We–the
First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve–have taken the
position, and I quote, that "the Church discourages tattoos. It
also discourages the piercing of the body for other than medical purposes,
although it takes no position on the minimal piercing of the ears by
women for one pair of earrings."
(President Gordon B. Hinckley, General Relief Society Meeting, Nov.
CR, 2000) |
