I have 8 ear piercings: 3 three in each lobe, my left tragus, and my right helix pierced. (I eventually want to get my rook and conch pierced on my ears; we'll see!). I normally wear tiny little "diamond" studs in each piercing, except for the bottom lobes. I usually wear very feminine, dangly earrings in those!
Yes, but I now only wear earrings in the 1 set of holes. I went through a punk-rock phase when I was younger, and pierced my ears in several places with a big safety pin. (Don't try this at home, kids!
) I've since let them close up.
When I was 13, Mom wouldn't let me get my ears pierced, "If God wanted you to have holes in your ears, you would've been born with them." (I resisted the impulse to tell her, "If God intended you to drink wine all the time, you would have been born with a wine glass in your hand.") Needless to say, that statement made a rebellious teenager pierce her own ears with a safety pin in her bedroom!
I always wear earrings; even if I wear no other jewelry. I feel naked without them. I usually wear danglers, but have an array of hoops and studs.
