How many ear piercings can you get at one time i was planning on getting five piercings total three on my right and two on my left. i was going to buy those individual piercing gun things...?

Dont waste your money on the piercing gun thingies, go see a professional piercer and get the piercings laid out the way you want them to look. those piercing gun kits are generally made of cheap low grade metal studs and the layer effect cant be done with them the way the gun is designed. Maximum piercings is 3 in one day, any more and the body is taxed too much. Do one ear one day then the other a couple of days later. Check with you local body piercing studio, they will often work out package deals for multiple piercings.
