Botox does help, and I do use it. It involves 30 or so shots distributed all over your head, neck and shoulders. Unlike cosmetic Botox, it doesn't stop your facial expressions if it is done properly. Also, I'm not sure about Angie's friends, but it doesn't hurt that much.</p> <p>Daith piercings are of the center cartilage of the ear. There is no definitive proof that they help migraines, but it doesn't harm anything either. Lots of things have been talked about as helping migraines, including face lifts! It doesn't mean we should run out and do it!</p> <p>Back to the post topic, (sorry, responsible physician took over for a moment). Yes, I like the look. Many people have multiples, and with short hair, I think it's a good way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt/page/2#post-1689532 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 09:50:57 +0000 Astrid 1689532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a plan. And good to hear that you are going to a real piercing studio, it's so much better than getting it done with one of those piercing guns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt/page/2#post-1689529 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 09:43:24 +0000 Deborah 1689529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to share... Chatted with a young colleague who has multiple piercings and asked where I should go to have it done. She jokingly asked me what had inspired me and was I having a mid life crisis lol. It was all in fun and no offence meant or taken. Hmmmm! </p> <p>Anyway she recommended a reputable tattooist / piercing place and I checked out pricing and think I will go ahead soon. I'm going with my gut feeling and think I will just get another earlobe piercing in my left ear (this is the shorter side of my hair cut and the side I sometimes tuck behind my ear:). I'm having a day procedure in 3 weeks (routine colonoscopy) so may do it after that as I think I recall they prefer no jewellery at all and I wouldn't be able to remove the new earring xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt/page/2#post-1689504 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 06:48:53 +0000 rachylou 1689504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I want to know is - since I got mine in high school, but now am 40+ ... Is that like a freebie midlife crisis? Am I good to go? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689501 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 06:30:43 +0000 Cococat 1689501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got multiple piercings in one ear when I was in my early twenties, mostly DIYs, ouch. It looked great with my short spiky blond hair and fit in well with my punk influenced (what I considered to be) rebellious style at the time. I've never been into tattoos so it was a good choice for me. I wore either studs or small hoops that went from small to larger closer to my lobe.</p> <p>I took them out when I was in my 30s and they've never fully grown over. I doubt that I could go there again with the look that I have now.</p> <p>They would definitely suit your style Deborah. I wonder, could you dabble in cuffs before you take the plunge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689473 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 03:37:37 +0000 Deborah 1689473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your thoughts, much appreciated. It's been so long since I had my ears pierced initially that I'm not even sure where to get them done now. It's used to be the pharmacy was where you would go and they used the gun. I'm just thinking of an additional ear lobe piercing. I will check out where to go. We have an excellent tattooist in town so I might enquire there also. I think if I went symmetric and had an extra in each lobe I could choose when I wore warring in both and when I wanted to create an asymmetric look. Will keep you posted:)</p> <p>My only concern now thanks to Anna's link is that maybe I need to re think given it appears I may be in the middle of a mid life crisis </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689462 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 02:57:37 +0000 Gigi 1689462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year I got an extra piercing in one of my earlobes, so I now have two piercings in one ear. I am extremely happy that I did it. I was agonizing over whether to get a second piercing in both ears or just one; I chose to do just one because I wanted something a little different. I am very happy that I went with the one, because it just feels a little less conventional and fun.</p> <p>Sometimes I wish I had more piercings, but I think the further you go up the ear, the more painful they get (?). I also am growing out my hair, so no one generally sees my earrings anyway, unless I put my hair up. But I am open to getting more piercings in the future.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: I am 43.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689391 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 23:08:43 +0000 Echo 1689391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a total of 7 piercings between both ears. I wear one pair of studs in the initial holes, and that's it. The other holes will never close (piercings, once healed, never close for me), but I don't ever use them.</p> <p>I like ear cuffs and the ear creepers - earrings that "climb" up the edge of the ear. There are so many alternatives now to additional piercings.&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, it is your body, and if you are feeling inspired to have an additional piercing or two or three, go for it. I don't think age has a thing to do with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689338 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 21:09:31 +0000 annagybe 1689338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's definitely a thing for the non young uns.</p> <p>Warning salty language </p> <p><a href="http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2015/12/hoop-earrings-plus-multiple-piercings-for-midlife-rebels/" rel="nofollow">http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2.....fe-rebels/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689330 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 20:59:58 +0000 Aziraphale 1689330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it!

It was done with a needle and ice at a party when I was 18. I like the asymmetry of it and usually wear a stud or small hoop in the additional hole.

The photo is not my ear but very similar to what I have and how I style it: usually a simple &nbsp;gold hoop plus a stud like the one shown below (same size as in ear pic) up above. In other words: delicate feminine styling most of the time.</p> <p>I got the cartilage piercing when I was 18 many years ago and I have never regretted it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689260 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 17:54:36 +0000 Adelfa 1689260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I"ll ever get another piercing but I truly love the look on others. Asymmetrical gets my vote FWIW, I just love that. One thing that would be a drawback for me but probably not for you is that it would be one more moving part in putting a look together. I say go for it!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689257 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 17:44:05 +0000 Gaylene 1689257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While you're debating, why not substitute an ear cuff for your studs in one (or both) ear(s)?</p> <p>I prefer a more subdued look like in the first picture, but there are lots of more dramatic cuffs out there.

I still wear earrings in BOTH. </p> <p>However, I'm not that experimentative. I wear a small diamond stud for the top piercing....always have. I don't change that out at all, except for when I wear big &amp; small pearl studs in both. I have a matching set I bought. </p> <p>Until a few years back I used to wear long dangly earrings for the bottom hole and the same diamond stud for the top piercing, like #4. Never looked odd to me! These days I wear bigger diamond studs for the lower piercing and smaller single-stone studs for the piercing above. </p> <p>I say - go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689222 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 16:14:35 +0000 Anonymous 1689222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not something I'd do, but 2 of my DDs have multiple piercings.

I like the look of a second hole in both ears, but you should do what you like best. Doing a hoop in the first hole then a stud in the second always looks nice, or two studs. Especially with short hair it looks great. I have had 3 holes in my ears in both for 20 years had them since I was 13 years old although I rarely use the 3rd hole piercing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689216 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 15:43:34 +0000 MuseumGal 1689216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm about to be 49 and have 2 piercings in my L ear and 4 in my R.&nbsp; I've had them since I was 16 and still love them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689206 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 15:19:42 +0000 K2 1689206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had asymmetrical piercings for years, 3 lobe and 1 cartilage in left ear and single love piercing in other. I got a asymmetrical hair cut about a year ago (like Shevia/Jamie) but then only my right ear showed. I recently had to got another cartilage piercing on that side as I realized how much I enjoyed the little big of edge it provided (even at 52 I still like that) I do a variation of studs and small hoops (hoops in cartilage piercings) mostly because I don't take out my earrings and find other earring difficult to sleep in. I will periodically change up the main earring for the day tho. I don't know if you are thinking of lobe or cartilage, but I highly recommend (for cartilage for sure) that you go to a tattoo/piercing place for that as they use a needle and usually a hoop earring which turns easier. A piercing gun makes a bump behind where it pushes the skin and is I think is harder to heal and more prone to infection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/multiple-ear-piercings-wdyt#post-1689202 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 14:58:06 +0000 Astrid 1689202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really interesting, Angie - I've never heard of that.
