don't know what the dress code is anymore but I wasn't allowed to get my ears pierced. Thats the first thin I did when I left.

My wife, daughter and five year old granddaughter - all JWs - have multiple pierced earrings. Also wear toe rings, many finger rings, and might at times have ring around the collar. Nose rings are still considered a bit too radical by some. Pierced navels - I've seen a few.
There may still be elders somewhere who would give them shit about it - but I think he'd quickly regret it.

Yeah right, Imagine a dub with a tongue ring.

In order to simplify their lives, reduce stress, make more time for field service, and avoid being counseled by the elders because of inappropriate clothing or jewelry, JW's should wear nothing at all.

My exwife, a witness, got her belly pierced. Her PO dad saw it and didn't say anything. Probably talking about her behind her back to the cong, telling them how bad of an example she is and doesn't know where she got it....Oh wait, must be that apostate ex-husband of hers!

Shoot, their own literature used to have illustrations of Biblical-era women wearing nose rings. I'd always planned to use this argument with my 'rents back in the day when I wanted one. I was too chicken to get one then, but I'd get one now.
Though I do have fond memories of a particularly assy JW couple gazing in horror at my tattoo, during one of the last times I attended a convention.....

Hey! I was thinking about getting a piercing this week.
AFAIK I don't think they are as strict about it now with the girls, unless it's on the face. But the guys still can't do it at all.
