I have attached lobes. They are pierced, but I don't wear earrings very often. I used to wear them with my bellydancing costumes, but even then I'd sometimes have to poke open the holes with a safety pin or something. As I was getting dressed the other morning I noticed that one looked pretty closed up, so I wore earrings to work.

I like having pierced ears, even if I rarely wear earrings. Some occasions/outfits just call for earrings...I did look nice at work.
