I’m not sure about doubles but it does remain a possibility. I haven’t ruled out getting one, or both. I was originally going to get a double in my left ear, but I switched to a cartilage piercing instead.

If you are thinking of a double piercing, I'd get BOTH ears done. I made the mistake of getting only my left ear double pierced. For several years now, I have been wanting to wear two earrings in my right ear, but can't because I don't have my right one double pierced, and I cannot get it done because I need to wear an earring during the healing time, and my career doesn't permit earrings, etc.
This is what made me to become an "advocate" for earrings for men and boys - to make them more acceptable so that we can wear them whenever we want, wherever we want.
Always remember that right now, even though you have both ears pierced, you can always wear just an earring in your left ear, and have the one earring look, right? Even though you have a hole in your right ear!

I can’t believe it’s almost a year now since I got my earlobes pierced, but I’m glad I did as I’ve worn earrings every day since they were pierced and it’s going to stay that way. I normally wear small gold studs (the ones in my photo) simply as I think they suit me best, but I have quite a lot of others.
This is what I hear most guys saying, that once they have their ears pierced, they are glad they did it. Many guys also say they wish they had gotten their ears pierced sooner, and feel they missed out on wearing earrings more because they didn't. This is usually caused from being apprehensive about getting their ears pierced. Once they get over the "hurdle" and get them done, they see that there is really nothing to be concerned about.
I think guys should wear their earrings all the time, because by doing this, we are increasing popularity of earrings for guys. If we go around with nothing in our ears, this does not make earrings for guys more acceptable. And we need to wear neat, dignified looking earrings in order to do this.
The gold studs you wear are a GREAT choice - they look very nice on you, and give a clean, neat appearance. They are not too large for your ears or your face.
I am a moderator of two groups on Yahoo that promote earrings for men and boys. We would be glad to have you join us. You can find us at:
groups.yahoo.com/groups/ear_piercing_for_men
groups.yahoo.com/groups/ear_piercing_for_boys
I feel you would be a great asset to our groups, as you have had great success with your earrings.

I’d appreciate any comments on my earrings or what people think I should wear. I would also be interested to hear what people think about (a) double piercing(s) on me.
Perhaps you can post up some more pics on here with you wearing different kinds of earrings. Hoops or other kinds of studs, such as silver studs, cz studs, etc.
I think double piercings will look good on you because of the shape of your ears, and you have the space for them. You can get more creative with two holes than with one, as you can wear two different kinds of studs, a hoop and a stud, or two hoops of different sizes. I would not go for triples, I think that would overpower your ears. Especially since you have the top of your left ear pierced now.
The human body is no different than decorating a house - you can underdo it or overdo it. There is a "comfort zone" that everyone has, and it varies with person to person.
Congratulations on being pierced for a year, and lets keep on wearing our earrings!
