Cheese-cutter Effect

this is why people need to learn about their piercings before they go around getting them.
If earlobe piercings (and other piercings) are done using jewelry of an inadequate gauge (anything under 14ga usually), it takes remarkably little pressure to tear the piercing right through the flesh of the ear, either tearing the piercing out entirely, or converting the small hole to a long slit — much like a wire cheese-cutter.
By using larger gauge jewelry this risk can be all but eliminated (larger gauge piercings can break as well, but this is due to piercing thinning rather than a "cutting" effect).

Re: Cheese-cutter Effect

Some of those look like they were badly pierced to begin with, the initial piercings look really close to the edges of the ear. Derp.

Re: Cheese-cutter Effect

Good post. It does look like some piercings were done really close to the edge.

I see some girls with piercings close to the edge and wearing hub cap sized earring and figure it's only a matter of time before it tears.
