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.

47 here - 4 in one and 3 in the other. From long ago. Remember one of my friends doing one of them!
Rarely wear earrings now but very occasionally I will.

DD 15 just got her 3rd in one ear and 4th in the other today - wanted her cartilage but I've said no to that til perhaps 6th form Grin

6 in one ear, 5 in the other

I’m almost 45 and want more

SallyCinnamon3009 · 14/08/2020 19:21

2 in each lobe but hardly wear earings ATM. Then one half way up one ear. I did have a heart in my daith(middle of ear) which I loved but it came out and I just haven't got round to getting it re done. Defo gonna be adding lore and got my nose pierced.

ThreeImaginaryBoys · 14/08/2020 19:22

47 with four holes in each ear (ex-goth!). Sometimes I wear none, usually wear two pairs, sometimes all eight. Also have a small nose stud. Go for it, I say!

Silentfrog · 14/08/2020 19:23

I'm in my fifties. I had 2 in one ear and one on the other. I was trying to be rebellious as a teenager 😂
The second piercing has healed but I'm quite tempted to have both ears priced again.
I think it looks good with short hair.

ReiltinDubh · 14/08/2020 19:26

I have 4 lobes in one ear and helix,then 3 lobes in the other and tragus. I'm 37. Love piercings. Going to get forward helix done next. I like the off-balance look of more lobe piercings in one ear, but there's no right or wrong way to do it Smile

Guys ur making me happy. Right. I’m going to get a third one in each ear. It will make my mums eyes roll about I’m too old for it. But hey. Who cares.

Two in the left and one in the right - as was the law in 1980. A friend and I went halves on the second piercing. It cost £3 Smile

Never been inclined to have any more.

Our receptionist has a diamond stud in her chest surrounded by an exquisite tattoo. Absolutely not for me but it looks amazing.

Mojomarvel · 14/08/2020 19:27

I’m 41 and have 1 in each lobe, then my tragus, rook and anti tragus in one ear 😁

heartsonacake · 14/08/2020 19:27

One. I don’t like the look of more than one; it’s not classic and starts to go into “alternative” territory, regardless of age.

rainatnightlove · 14/08/2020 19:28

I have 3 in my lobe on each side, I'm 21 and lots of people my age have multiple in each ear.

BentBastard · 14/08/2020 19:28

I'm 45 and have two in one ear and one in the other. Don't think of myself as two old for it.

I do consider myself two old to redo my closed up belly button piercing though 🙁

RainbowFlowers · 14/08/2020 19:29

I have 3 in each lobe but since I have bog ear lobes (lol) I've got my thirds done to make a triangle rather than next to them.

LouisBalfour · 14/08/2020 19:30

I 2 in one lobe plus a cartilage, and 3 in the other lobe. Have had them for aeons and did 3 of them myself as a teen.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 14/08/2020 19:37

I used to have 3 in one ear and 2 in the other and my navel.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 14/08/2020 19:38

I took my navel piercing out when I was pregnant. I do miss it. But don’t want it redone. My belly isn’t a thing of beauty these days.

cliffdiver · 14/08/2020 19:43

3 in each lobe, but I only wear 2 in each as one of my third holes is very badly placed.

That'll teach me to go to Claire's Accessories at 15 against my parents wishes!

Silentfrog · 14/08/2020 19:44

@StCharlotte yes it was the law in the 80s! I forgot that Blush

GroupSects · 14/08/2020 19:52

3 in each lobe and a low helix in the right ear, booked in for mid helix end of the month in the same ear so will have 5 in that one. Had Daith done previously but it never healed and migrated in the end so took it out and the cartilage is scarred now.

MonkeysAllGoWoo · 14/08/2020 19:52

@StCharlotte my mum has that piercing. I had no idea and always thought it odd! How lovely!

SpeedofaSloth · 14/08/2020 19:56

40s, 2 in each lobe. I have a 3rd piercing in one lobe but the placement is rubbish so I don't use it. I can't seem to get any cartilage piercings to heal and one scarred a bit with a dark mark left permanently there, so I have given up on those.

wheresmyhairytoe · 14/08/2020 19:57

2 in my lobes in each ear, my daith in one ear then tragus and helix in my other.

I'm planning more, I'm also over 40.

skippy67 · 14/08/2020 20:08

2 in each lobe, and a high cartilage in my left. I want to get helix done soon.

WhyDoesItAlways · 14/08/2020 20:22

I'm mid 30's and have 2 in each love and a daith. I have small hoops in the bottoms lobes and small studs in the top lobes with a hoop with a few stones in the daith.

I want to get my tragus done in the opposite ear to the daith but worried as it's so close to where a daith piercing would go it would look accidentally unsymmetrical if that makes sense so think I need to find another piercing to have in the tragus ear to make it look purposefully unsymmetrical.
