Thought this could be an interesting thread. How many earring holes do youhave in your ears?

I have 6 on my right side and I plan to get another one on that side, a tragus. And I have 4 on the left side. Here is a tragus piercing for those unfamiliar with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragus_piercing

For a long time I stopped wearing earring except in my cartilage (I think the tech. name is helix) because almost all jewelry caused a reaction except there. But last night I bought some small studs and so far no reactions. If I continue to have no reaction for the next few weeks then I will go get the tragus.

5 on each ear.
I wear tiny silver rings in the cartilage holes, and weave threader earrings through the other 4.

I would like to have more in my left ear but about 1/2 up I have a large section of cartilage missing out of that ear. Some kind of genetic thing. Thats why most of my holes are in my right ear.

Maybe maybe not. I have not wore rings in my bottom holes in oh 8 years but they were still there when I went to put the rings in.

2 in each ear. I rarely, like probably once or twice a year, wear earrings anymore, but my holes never have closed up.

Two in the left, three in the right. I rarely put earrings in the extra holes, but always wear a pair in the 'normal' holes. When I'm feeling dressy, I'll put diamond studs in the extra holes.

I am conventional and have just one in each ear. Never wanted to pierce my ears. My first bday after DH and I were married, he gave me pierced earrings. I said that my ears weren't pierced. I wore the non-pierced kind. Told him I would only get my ears pierced if he bought me diamond earrings. Well, he inherited 4 lovely diamonds. Got pierced.

I only have one in each ear. had on in my upper helix but that's gone now. Maybe some other time I'll get some more.

I have at least 7 or 8 but I don't really ever wear earrings. About 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend noticed all the holes.
I have had them pierced a lot of times in my life. If I wanted to wear earrings, I know one hole is still open but I think the others have closed.

Sorry I don't have pierced ears. The very rare times I would wear earrings they are clip ons!!
Guess I never got into earrings even though there are some nice ones available.

I have 3 in my right ear, and 2 in the left. I had the one in my top right taken out after a few days as it got a bit painful! But I still have my four other holes for studs/hoops.
