Having not been in an LDS temple in more than 2 1/2 decades, can anyone tell me if they have spotted a man with an earring in the temple?

A woman with more than one earring per ear?

Does bucking the earring revelation disqualify one from the temple?

I bet they are glad I'm not a Mormon.

I have 3 in one ear, 2 in the other, plus a nipple piercing.

I'd rarely see anyone young enough in the temple to have any sense of modern fashion. When it comes to youth attending, I know that bishops in my stake would not allow them in the temple for baptisms if they were not compliant with earring and other standards of appearance.

Ouch.

Fortunately, nipple piercings will not keep you out of the temple. They do not yet require a strip search to verify compliance.

It might be interesting for someone heavily pierced to wait until in the temple dressing room to put on all the hardware. Would they kick you out at that point?

I'm thinking of getting at least one, "south of the border", if you know what I mean.

by the way, I'm male.

No, I don't know what you mean. And if spell it out plainly, I still will not understand. My mind is incapable of going there.

Last time I attended the Temple (3 years ago) I did so with 0 gauge tunnels in my ears

You should've seen all the dirty looks I got. After I left the church, my bishop made a remark like "I knew you were on the road to apostasy when I saw those unnecessarily large holes in your ears."

Yeah, screw you too bishop.

I don't know if I would trust Mexicans (or any other Lamanite race) to give me a piercing.

He whole shabang is a stupid arbitrary rule focusing on homogeneity and obedience, creating an emphasis on outward appearances instead of the inner man. A full scale production of whitened sepulchres, alienating a huge subset of peoples.

Well, let's be completely honest here - some old men decided that girls with more than one earring per ear looked slutty. End of story for multiple earrings per ear.
