[[Image:Skin Tear.jpg|right|thumb|Skin tears in an ear from stretching too quickly.]]
Occasionally you can overdo stretching of a peircing (i.e. Lobes), or an appendage (i.e. scrotum, labia, and breasts) from vacuum pumping, pulling, hanging weights, or from stretching piercings too quickly. This  can result in small abrasions or skin tears and, depending on the severity of the tear, it might require anything from simple cleaning and a bandage or downsizing the peircing, all the way to  stitches and medical treatment. The risk is usually pretty minor and usually preventable with time and patience being key.
