Question

I did my 2nd and 3rd hole myself by the way...

Answer 1

They'll look okay if they're spaced right and you wear nice jewelry. I did all of mine years ago. Just be careful at the thinnest part of the ear, on the side: the cartilage begins at about the middle, where you want the ring, and can tear at the edge! Ouch! Mine healed fine though. I've got five in one, five in the other, and two each of them are cartilage.

Sometimes you won't want to wear them all after they heal, like if you're just going to buy groceries or attend class or something, and there are months that I just don't wear any, or only the upper ones. When I was 19 I got tired of the same old look, so I started buying tiny hoops and rhinestones for the two in each upper ear, and then stretched the bottoms out just a couple of sizes -- like the one in the middle of my lobe was a 4 gauge, and then the two next up were 10 gauge, and the ones above 12 gauge. It looked modern but still really feminine, and since they weren't too big, when I wanted to I just let them shrink up.

I threw in a guage chart in case you're curious what they looked like. Right now my ears are empty and you really can't even tell that I'm pierced: http://www.deserttrends.com/guage.jpg

Answer 2

Hi! i have 9 holes in my right ear, which represents how many are in my family, and 5 holes in my left ear, represents how many times i was pregnant. I also did all but the first 2 holes myself . That is another thing that is personal preference, sometimes i wear tiny silver hoops all the way up in both ears. So i don't think what you have is too much, ears are versatile and can be covered with hair, or taken out if a situation calls for it.

Answer 3

Well, it depends. When I was in nursing school, they only allowed one set of piercings in each ear. More than that, they did not consider professional. But I knew a girl when I switched to my current major, she has piercings from the bottom up to the top of her ears. Some people consider it tacky, other think it's a fashion statement. Personally, I think you are fine, just don't go overboard with more.

Answer 4

once you first get your ears pierced, you may desire to bypass away the jewelry in till your ears are thoroughly healed. This often takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks. in case you do not, your holes ought to p.c. up and you will ought to bypass by each little thing throughout lower back! If i became you i could a minimum of wait a week or so longer before changing them around.

Answer 5

I used to have a friend that had 7 piercings.. and i thought that was way to many.. but no, 3 1/2 is a decent amount.

Answer 6

i have 5 in each ear. i say whatever you're happy with than thats what it should be. (4 lower and 1 in the catillidge)

Answer 7

I have 2 in each lobe, my left upper cartildge and my right tragus pierced and I don't know anyone (who isn't my parents) who said its too much. One day I might pierce one lobe again as 7 is my lucky number, but I haven't decided.

Answer 8

Nope I have five holes, three lower and two cartilage. Really thinking about going for six.

Answer 9

Nah. I have 23 piercings, a good chunk of which are in my ear. I don't think that's too many...

...Then again, you're talkin to a piercer :-P

Answer 10

It all depends on you and what YOU want.... some people think more than 1 is too much... and some people think the sky is the limit. If you want more get more
