#iruka would definitely give rebellious kids and teenagers free piercings if they asked him to

[teatitty]

Iruka has multiple ear piercings from his delinquent days truther but in the sense that he takes them off for teacher duties because wearing any kind of shiny attention grabbing jewellery around a bunch of volatile high excitable nin-kids is just asking for trouble and he's not a fucking idiot thank you very much

Which means all his students inevitably have a huge double take moment when they see him in casuals or mission wear outside of class and he looks like all those bad boy gangster punks their parents always complain about causing trouble

The only one unsurprised by it is Naruto because he's so used to Iruka's piercings he doesn't even clock their existence most of the time but he does think it's weird that his brother takes them off for school and not for missions. "Kids are more likely to try tearing them out," he says which is such a shudder worthy thought Naruto never brings it up again
