Piercing of nose or ears for wearing ornaments is forbidden for Sikh men and women." (SRM: Ch. 10, Article 16) Gurbani says: ਜੈਸੇ ਸੀਗਾਰੁ ਕਰੈ ਦੇਹ ਮਾਨੁਖ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਨਕਟੇ ਨਕ ਕੀਕ ॥੩॥ "They may adorn and decorate their bodies, but without the Naam, they look like their noses have been cut off. ||3||" (Ang 1336) ਮਾਨੁਖੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਬੂਝੇ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਆਇਆ ॥ ਅਨਿਕ ਸਾਜ ਸੀਗਾਰ ਬਹੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਜਿਉ ਮਿਰਤਕੁ ਓਢਾਇਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ "Without understanding (the value of human life), his coming into the world is useless. He puts on various ornaments and many decorations, but it is like dressing a corpse. ||Pause||" (Ang 712) During the olden days, the wearing of earrings and nose rings indicated slavery. The owners used them to identify their slaves. This does not fit in the Khalsa culture. We, the Khalsa, enjoy full freedom and are not slaves of any person or even of any god; hence we feel it degrading to wear earrings. The reader may be surprised to know that wearing earrings is a recent fad.

All females young or old, almost without exception, are now seen wearing earrings. The size and design of the rings have no limits. The earrings have grown long enough to touch the shoulders and they swing around when the head is suddenly moved to left or right. Such fads come and go to be replaced by new ones.
