Some for religious reasons, some for professional reasons. Sailors ( able bodied seamen "baptised sailors" ) would get there ear pierced once they had sailed the seven seas and crossed the cape safely, this was done as an offering and a sign to Neptune, should this sailor ever be in danger at sea the ear piercing was to be a sign to Neptune that this sole should be kept safe and delivered from harm at sea. Other than those reasons who knows.......
