Piercings?

[ironheadjack]

I always advise against piercings that can't be covered. I also advise against any gauges. If you try to join the military, they will make you surgically close any gauge holes in your ears if you enlist. Plus, having 33 piercings, and the ability to let the size of a small rat past through a hole in your ear, doesn't look all that appealing.

I knew many guys and gals in the Army who had at least 0 size gauged holes in their ears, and didn't have to get surgery to join.(If you are not familiar with gauge sizes, a 0 is quite a noticeable sized hole) So IDK who told you about forced surgeries.....?


I have many tattoos, both arms and both legs are covered, and currently have 4 earrings. Having all those tattoos including my fingers tattooed, didn't stop me from enlisting in the Army and getting a TS/SCI clearance.

IMO, the prejudice that follows people with tattoos and piercings will slowly wane away, once the younger generation becomes the majority in the workforce, business, education, etc..
