I have one hole in each ear.
But I have had my ears pierced 7 times.
Even after wearing earrings daily for 10 years, if went two weeks without earrings, they would close over completely.
I had them done for the 7th time this past summer, they had been grown over for about 3 years. Mostly because I missed wearing some of the lovely earrings I have collected over the years.
I also like whimsical earrings. I bought myself a cat and mouse pair a couple weeks ago. One is a wire cat the other the mouse.
