A dermatologist once advised me to wear 24-carat gold earrings, and I would not have an allergic reaction. But 24-carat gold earrings are expensive!

I usually wear 14k gold and I've been ok with that. Nickel is used in a lot of white gold so I avoid it.

That's good that 14 carat gold works for you.

yeah 3 sets of cartilage,tragii,inner conches and the rest are lobes...

I used to work with a girl who had a piercing in the tragus area. It looked good, although I am fearful that it would be more painful to be pierced there than it would be to be pierced on an earlobe.

i'll never forget how hot the body piercer was that pierced my tragii. that helped too. but i'm a big tough bitch so nuthin hurts me...

Left ear, one time, done with a fifth of vodka and a "Vote for Bill Clinton" badge... 'twas awesome!!

2 holes in each. First ones done when I was 6 and the 2nd holes done when I was 13.

I only wore earrings in the 2nd holes for a few months. They've never closed though.

I had my belly-button pierced when I was 19. I loved it, but it wouldn't heal properly, so I took it out. It left me with a nasty scar, which I used to really hate, but then I got pregnant and developed the hugest amount of stretch-marks ever and the belly-button scar is hardly noticeable amongst them

On ears 3 on each side, 2 on the bottom lobe each and 1 each on the top lope. Tongue pieced twice. Nose pieced once. Only ears are permanently opened now, which I like.

Wanted to get my lip pieced for years but it was too emo for me and I’m not 20 no more so decided not to.

I was just gifted a pair of perfect pearls

I had a hoop pierced in the top of my right ear for a few years in the twenty-aughties.

one in the left and 3 in the right. the first set was done professional when I was 17, then one was done by my boyfriend at 19, the last was done by my self the same age. they're all still functional.

I had 3 in each ear. My 1st holes were done when I was a baby of course, my 2nd holes I got between the ages of 7-8 and my 3rd hole I got done twice because it closed up once but when it closed up for the when I was 11 I never got it done again. So now I only have 2 holes in each and I want to go for the industrial...

Pierced or virgin? If pierced, how many piercings... And do you wear dangly, studs or those horrible things that put a permanant huge arse hole in your ear... (You know the ones, those disc thingies ) If not pierced, is it a decision based on fear, or cosmetic looks

i had my ears pierced whe i was 6 months old (that's what my mom tells me), one hole in each ear. in my toddler years i wore studs, in my teens i wore medium sized ear-rings. now that i'm in my twenties, i go for hoops and "doorknockers"

My degenerate aunt took me an had mine pierced when i was 6 week old, i was a big baby so I don't think no questions was asked - and yes my mum did punch her in the eye for that foolishness, however 39 years later the holes are still in my ears and are the only ones.

....I know you probably didn't want to know all dat, but anyways.

Virgin. First I wanted to have them pierced, but I was afraid, mainly of how it would all look like.

Now I don't want it anymore. I don't think I'd look bad, but I simply think I look and feel better like this.

I currently have 4 holes in my left ear lobe, 2 holes in my right ear lobe and a hole in my right tragus. I always wear a ring in the tragus and occasionally wear something in one or both holes in my right ear and up to 3 holes in my left ear, but most of the time I don't wear any.

I also used to have my left tragus pierced and a quarter industrial on my left ear as well with a barbell through it (but I took it out). For those that don't know, a quarter industrial looks like this:

I also currently wear a tiny, tiny rhinestone stud in my nose (left nostril) and a plain silver hoop through my belly button.

Once upon a time I had both of my nipples pierced too, but those are no more.
