Re: Earrings? Why not? God piereces ears!
I fought with God over this issue when He told me to pierce my ears. I thought earrings were going to send you to hell. It took 3 months of praying, research, and a Word of knowledge spoken into my life before I took the plunge.
When I did, I was able to speak into a young man's life who though who committed to a relationship with Christ after realizing God didn't care about his earrings or tattoos. He had to see visible evidence that God was after him, not his jewelry.
I'd pierce my ears again in heartbeat to reach this generation.

I know God's voice when he speaks to me.

Re: Earrings? Why not? God piereces ears!
Tattoos, on the other hand, are a different story, IMO.
"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."
Leviticus 19:28
Not trying to bash anybody here with a tattoo, but this is Scripture.

The purpose of the tattoo is important, consider the context. It is not a stand alone clause it is tied to the previous statement.

Are the cuttings in the flesh and making marks upon you both associated with a reaction for the dead? Or do they refer to two separate and unrelated actions?
Most Bibles I've checked are ambiguous as to whether they are separate except this one:
I forbid you to shave any part of your head or beard or to cut and tattoo yourself as a way of worshiping the dead. CEV

Touche. I don't tell my husband things like, "You are NOT going to do that." However, I can tell you with confidence that my husband will NOT do that, and due in no small part to my input on the matter, should it ever arise. (Highly doubt the possibility anyway.) Just because I put it strongly to you doesn't mean I'll put it to HIM like that. 
I'm afraid I've never read that book....

So, are you saying that it's okay to have tattoos as long as you are not doing it for the dead?
