Tattoos and other body mods

Every other piercing I have gets caught more than any of my four stretched earlobe piercings. Sure, they get caught. And sometimes that can have disastrous consequences. But it's pretty rare, if you're careful of yourself and your surroundings. For example, I always warn anyone cutting my hair that I have piercings. I also wear solid plugs to get my hair cut. It's pretty damn unlikely that anything would happen, but I prefer to be prepared.
My lip piercing, when I had it, got caught all the fucking time. It was stretched as well, but not much.

Honestly, 'traditional' earrings are more likely to get caught or tear. This is sometimes called the "cheese wire effect" when you have large dangling earrings hanging from a 18 or 20 gauge wire, the force of the earring getting caught on things can actually allow it to slowly (or in sever cases quickly) cut through your lobe. In a stretchered piercing the force is spread out and so a tear is much less likely.

The cheese cutter effect is one of many reasons that I don't generally get piercings below 10g.

Oh, and since it was brought up, healthy lobes don't look bad when naked. Of course, if the idea of a hole in the body gives you the heebie jeebies then it doesn't really matter if they look healthy or not. My ears are a little dry and flaky because they're fresh out of the shower, dried and pre-oiled.
