Residents of Suter village, Kintamani, are still obedient in carrying out a number of traditions inherited from their ancestors. One of them is ear piercing tradition for men. Headman of Suter Village mentioned, male residents at his village must have their ears pierced so they can pass through the entrance at the Tulukbiyu Temple where local community calls it cangapit. When met recently at Suter village, Headman revealed the ear piercing tradition for men at his village had been practiced for generations. In addition to Suter village, this tradition is still carried out by residents at two other Abang Erawang villages, namely the Abang Batudinding village and Abang Songan village.

Ear piercing is a must for men at their villages wishing to pass the cangapit. Cangapit itself is an entrance at the Tulukbiyu Temple, Suter village. Cangapit is a temple with a roof and the door is on the south side of the temple, with the westernmost position. Men that have not pierced their ears should not pass through Cangapit. Instead, they have to enter from the other door.

In accordance with the belief of local community, if there are male residents that do not pierce their ears but come into Tulukbiyu area through Cangapit, the concerned person will be injured, and sickly. No one of village generation dares to violate the tradition until now because people are afraid of being affected by disaster.

Headman added the tradition of ear piercing is usually carried out by its residents when their children were still baby or during the three-month ceremony. Pierced ears must be carried out in right and left side. In the past the ear piercing was carried out traditionally, but now it can be done with the help of a midwife. The piercing does not have to be perforated. Most importantly, it has been pierced. This has become a tradition so it is a commonplace for Suter village if the baby boy uses earrings.
