On my left ear: 3 on the lobe + 1 on the cartilage
On my right year: just 2 on the lobe
Since I settled down and became a mom, I only wear one diamond stud on each ear. Other than the cartilage piercing, the other ones are still visible and open (a stark reminder of my wilder youth)
Two in each ear, but I very rarely ever wear anything in the top holes.. in fact, I''m not a big earring wearer but I''ve recently acquired a pair of diamond studs and a pair of pearl studs that have given me an excuse to decorate my ears again. Used to have my cartilage done but I let it grow up because it was too hard to sleep on. I also used to have my bellybutton done, but got it done when I was 18 and going through a rebellious stage. I let it grow up shortly after. Little sis has her tragus pierced
