have earlobes pierced twice and right ear has a cartilage piercing. I also have a "hood" piercing that I have kept in through all 3 pregnancies=) Used to have my nose pierced, as well as my tragus, my tongue and my belly button! My body rejected all of those so I didn't keep them very long unfortunately! Oh well...it was time to look the part of a mommy I suppose!

I had 2 in each earlobe and 2 in each cartilage as well as a bellybutton piercing. My body rejected them all in the same week when I was 17 so now I have a scar where my bellybutton piercing was and have lumps on the back of my ears from the cartilage ones (forgot the medical name for it and they make me so self conscious that I don't like wearing my hair up because they look so gross)

I had an industrial piercing in college and the "earring" for it was this cool lightning bolt. After college, I slept on it wrong for a couple of days and it was hurting, so I took it out and then just never put it back in.

I'm so out of touch I had to look up what some of these even mean!
I just have one hole in each earlobe. I got a second hole in college and they got really infected and nasty and left a pretty bad scar on the back of my earlobes- cured me of ever wanting to pierce anything else!
I really wanted my belly button pierced in high school but by the time I was old enough to do it without my parents permission I was over it, and had been fed horror stories about bb piercings and pregnancy (which I now believe were very exaggerated to deter me from doing it!).

I have two piercings in both of my ears. I had my belly button pierced, but it tore while I was pregnant and has now healed.

I got my ear lobes pierced when I was 13 (my mom made me wait until the). And I got my tongue pierced when I was 18. People are always surprised that I've got my tongue pireced, especially as a professional in my thirties and, now, a mom. But I like it, so I keep it.

I currently have a hole in each lobe and my nose pierced. I used to have second holes in my lobes, but they never healed right and are probably closed, I also had a cartilege piercing and I had my hood pierced until I had to take all my jewelry out For my c-section.
We need a tattoo thred now!

I don't know what/where all these piercings are! I have 2 in each lobe and they are all closed due to allergic reactions to metals. Had a friend pierce the ear cartilage and that didn't last long. It looked dumb.

I've had both my ears pierced, an industrial piercing, both nipples, my nose, and my tongue.
Now I only still have my ears pierced (never wear earrings though) and my nose.

@Foodnerd81: you're not the only one! I thought I was super bad-ass when I got my cartilage, then my belly button pierced while my parents were away when I was 17 or 18!
i ditched the cartilage for a skating competition in college (coach said I had to), and the belly button when I met my husband (he teased me about it)....I don't even know if my second love piercings are still open! Boring, boring, boring!

Ears, tragus, industrial and nose! I'm had a year where I had a lot of X-rays and MRI's done and the tragus and industrial closed up after being out too long still have my ears and nose though and love both!

2 in each earlobe, but one set has healed over. I had my nose pierced until 3 years ago- took out the stud to change it, and I could never get it back in again. It swelled and was healed by the next day (sad).

@wrkbrk: @Synchronicity: Where do you guys get your tragus jewelry? I have a labret style stud in it now and debate something similar or a tiny hoop. But then I have to go to a piercer to have it changed.

@LindsayInNY: Yup a piercing place unfortunately. I had to order my stud and it took like four months to get it in! Sometimes etsy has some stuff that could work.

I had 3 in left ear plus cartilage and two in right ear. I also had my tragus done but it only lasted a few months before getting infected. I had my rook done which I loved but took it out when I became a mom for some reason. I miss it. I also took out my belly button piercing when I was pregnant.
All that I have now are two regular ear lobe piercings and I always wear the same small diamond studs.

@LindsayInNY: I had the piercer change mine for me, and bought the stud from them. I wasn't confident enough to change it myself initially, and I haven't changed it since.

I just want to say that i don't know what some of these piercings are, LOL.
I have two earlobe piercings, an auricle piercing (middle side of ear), and two closed piercings--my naval and a cartilage piercing. I kept getting irritated and ugly keloids

Earlobes x2, cartilage and belly button. Only wear earrings in my first ear piercing.

I had 3 in my earlobes, 3 cartilage and tragus. I only wear 2 in my earlobes and my tragus now.
I had a belly button piercing but took it out a few years ago. I pierced my nose in high school (some friends and I did it ourselves in the bathroom..... bad idea!!), and took that out about 5 years ago.

Just earlobes! I had 3 in each, but let 2 of the holes close up in each ear after my wedding/starting grad school. I was just sick of dealing with multiple earrings in each ear.

I have had 3 holes in one ear and 2 in the other. I had my belly button pierced at 16 and my nose pierced at 18 and again at 20.
Currently I've removed all of them and just have 1 hole in each ear.

Both earlobes, and I wear earrings a few times a week. I had my belly button done when I was 18 and there is still a hole/scar, despite the fact that I took it out by 20. I totally regret the BB piercing....mostly because when I look at it I'm reminded of the person I was with when I did it, and that's not a happy memory.
