An earring is a type of jewelry that is typically worn through the earlobe or the cartilage of the ear. The practice of wearing earrings is so common that it is considered a fashion accessory rather than a piercing.
To wear an earring, a hole must first be made through the ear, either by using a piercing needle or an ear-piercing gun. Most women have at least one piercing in each ear, and many choose to wear multiple earrings or other types of ear jewelry. Men are also increasingly wearing earrings, with many opting to wear them in both ears.
There are various types of earrings:
When it comes to passport photos, wearing earrings is generally allowed, although there are some restrictions in place. For example, the earrings must not be reflective, as this can cause problems with the image capturing process.
Other types of jewelry, such as piercings, necklaces, or headbands, are also allowed, as long as they do not interfere with the image or cause any shadows or reflections.
In some cultures or religions, earrings may hold special significance or symbolism, and may be worn as a form of personal expression or as a symbol of faith. In these cases, exceptions may be made for passport photos or other forms of identification, allowing individuals to wear their earrings or other jewelry as a form of cultural or religious expression.
