Officials know it and players know that officials know it. It is called due diligence on the part of the official to check under the tape or bandaid.
Mark T.,
My "due diligence" ends with their negative answer.
I won't take a peek.

IANAL, but I agree - if they say no (and I can't clearly see one), I believe them and the liability is on the player.
If I see tape where a piercing would routinely be, (ear, nose, lip) they will have to show me that the tape is not covering a piece of jewelry.

No wonder the entire eastern part of the USA is covered in ice and snow, Tony agreed with me. LOL
