It's been several years since Hinckley gave his famous discourse on earrings and tattoos. It was a big deal at the time. Faithful women removed their surplus earrings. Men removed any earrings and covered their tattoos. I haven't heard much about it recently. Are we to assume it was only his opinion? Elder Bednar did speak a while back about a guy who dumped his girlfriend because she had multiple earrings. but I don't know if it was ever officially voted on.
Voting has never been the sign of established doctrine. Publication is.

Oh no, the tattoo and earring ban are still very much church doctrine. But after listening to Elder Hales' talk I came to the conclusion that nose rings must be perfectly okay. I mean, why else would Elder Hales be wearing a nose ring himself, if there was something wrong with them?
As youngsters growing up in Southeastern Idaho, we were all familiar with the oft-heard phrase: 'If she smokes, she pokes." If a girl was so wanton as to smoke tobacco, obviously she was easy to get in the sack. Duh.
So maybe we should update the phrase for those modern-day whorish sluts who poke extra holes in their ears:
'If she pokes, she pokes'
Yeah, that sounds catchy...

I guess in my younger years I never thought about it. Of course, I wasn't really a Mormon at the time and would just go to a bar or club when I wanted to hook up. I still think back tats on women are hot though so I guess I'm very un-Mormon in that sense still.
"You lack vision, but I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night.... Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see. My God, it'll be beautiful." -- Judge Doom
