How many ear piercings?

[farouk]

@Nancy It really isn't unusual now for grandmothers (great-grandmothers..) to have multiples.

Indeed, I have seen many.

Yes, multiples are pierced in with plenty of confidence from young girls to seniors.

The very wide consensus seems to be, Go for it.

PS: @Nancy There may come a time when the really radical act of avant-garde fashion will be bare earlobes! (such is the custom now for up to multiples for young women to seniors).

Ahhaha...I wouldn't doubt it! Some, IMHO, go too far like when they fork their tongues, or have things inserted under the skin of their foreheads to look like horns! It's like Satan will stop at nothing to bring human beings as far away as possible from the image of God. Sad

Oh I'm sure some ppl go waaay over the top with some types of body piercings...

But ears - in all their potential piercing varieties - are generally rather benign, anyway.

Some ppl still prefer the single classic one each side; but extras in ears, if wished for, are still in a rather benign category. (2c...)

@Jane_Doe22 FYI: Just a thought: it may be that keeping earlobes bare will sometimes be regarded as an act of fashionable, avant-garde minimalism, don't you think? (such is the widespread custom of wearing multiple earrings/studs among wearers of all ages that it is completely mainstream and benign).

One of my grand daughter has about 6 each side...(small graduating diamonds) she seems happy with them at the moment.

If your granddaughter doesn't stretch some of the holes with plugs and is content with keeping fairly light studs/rings in all the holes, she should do fine with them.

(Were you at first a little surprised when you saw she had put in several holes each side?)

 

[farouk]

No, but if he ever forgets his earring and we are in the car he runs back up just to put it in. It is like me and my purse. Can't leave home without it.

Sounds like you are thoroughly accustomed to, and rather like, your husband's earring!

 

[farouk]

My wife had ear rings when a young teenager, but they got torn out in a fight.

Trusting her fighting days are over now also!

 

[farouk]

All 5, or none lol.

I think you must have had the long term habit of keeping all 5 in for long periods sufficiently for them to have become firmly embedded so that now when you put them in they will still fit!

Yes I did. But mostly just studs...nothing heavy! Thank God for that, lol...I would have droopy lobes by now if I did wear the heavy earrings! :O

Yes, while the wedding style shoulder hugger pendants may be nice for a short time, in the long term gravity takes its toll on the earlobes, right?

Whereas like you said, good reliable studs - whether singles or multiples - worn for long enough periods are more likely to do the job well of making the holes really permanent so that they don't need to be re-pierced.

 

[farouk]

Some, IMHO, go too far like when they fork their tongues...

Oh, forked tongues...they are far worse - and far less widespread - than having a stud inserted. (But I guess we are getting away from ears, which can of course be done tastefully up to several times, I guess.)

Kind of triumphantly exquisite for a maturing young woman...

(I guess no sign so far of any more of any variety planned after this 6th pair?)

 

[farouk]

I have worn them for so many decades now..I don't even remember that I have them.

It's like they are part of you, right?

 

[farouk]

@"ByGrace" It's just that when one has worn them for so long and for whatever reason they are removed for a while, it can feel like one is not really dressed properly; it feels rather 'bare', without them in. (Maybe you have had this experience also?)

I used to feel like that when I wore a watch. lol.

You would also probably say that - when you put them all in - multiples feel natural, right?

I wear them rarely anymore so, couldn't say. lol.
