Here in the UK we don't really have piercers in mall kiosk type things so will be a tattoo/piercing parlour. There's one with a great reputation where I got my nose pierced, that's friendly etc so will go back there.

miss_eden: Well, sounds like you already have good experience with acquiring holes in tattoo/piercing establishments, anyway.

I have three in one ear and one in the other. I was bored...
PS: Ms as_i_am: Intended/unintended pun on the word 'bored', right? (as in, earlobe bored with an awl).

Actually the practice among women to do 2 or 3 in one ear has been so widespread since around the late 70s, that I wouldn't just link it with boredom, but rather also to good style.

If this makes sense?

Blessings.

Two in each ear. I always wear one pair, I wear a second pair about half of the time. No plans for any more in the future.
Toska:

As a general comment, there is something classy about having the second pair of holes done.

Blessings.

I only have one preference about the number or earrings on a girl.

When a girl runs out of places on her ears to put the earrings... that's a good time to stop.

Okay, so more lighthearted thread:

How many earrings do you prefer, per earlobe?

There is probably a difference between women's and men's preferences, anyway.

Blessings.
Maybe just one...
I'm not a FREAK!

I currently have 2 piercings in each ear lobe, although I'm not wearing any earrings right now. My skin is pretty sensitive and the piercings get irritated really easily. I'd love to get the cartilage in each ear done as well...
So, 4 altogether so far, and wanting more...

The cartilage thing seems to be getting really popular, anyway.

I think the usual one piercing on each ear is fine for WOMEN, but i don't like the idea of parents piercing their baby girls ears, and i definitely don't like men who have piercings...just my opinion

Sounds like you've preferred to limit yourself to putting one through each side; which is fine.

I prefer just 1 per earlobe. I find beauty in simplicity. I have a good memory of getting my ears pierced too: I was 7 years old and my grandmother took me to the mall to buy a dress... she allowed me to have my ears pierced at the same time even though my mom and dad always had said I wasn't allowed to have my ears pierced. Lol. My grandma is cool, and sweet. :) And as a woman of 29, I am very happy with having pierced ears. I think one set of earrings is pretty.

Ms. April: So for you, more is less, right? :)

Nope. But they say it has to do with the same reason some Christians don't believe in tattoos.
But like I said I'm not sure about all that. Everyone has their own opinions on the matter.
Presley: Most Christian women - and some Christian men, too - seem to get along just fine with rings in their ears; sometimes more than one pair. (A lot get tattoos, as well, especially faith based ones...)

Ms. as_i_am:

So are you still 'bored' enough or 'interested' enough (or whatever other word you might want to use) to get more, possibly? :)

Blessings.

Gemmy: It used to be that having one in each ear was the standard; but now - especially since guys often also get earrings - getting doubles in at least one ear seems increasingly to be what many women want and expect. Kind of subjective, but real, anyway.

Recently I got the holy cross earring, which is my birthday gift. Now I have two holes on ear. It is a type of Christian jewelry and sends out a complex message about our faith and trust in Jesus.

Hi there; so you mean you have two holes each side?

Good to see you on the forums.
