My Ear piercing

Ear piercing has been practiced all over the world since ancient times, particularly in tribal cultures. There is considerable written and archaeological evidence of the practice. Mummified bodies with pierced ears have been discovered Earrings are also referenced in connection to the Hindu goddess Lakshmi in the Vedas. Among the Tlingit of the Pacific Northwest of America, earrings were a sign of nobility and wealth, as the placement of each earring on a child had to be purchased at an expensive potlatch. Body Piercing in some religions is held to be destructive to the body and in others held as a sacred or spiritual act. Some passages of the Bible have been interpreted as prohibiting body modification because the body is held to be the property of God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taken an official position against piercings unless for medical reasons, also accepting piercings for women as acceptable so long as there is one set of piercings in the lower lobe of the ears and no other place on the body. Wearing of nose rings on the Sabbath is forbidden by the Talmud. Some contemporary Southeast Asian rituals also practice body piercing, as a form of spiritual self-mortification.
