I mean, I can see tugging on the little lady's hair, but tentacles are just too outrageous.

To you....:lol
But yea, pointy ears is weird. Those are elf anyway. Vulcan points are higher on the ears, not swept back like that.
Also, did you notice that she's NOT smiling before the surgey, but she IS afterwards? Not logical.....

Well, for one thing it's a lot more attractive than tatoos or piercings...
And I'm pretty sure the danger of infection and possible skin damage isnt' there either.
Frankly, they seem a lot more practical and stable minded than the people I see every day who have ugly pieces of metal stuck through their faces...but hey, I'm an old fart from a time when only women and pirates had earrings. Only old sailors and biker gang members had tattoos, too.
Compared to that, the ears seem pretty subtle.

I IMAGINE that with long hair like that they would be pretty easy to conceal.

Yeah pointy ears much more subtle than piercings which can simply have the hardware taken out at any given time, or tattoos which can easily be covered with clothing, dunno why pointy ears haven't caught on before :lol

Sure, no one would notice the holes in your face. I mean, every time
my wife takes off her earrings the holes become invisable.
Oh, wait: no, they are very noticable, and they would be worse if they were on her face.
Sure, I mean you can easily find clothing that covers you from ankle to ears.
That's much less unusual than a girl having her hair over her ears.
What was I thinking.
hehe, i was going to get a tattoo, but decided to get my dong forked instead. Same difference. Besides, I always wanted to go in two urinals at the same time.

Sure, after all poking holes in your face isn't surgical, it isn't done by a doctor.
And we all know that tatoos aren't modification. Why that's just plain ignorant, being objective like that. I know I should have taken 'accepting body modification' at university instead of physics, it's left me so uneducated about the REALLY IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS THAT MATTER TO EVERYONE.
I admit that a large part of it is about being visually pleasing to me subjectively as well. I think pointed ears are cute, and tattoos and piercings are ugly. On the other hand, I think that that take on it is shared by most people over 40.
I'm pretty sure dick forking makes you look like a sprinkler in the restroom: messy. Pretty impractical.

Incredibly clever. Thanks for making my point.
It is a hoax. Has been every time it comes up.
Ham Salad if you actually read my post that you re-posted, you'd see I don't agree with piercing being lumped in with Tattoos either. I can hardly count on you to bother to read or respond to what's actually posted. Glad that hasn't changed.
Again your ignorance is showing. Half of my Tattoo clients were older than I am, and I'm 42.
There are actually people out there that don't conform to your myopic view of life.

Just so you know tattoos, piercing, and body modifications ARE all part
of the same fetish/lifestyle. There are extremes in every group. Do some
homework before you call others out.
Edit to add: You are a tattoo artist, and you say they are separate???
I find it hard to believe. I only have a few tattoos myself but I have friends
that are very into the "lifestyle" one owns a shop. Every magazine in his
shop groups it all into one, and every tattoo convention I have ever been too
does also.

Well, that's OK, so long as you understand it doesn't matter.
And there's actually a majority of people who don't conform to your whacky perspective either. You can't change the fact that it's not 'myopic' or ' ignorant' to not see it your way.
I'm not ignorant, I just don't understand, which is different.

That's blatantly obvious for no other reason than the fact that her ponytail is identical in both shots.

Well, I HAVE seen people in the flesh who actually had this done though.
I guess I should have twigged by how perfect the result is: the ones I've seen never look that nice.

You have no idea what I have done and my qualifications on the matter. As an individual artist I have every right to decide if Tattoos and Piercings and surgical modifications are to lumped together. Most serious Artists I know, don't have a Piercer in the other room.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm glad your "friends that are very into the "lifestyle" one owns a shop" give you the expertise to make these judgments on my qualifications. Since the Magazines you picked up and your expansive Tattoo Convention experience are all the proof you need - I'll quit championing people's rights to express themselves. Guess what? I've been in those Magazines. I expressed MY opinion on seeing a HOAX posted AGAIN and certain Members jumping from FAKE EAR SURGERY TO TATTOOS. Read my ******* posts.
Had you read my posts you would see I supported peoples rights to be Tattooed without being lumped into some stupid s@@t like the first post.
You might want to blow your childish views at the people who condemned ANY MODIFICATION.

I wish we lived next door to each other, so you'd have to actually say some of this stuff to me in person.
NONE of your posts have ever stated your lack of "understanding," or your desire to understand. They are knee jerk, righteous comments. You have made direct statements. Stand behind your posts.
I don't understand why this is any different than bashing someone who chooses to follow a different religion, or have a different political affiliation than you.
Why do you have the right to make blanket statements about anyone's choices other than your own. THE FIRST POST WAS ABOUT A FAKE EAR SURGERY. Not Tattoos. Not Piercing. Not your views on fiber of the persons having either Tattoos or Piercings. YOU ALONE INTERJECTED THAT INTO THE DISCUSSION.
Nice use of "whacky" by the way.
