I don't know how guinea pigs understand that biting skin is bad and really hurts, but Scuzzy, Dahlia, and Iris figured it out and never intentionally bit bare skin.
The problem is that they don't understand that skin is under clothing. I once got a nasty nip on the bulls-eye when Scuzzy bit my boob through my shirt and now Iris accidentally took a small chunk out of my arm since my sleeves are thin. I guess it's really my fault since a big indicator that pigs want to go back in the cage is when they mess with your clothes to get your attention.
