Earrings are considered a common form of jewelry in the Bible, and there is no condemnation associated with earrings themselves. (Only the desire to adorn oneself with jewelry instead of a beautiful and godly heart, Is. 3 and 1 Pet. 3:3.) In fact, in Ezek. 16 the Lord describes how he treated unfaithful Jerusalem with tenderness and love, dressing her with fine garments and adorning her with all sorts of jewelry, including earrings.
As the winter weather approaches, we all spend a lot of time thinking about preparing for the cold. So while considering the best winter coat or what gloves will do the job of keeping fingers warm and toasty, those of us with body piercings have other considerations to make. One thing we have to keep in mind during the cold weather is protecting our skin; especially the flesh that has a piece of body jewelry through it. One part of caring for your piercing that is often overlooked is the part that only occurs for a couple months out of the year. Unless you spend a lot of times on the slopes, skiing, snowboarding or some other winter game kind-of activity, you may just not know about the biggest threat to your piercing during winter - when Ol' Jack Frost nips at your nose or some other exposed pierced part.
