2 or more ear piercings

Shall I do this? I have had earrings since I was 10 and wear studs on and off. I find one earring in each earlobe often looks quite boring and not sure if it really suits me.

So, curating earrings (sorry!) and having 2 or more studs, yay, or nay?

Yay! I have quite a few ear piercings, they're a bit wonky but I love them! They're your ears, go for it!

BovrilonToast · 27/06/2022 18:59

Yay. I’ve got five in one and three in the other.

WhenEnoughIsEnough · 27/06/2022 19:02

Go for it, if you don't like it then you can take them out . I have 3 lobe piercings in each ear, a tragus and a daith in both ears and 3 helix in one ear and I love them.

princessbear80 · 27/06/2022 19:10

Yay!
I always had one in each lobe from teens to late thirties. Then I had a second lobe in each, then added one more lobe and a helix on one side, and I’m going to get my rook done on the other. Love them all!

dementedpixie · 27/06/2022 19:13

I have 3 in one and 1 in the other. Quite fancy another in the 1 earring side

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/06/2022 19:34

I have two in one lobe , one in the other + a daith.
The daith is taking ages to heal , I knew it'd be 9+months though.

I'm planning another lobe stud -or two but need to wait till I'm ok to sleep on the daith

duckme · 27/06/2022 19:38

Yay. I think cartilage piercings look fab. I have a one in each ear and two piercings in each lobe. I'm thinking of havi another but can't decide where.

Isabelle70 · 27/06/2022 19:46

Yes go for it! I had my tragus pierced for a milestone birthday.
Have them pierced with a needle rather than a gun.

I am tempted, would two piercings in each earlobe look ok to start with?

2 plus earrings in each lobe is fast becoming the norm. Multiple earrings look really good if you ask me the more ear rings the better. My wife has 9 in one lobe and her Tragus and on the other 3 piercings in her lobe.

Joolsin · 22/08/2022 14:28

I have 3 in one ear and 1 in the other. I love them. I don't change them, though, have kept the same ones for over 30 years, they're just part of me and I would feel weird with different ones.

JudgeRindersMinder · 22/08/2022 14:29

Go for it…I had 1 lobe double and 1 lobe single pierced since I was 14 till earlier this year…now I have 6 in one lobe and 4 in the other <what mid life crisis>😂

MindBodyChocolate · 22/08/2022 19:53

Definitely go for it. There are some nice examples of multiple piercings online for inspiration. I’m in a very traditional profession, dress classically and have 3 in lobes and an planning a couple in helix plus another lobe. It looks great and like a PP when I see single piercings I think ‘why don’t they get more’??!!

lobes with a gun are fine but cartilage should always be done by needle and I’d check reviews too.

Chersfrozenface · 22/08/2022 19:56

I've had 3 in one lobe and 2 in the other since the 1970s.

Gives me somewhere to put the odd earring when I inevitably lose one of a pair, for a start.

Siriusmuggle · 22/08/2022 20:26

Definitely go for it- I’ve got 6 in one ear and 7 in the other (and belly button too). I’d recommend a UKAPP piercer, they’ll also be able to advise on jewellery and curations etc.

Sriv82 · 22/08/2022 22:50

back in April I had both my lobes pierced and if I get time this week I’m going to get my cartilage pierced and maybe another lobe piercing. I have my ears pierced regularly but always take them out but my wife made me keep them in this time and it’s best decision Ivemade I love them hence I’m planning on more

Thighdentitycrisis · 23/08/2022 17:41

I have 2 left and 1 right. That’s all I’ve had since the 80’s. If I want a pair of smart earrings to look more classic, I wear a really minimal gold or silver stud in the odd one.

since seeing this thread I’m thinking about getting some more done, but don’t think I could go for cartilage (too much of a baby!)

twilightcafe · 23/08/2022 17:51

Three in each ear. Getting one more lobe piercing in each ear.

Too 🐔 for cartilage piercings.

Sriv82 · 24/08/2022 14:12

Had my cartilage pierced today it didn’t hurt at all. I love it

Ideasideas · 24/08/2022 14:15

I've recently upgraded from single lobe piercings to double on each lobe plus a helix in 1. Wish I'd done it sooner and currently deciding what to do next as I love it. do it!

AreolaGrande · 24/08/2022 14:20

It's a firm yay from me (and my ears!).

2 or more ear piercings
Atmywitsend29 · 24/08/2022 14:21

Do it!
I have 5 in one ear and 3 lobe piercings in the other (1 is a tunnel tho)

ChunkyLegsandKinderEggs · 24/08/2022 14:23

I have two in each ear. I so rarely wear earrings that I always forget about my second holes! I keep meaning to buy myself some little sleeper hoops to see if I fare better with them.

ChunkyLegsandKinderEggs · 24/08/2022 14:24

@AreolaGrande those look so lovely!

AreolaGrande · 24/08/2022 16:29
