Latter-day prophets strongly discourage the piercing of
the body except for medical purposes. If girls or women
desire to have their ears pierced, they are encouraged to wear
only one pair of modest earrings.
Those who choose to disregard this counsel show a lack
of respect for themselves and for God. They will someday
regret their decision.
The Apostle Paul taught of the significance of our bodies
and the danger of purposefully defiling them: “Know ye not
that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him
shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which
temple ye are” (1 Corinthians 3:16–17).
