Just kind of shocked me because I thought it was more of a modern day thing to have more than one in each lobe.
No, I was there in the 80s and early 90s. A lot of girls and women had two piercings, the edgy / cool girls had piercings all the way up their ears. Many guys had at least one ear pierced.
When I started seeing younger people with multiple piercings, I was surprised, think of it as a Gen X thing.
