I don’t like it and don’t wear earrings in my extra holes, but if you do, go for it. Please yourself. No one really cares.

DD who is now 16 is asking to get a second piercing and its totally out of the question because I think it looks trashy, and I totally regret ever doing it.

Interesting. I’m past 50 and stopped wearing the extra earrings probably when I was in my 30s, though I basically stopped wearing any earrings in any holes for a long time. I’m not a fan of multiple piercings on older women, I think it looks ageing.

BUT, my 19 year old got second piercings and I had not issue with it. That’s when I got my seconds and at some point I got a third in my left ear.

I guess I only think it looks a little trashy/hard on older women but I don’t judge anyone for wearing them, it’s just not for me. But for the young, enjoy it!

I only wore the second studs in the late 90s (end of high school for me) I keep hoping they'll close, but they don't. I've even considered having them surgically closed, but luckily you can barely see them... Unfortunately, I still know they are there. Please don't do it!!!

Offering a different perspective - I don’t wear earrings in the extra holes, but I love seeing the indent of the unused hole, it hints at a fun youth. I feel the same when I see other people with ear indents from having pierced ears in their youth [especially men] - they were edgy once! Hard to think something as tame as piercing an ear was edgy but that was the 80s/90s

I got a second hole at 39 and love it! I debated for awhile but am so glad I did. It’s really not a big deal and looks great.

I think this thread shows that a lot of people care, but by in the world you would care about the opinions of rude strangers on the internet when you want to do something harmless is beyond me.
