Suggested correction: Maybe Holly covered it up with makeup because she isn't supposed to have tattoos for her job? A lot of jobs still don't allow piercings and tattoos today but all those years ago it was even harsher.

There are multiple instances of covered tattoos during the early seasons. I noticed it the most on Alyssa's back tattoo.

Which Prue Is It, Anyway? - S1-E16

Revealing mistake: When Pink Prue is stabbed, they show the warlord over her, with the sword supposedly having stabbed her body. It is very obvious that the sword is not actually in her, but about a foot away from her body, closer to the warlord.

That '70s Episode - S1-E17

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Penny uses her powers at Nicholas and throws him on the dining table, it is clear that the table is a fake one simply made of simple wooden boards.

Out of Sight - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: Prue is needed in the storm drain to rescue Piper, who is stuck in a hole bottomed off by a metal circular guard. Prue uses her power to levitate the metal circle to her level. When the camera pans out, the metal rods used to actually levitate the metal circle are visible. (00:36:25)

Love Hurts - S1-E21

Revealing mistake: After Piper saves Leo, they meet with Phoebe and Daisy downstairs near the living room. Before the darklighter appears, smoke from a fog machine can be seen at the left of the shot to magically transition to the computerized effects. (00:33:45)

Be Careful What You Witch For - S2-E22

Plot hole: When teenage Prue has run away with the demon, and Phoebe and Piper find her in the park, teenage Prue is 'killed'. Her sisters drive her home to get Leo to heal her, but shouldn't they have just been able to call to Leo to orb to them when Prue was first hurt, and heal her in the park, and save driving back to the Manor, risking Prue dying?

Suggested correction: I see orbing to the park but he didn't heal her, she was already dead and he can't heal the dead, that's why the genie brought her back - that's what Phoebe wished for.

But if they would have called for him right away - he would have been able to heal her before she died. However at this point in time I don't think they knew how to call for him.

Yes, they did know how to call him. At least Phoebe did, because when Piper got sick in the hospital from the disease she inherited from the illegal fruit, Prue and Phoebe screamed out Leo's name until he appeared in the attic.

They did, they first tried it in the episode when Piper was sick with an exotic disease and dying in the hospital.

It bothers me that they never used it again until Season 4. When Prue was held by Abby, Leo could have helped if she called, and so many other times... so annoying.

Answer: That was a mistake in the series.

Also, the episode is called 'Babies First Demon' and this alone tells us that it's Wyatt's first time in the field (so to speak) and as the sisters say, they've done a good job of clearing up their own magical messes so far. Nobody really knows how advanced Wyatt's powers are, or will become. That's why the cleaners appear, to nip things in the bud. The Cleaners didn't want to chance that the sisters could clean Wyatt's magic up, just incase they couldn't. Therefore intervening themselves, just in case.

Chosen answer: When the cleaners first surface in season 6 it is mentioned that usually the girls have been able to clean up their own messes (as seen in season 3 episode 22 when Phoebe turns back time thus concluding in the death of Prue).

Answer: Because they wanted them to fix their own mistakes.
