lower lip so it’s all relative. i’m 47.

What about getting something like your tragus done instead of adding a third one to your lobe?

I have 2 in each lobe and 1 in my tragus, and I love it!

PollyPelargonium52 · 14/08/2020 19:11

Two in my left ear lobe and one in my right.

IlovecatsyesIdo · 14/08/2020 19:11

I have 1 in each ear but would really like 3 in each and I’m around your age!

Can I ask where you had them done?
I had my original piercings done when I was 11 and it was with a gun in a department store but I have heard some people don’t like this method now.

PawPatrolMakesMeDrink · 14/08/2020 19:11

One in each ear and one in my nose.
My best mate, also 35 has multiple ear piercings all the way up her ear from top to bottom.

Bargebill19 · 14/08/2020 19:12

One in each ear. But I do wear ear crawler and climber earrings. (I’ve been 21 more times than I’ve had hot dinners!)

PawPatrolMakesMeDrink · 14/08/2020 19:12

@IlovecatsyesIdo go to a professional body piercer, they’ll do it with a needle, which is much safer if you’re having a cartilage piercing.

roundtwotooto · 14/08/2020 19:13

Yes get something more interesting than just more lobe holes

toomanyplants · 14/08/2020 19:14

I have 3 in 1 ear lobe and 2 in the other, and a tragus (?)
And I'm 45

vanillandhoney · 14/08/2020 19:14

Three in each earlobe, plus two in my right cartilage.

KedsAndTubeSocks · 14/08/2020 19:14

5 & 2 all in the lobes. I want a helix piercing on the side with only 2, but I'm a wuss.
I'm 47.

IlovecatsyesIdo · 14/08/2020 19:15

@PawPatrolMakesMeDrink - Thank you!

ChunkyKnit · 14/08/2020 19:15

None.

MonkeysAllGoWoo · 14/08/2020 19:16

I'm 33 and just before lockdown had a second hole redone. I won't take them out before I die. I also have the bits of my ear next to my head (I think Tragus and the bit above that) and had the top of my ear but took it out. When it's safer I will get two in the top of my ear and maybe my nose.

To sum up, you're fine! Grin

Shufflebumnessie · 14/08/2020 19:16

I had my first piercing done at 12, second one at 16. I'm now 41 and love wearing 2 earrings in each ear.

BarefootHippieChick · 14/08/2020 19:16

Two in each ear plus helix piercings, and I'm 40-something

M0nstermunch · 14/08/2020 19:17

2 in each lobe and 1 helix, so 5 and Im 43. Definitely go for another if you want it.

indemMUND · 14/08/2020 19:17

15 in one ear, 16 in the other.

AngeloMysterioso · 14/08/2020 19:17

My Mum was in her 50s when she got her lobes pierced a second time... personally I have 3 in each lobe, plus an additional 4 piercings in my left ear and 2 in my right

SydneyCarton · 14/08/2020 19:17

Three in my left lobe and one in my right, I almost always wear sterling silver sleepers in all of them. Original one in each ear piercings were done at a local jewellers almost thirty years ago when I was 13, and the two additional piercings were done in Claire’s when I was at university twenty years ago.

LunaNorth · 14/08/2020 19:19

I’m 46.

I have one in my left ear, two in my right and I wear an ear cuff in my left too.

I did have a nose piercing but I took it out because I kept knocking it.

timtam23 · 14/08/2020 19:19

3 in each lobe and 1 in the cartilage at the top of my R ear. I'm 49
