How many earrings do you wear?

I have two ears, so I wear one piercing per ear.    I'm not putting down more piercings at all, but for me personally, the look is just too busy. 

I also have one in each ear, i dabbled about wheather to get a eyebrow piercing a few years ago but in the end i descided not too.

This was my post orginally, before the mix up on the boards with my user name.

I also wear just one pair of earrings, although I have seen people, particularily women, who wear more than one pair of earrings and they look very fashionable with several earrings, assuming they are the right earrings and not too large or clunky. Then they can become "too busy" looking, as Anne stated.

I also like the look of a small nosestud on a lady. My ex-wife wears a small nosestud in her left nostril. My 16 year old daughter wants to get one of her nostrils pierced also, but my ex-wife and myself told her to wait until she is 18, then she can do that if she wants.

I see all kinds of women these days, including professional women, who wear a nosestud or a small nosering. It is not as common as pierced ears, but it is much more common than it was years ago.

I don't care for noserings on men. Earrings look fine on men or women, but noserings are too feminine, to me they only look good on women.

I wear 2 earrings in each ear. On the bottom I wear a little longer  than a stud and the other hole I wear a stud. My elderly aunt who also has 2 earrings in each ear show my that is a good way to show the earrings. She told me that was the fashionable way to wear earrings.Sometimes I wear 2 studs in each ear. I am planning to get another 2 mores holes in my ears.ragdollragdoll2007-08-16 15:04:29

i wear 3 in my right ear; small studs on the top 2, hoops on the bottom. on my left ear i have 2 lobe piercings and a tragus piercing. i wear a small star stud in the tragus.

I have nine (9) holes in each ear.  They start on the top in the cartilage and down to the original hole in the lobe.  I wear small to large gold hoops and hang gold charms from each hoop.  On the lower four (4) holes I also wear pearl or gold studs.  In all I have 22 things on each ear.   People say it looks good...different but fancy.   I also have a monroe piercing in my lip and wear a gold ball.  I also have rings on all my fingers, up to eight (8) bracelets on each arm, anklets on each ankle and two (2) toe rings on each foot.   I'm unique for an American California surfer chick.  I only wish I had more body parts!!!     

O_O  That's a lot of metal!

I think that if more than one earing is to be used, one should defintly be the focus, you know like a dangly one and a stud...I personally don't like the look but if you're going with it, I think that enforces balance. 

one in each ear, but will no doubt be joined by other metal in time.

One earring per ear; although I wore two in the left lobe for about 10 years.  I'm looking for some small gold hoops that will be comfortable to sleep in.  Any ideas from anyone, please?

Hi Strawberryfine....I sleep in my hoops - all 18 of them.  I use gold 'continuous' hoops. They are hollow and light weight.  The wire that goes through the ear hole   - goes into the hoop opening in back.  There are no fixtures to cause any poking.  Depending on the size, they are usually reasonally priced. I have them in all sizes starting at the top of my ear with the smallest down to the lobe with a thicker medium size. SeaSiren2006-09-19 23:30:44

I have always wanted pierced ears.  My new wife i thought was into mens ears being pierced, but noooo!!1 I would love to be able to have 4 holes.

I see no reason why you couldn't have four holes.  It doesn't bother me at all if men have multiple piercings.  You might get some odd looks if you wear fancy chandeliers, though ^_^; . . . but if you keep it simple like studs or hoops, I don't think anyone will cause a fuss.

I want to have two emerald earrings and two small hoops. I would probably never want to change them. My birthstone is emerald and hoops are cute.

I just can't understand why women have the corner on beauty. Earrings, hair, even a little makeup would make me look better. I am not gay or anything, but I have  astrong feminine side, but don't understand why it has to be feminine to want my hauir to look nice and have some jewelry.

I like earrings on men also. My boyfriend has pierced ears and wears an earring in each ear.
I have pierced ears and a pierced left nostril. I wear just one pair of earrings and a small stud or ring in my nostril.

Masculine men can wear ear rings....my very macho boyfriend has about 12 gold hoops (6 holes w/dbl hoops) in his lower left ear.  He also has hair down to his butt.  He doesn't wear any other jewelry due to the safety issue with his profession.   I always think of the 'Old School Italians" and their perfect hair, flashy clothes and lots of jewelry.    Nothing sissy about them.  Elvis was into make-up, hair dye, flashy clothes and of course, tons of jewelry.    Like women - men should wear whatever they want.  It's the strength inside that makes man. 

I hope your boyfriend realized how rare you are. Maybe I just attract the wrong kind of woman, but the ones I know are all pretty much male is male and feminine side is off limits.

Why do you consider earrings to just be feminine? Men have worn them for centuries.

I DON'T. But she does. Men have short tapered hair and no facial hair.  women have earrings, longer hair and let's face it, in my estimation all the fun, which she doesn't approve of. She painted my toenails one night after a liitle too much wine. I loved it, and the color was nice.  She wanted it off the next morning. i left it on and she was not happy. Same thing when she has set my hair, when she has a little too much then as soon as we are done, it is done.  I guess i have to keep her in wine. LOL>

 

You apparently live in an isolated area. In many places these days, all kinds of masculine men have long hair or earrings or both. Many feminine women have short hair. Most women wear earrings, but they don't have to if they don't want to. Women wear both skirts and jeans. If a man looks masculine, he will be masculine no matter his hair length. The same with a woman. Many ladies look feminine with short hair. Hair length has nothing to do with it. Most women are feminine. Carolredskirt2006-10-10 17:14:39

I've seen very feminine  bald women - cancer survivors.  And very masculine men who can sit on their hair.  Hair, jewelry, fashion......it's not important.  It's 'what's inside' that counts.  And which set of X-chromosomes one is born with....Be true to yourself.  Be happy.

There are many beautiful bald women with alopecia. I should know, I am bald with alopecia universalis myself, and have been since childhood (I'm 36 nowadays). I usually wear wigs and scarves in public, but often go bald at home with my fiancee and my children. When I do go bald in public, if I have my makeup on, earrings, and am dressed feminine, I get various looks, some better than others, but I also get compliments.
