Too short, I'd like to get the ears of anime elves. Is it possible to get them moded to be long and pointy?
>>43589179
I found this one but I'm not sure if it is a mod or not.
Everything il always about the elfs.
A bit of love for orcs?
>>43589179
>Is it possible to get them modded to be long and pointy?
Not easily. The current methods of elf ears simply rely on cutting up your existing ear and sewing it back together in a new shape.
If you want to increase the overall size of the ear, it's going to take a lot of work. Either you'd have to harvest additional ear tissue from a cadaver and hope it wasn't rejected, or you'd have to grow a wholly new ear to the desired proportions with some pretty outrageous stem cell mad science like pic related.
Alternately, you might be able to stretch your ear over the course of months to the desired length by wearing some sort of brace that hooked into the ear and held it under tension at an upwards and outwards angle, but that would be extremely painful and would just give you floppy rabbit ears unless an additional surgery was performed to implant a semi rigid piece into the pinna to hold it in the proper shape and position.
>>43589179
I think they will look ugly.
At least they will never be as sexy as picrelated.
>>43589254
Huh. I've never thought of tusks working like that
>>43589371
Never mind. If cosplayers can make them look this cool long ears can be attractive.
Actualy anything a cute girl does will continue be cute as long as it is a minor modification.

The tongue's a pretty flexible and easily controlled muscle all things considered, just look at how many people can curl theirs or do other stuff without needing any practice.
As for OP, most of my more alt-y friends stick with ye olde piercings, but I do know an engineering student with a magnetic implant in his hand, which he says has been pretty interesting and actually helped his work a little since he can get a sense of how well a machine is functioning, whether it's turned on etc from the magnet's reactions.
I'll probably modify my eyes, and I would get body enhancements for muscles/brain/etc. Maybe long elf ears if they added anything and didn't look bad on me.
But mods for mods' sake? Eh, probably not.

Nope, it's against my religion. :( Philosophically, I'm all for morphological freedom. You're free to make whatever modifications/upgrades you want.
>Did you ever meet anyone with larp related body morphs?
Yeah, many. In the 90s, there were lots of people who got fangs. The permanent ones don't look any better than a good set of removable ones. IRL, horns look stupid, and forked tongues look awful. Elf ears like you see on Melynda Moon look fantastic.
Tattoos have never looked good to me. There's nothing worse than taking a beautiful girl and scribbling all over her. I've seen hot girls with tattoos, but never someone whose hotness was IMPROVED by them.
Piercings depend. Earings look nice, of course. I've seen some hot girls with belly button piercings, but also known a few girls with incredible bellies which were kind of ruined by a bad piercing. My experience w/ girls with tongue piercings is that neither kissing nor oral sex improves. It's essentially something to show off and fidget with. Too many piercings makes someone look stupid.
So some general conclusions:
1) Body mods can look nice, but badly done ones look terrible.
2) People who get into this stuff often go way overboard. One or two tasteful mods looks great. It makes you look distinctive. Fifty million piercings, tattoos, etc etc, and you're hiding behind your body mods. They make you look more anonymous, more of a cliche.
3) A body mod won't make you more attractive, but it might make you less attractive. Just because beautiful people often get body mods doesn't mean that if you get one you'll become beautiful. Often quite the contrary.
4) Body mods are often fads... but they're permanent. All those hot club girls I knew in the 90s who got piercings and tattoos are now in their 40's. They look stretched, faded, saggy, and OLD.
4a) People often permanently change their bodies on a whim. Whim goes away, body mod never does.

They actually coat them in nice strong and non-reactive ceramics now and if you get a strong enough magnetic if it breaks it pulls itself back together no problem. All the problems named were solved years ago. They even have this nice adhesive deal that keeps it in place now. Only worry is if you wanna go cheap and then its your own fault.

I've got one tattoo (religious icon) and I have plans for others but not actively pursuing any. My girlfriend on the other hand has, I think six tattoos all told? They're all concealable, which is smart. She's also got a nose ring, ring not stud, which I find hot and a belly button piercing which I find hot as hell. Plus the more standard girly ear piercings.
I suspect she uses tattoos as a stress response, but I can't prove it and I don't want to ask but it wouldn't matter even if she did. She knows not to do anything stupid like a face or neck or hand tattoo.
>>43590201
As a fellow electrician this seems inadvisable and I am concerned for you
>>43590546
>>43590560
Either of those nose piercings would look good IMO if they were the only one. Together, they're overkill. They distract from one another.
The lip piercing doesn't look good. It's well done and the ring looks pretty, but it just doesn't belong on a face like hers. The earrings are too big for her face and head. She has delicate features; she needs delicate jewelry.
That's the thing. Often less is more in fashion. Fifty things that alone are quirky/fun/tasteful turn into a crowded mess when it's all there at once. In her case, it helps that she's lovely even without all the jewelry and makeup. the elf ears, maybe some smaller earrings and the nose post would be classy and stunning.
>>43590873
Yeah. It's about the only thing I'd go with -- small, simple, looks decent even if you don't know what it is, and easy to hide.
>>43590805
You do know companies have it written down that only certain piercings and body modifications are ALLOWED on a hirable person. A very related example cause other than the bodymod industry they have no where else to go: McDonalds.
They're the most lenient. They allow one nose piercing but no holes plugs are acceptable, no ear holes plugs acceptable, small non-dangling earrings, tattoos that can be covered by a short sleeved shirt and pants, no expletives, scarification and branding follow the same rules as tattoos, no body modifications that could offend or sicken customers: this is up to the district manager but usually includes non-coverable implants, surgery type mods such as missing parts or changed parts such as elf ears, holes in the face, inked eyes, fangs could be considered surgery types depending on how the district manager feels, missing or fused parts as well. its not that they WON'T hire you its that they CAN'T. this also goes for all employees not just register workers. Most companies have it in stone rather than at the discretion of the hiring manager.

>>43591044

>>43590597
Well, it would probably mean brushing teeth in the shower, otherwise it would be a bitch to clean up. Should not hinder eating too much, especially if it's like >>43589254
where there are still canine teeth at the base of the tusks to help hold your food. Sandwiches might prove hard at first. The biggest loss in my book would be the difficulty in making out. I have considered just getting my lower canines pulled higher off the jaw then braced to withstand the great pressure. In other words so that my lips would still cover them, but I could jut them over my upper lip if I wanted.
>>43590991
>Together, they're overkill.
This. Nostrils, septum, and lip are a bad combo unless you're going full metalface. It's pure clutter The eye is naturally drawn there, so you want an attention grabber, not your great aunt's table piled with gaudy knickknacks.
>>43590865
That won't do jack shit. A hole in the face means air exposure which leads to dryness. Dryness makes the enamel brittle which ruins its linear layers which is what prevents cracks from splintering and going deeper. A key part of its ability to clack together constantly without chipping. A dry mouth also degrades the gums as well leading to gum disease and making small microscopic pockets for bacteria to live in which will worsen both of the above problems. Once you do grt cavities however the dryness will accelerate it leading to an infection of the jaw fairly quickly. His teeth are fucked.

Fashion makes a statement. Sometimes that statement helps you, sometimes it hurts you. That's life, and more importantly, that's your choice.
You have a right to choose whether or not to get a body mod, and I have the right to judge you for it. Having good judgement is how I got in the position to conduct job interviews and be a boss in the first place.
>>43590869
lol
>>43590984
Yeah now that's the thing. Keeping it low-key and classy means it accentuates your looks. With people like this >>43590703, the tattoos take over and you start being a picture frame. They make you less distinctive, more anonymous.
>>43590736
While I suppose it's possible that there are some people with extreme body mods who are extremely competent and emotionally stable professionals, they're the exception.
For the most part, someone with gauged ears, facial tattoos, etc. is going to be a massive fuckup in an office setting, and I'd rather risk missing out on that one good hire and keep the other 99 lunatics away, than get him and have to deal with the loonies.
>>43591066

Founf this site that I think is quite nice as it shows ear mods gone wrong
http://news.bme.com/tag/ear-pointing
>>43591019
There are many dimensions of merit. Fashion is one of them.
Your choice of clothes and adornments also says things about your personality and values. That's why it's called a fashion statement. They influence how people deal with you, how they perceive you, and how they treat you. For something like a senior sales executive selling B2B in a complex selling environment, those vampire fangs or horns can make millions of dollars difference in my company's sales.
I'd hire someone with body mods, no problem. BUT I also draw conclusions from those mods when I'm evaluating a potential employee. And I get that some bosses in some jobs won't hire someone with body mods and IMO that's perfectly legitimate.
Just because you have a right to make a fashion statement doesn't mean I don't have a right to listen and act based on what I hear. And I'm speaking as someone who views stuff like elf ears very positively.
>>43591103
Because someone who has fake scales or a forked tongue wouldn't get along in an office environment, and be more of a distraction. Their character would also come into question, as there is a degree of vanity involved to the point where you make permanent modifications in order to look like a fantasy creature. I am sure that cosplay is fun in the right place, but with these people it is 24/7. >>43591093
puts it pretty well.
>>43591103
If you think "professionalism" just means smarts and know-how, you are probably an engineer.
People have tattoos these days, that's a thing. People don't want to see your ink at all hours of the work day. They already have to look at your stupid face alone.
Also, we don't live in a meritocracy. We live in a society of humans, with human biases and prejudices and presuppositions. You want to be accepted? Join a support group or talk to your friends. Want a job? Play ball.

If their values don't mesh with the work place environment, of course they wouldn't be able to work as an administrator. Implanting fake horns isn't normal, and the average person isn't going to have much respect if their boss looks like the devil. If they worked in a tattoo parlor, or were a rock star and didn't have to care about that, then I am sure that it would be fine. But in an office where everyone comes to work well dressed, then of course you can't have someone like that there. Values can be held personally, but many don't have a place at work. You can't go to work with a swastika armband and expect not to be laid off, even if you values include being a white supremacist. What you believe in private is fine, as long as you keep that in private.
>>43591252
But anon there's a huge differance between facefucking a corpse and a blowjob from a living girljust trust me on this one
>>43591180
But it is though. What happens in your life IS life. You chose to get that tattoo knowing it means possible discrimination. You therefore chose to be discriminated against. Life happens and it happens to you and to others. Bad or good. Imagine you chose to wear a flashy silk red shirt and parachute pants to a fortune 500 interview. Now imagine those are permanently attached to your body. Thats what the interviewer sees. Worse he knows you thought it was socially acceptable (it may be in your circles) to make that a PERMANENT choice rather than an easily fixable choice. It shows instability and emotional immaturity which is not something somebody wants in there workplace. Again you might actually be perfectly well adjusted but the image you put out their says otherwise.
>>43591149
>>43591280
Exposed body work does objectively mean you have bad judgment because you *will* be discriminated against for it. If you can't understand the is/ought dichotomy, life is gonna be rough for you.

>If it means that the work environment is unprofessional, then no.
If you'd like to see a professional environment with high prevalence of tattoo, piercing, and light body mod, then look toward telepresence customer contact. Call centers, procurement and shipping, the entire fucking corporate structure at Zappos; anywhere that you can get away with your customer or userbase not getting a chance to make preconceptions beyond your voice and/or text.
Another peculiarity is casinos, primarily tribe-run. Appearance standards are mandated, but on things like piercings and tattoos, the standards are far more relaxed than your average entertainment services position. It's also more likely to travel up the corporate hierarchy as norms shift regarding performance versus appearance.
>>43591252
Or you know. Just don't be a fucking idiot and dispose of the body.

>In other terms; it's your choice what political party you support, or what you say. It's not your choice how people act in response to that.
Do you understand that "how people act in response" is the definition of discrimination? The kind of discrimination that is morally and legally wrong is discrimination based on *certain characteristics*. Discriminating on the basis of race, religion, sex, etc. is wrong. Discriminating on the basis of intelligence, social skills, attitude, work ethic, values, and personality isn't just right, it's your job as an employer. It's still discrimination, but it's the kind of discrimination we want.
I get you wanting to establish a social rule where body mods are a plus but can never be a minus because That's Just Wrong. The thing is, even without the tattoos and piercings, I suspect that you're more or less unemployable. I've worked with and would happily hire someone with most mods (including elf ears) but I think it's perfectly appropriate to take these fashion decisions into account, just like I'd evaluate what an employee wears to an interview and what level of hygiene they have.
>>43591420
In a culture where it is normal? Certainly. In most of the world? Of course not. Have fun with unemployment unless you are a Maori tribesman.
>>43591372
It boils down to how you're viewed by others. And that view is currently negative towards body mods. Everybody knows this. that means you knew it going in and still chose it which brings you into question as a stable and normal person, the kind of person they want to hire.

Doesn't matter that it's mean to discriminate against people with tattoos, just matters that it is going to happen when someone has to constantly look at a face or neck tattoo.
>>43591376
So we just need a political party in the US that is mainly supported by short term focused morons with questionable tastes in fashion and personal hygiene?
>>43591398
What about all the people without body mods that do? What was their sin?
>>43591430
Yeah, jobs where the qualifications are fairly specialised and don't focus too much on customer/employee interactions allow shit like this fairly commonly.

Tattoos and piercings are becoming less of a big deal in general.
More people get then when they are young. These people are now grown and in management positions at many places. These people are more lenient on hiring people with tattoos. So on and so forth.

This is the line; if it has a direct effect on your ability to do your job, you can be discriminated for it. If it does not, you cannot. Not if you want a meritocracy
But we've already established you're not in favour of a meritocracy, so I'm forced to assume you're just another libtard.

Look at these companies at a corporate level, not line droogs. When the corporate standards for base entry relax, the upper hierarchy tends to follow suit.
I live outside Asheville, NC. It's always been on the bow wave of appearance liberalization. As it crept into those low end office and service jobs -- wait staff, baristas, call center drones, etc. etc., eventually it became blase', background noise. Like them damn wimmin bobbin they hair and puttin on pants before, familiarity bred boredom. You started seeing more people with extranormative appearance promoted upward, and now they're running the back offices and doing the hiring themselves. So instead of marginalizing these "misfits", now you see them being more productive, which translates to MORE MONEY IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY.
Merit is the best yardstick. The end.
Fuck body mods.
Real scars made by Nature are the way to go.
>>43591530
People don't exist in a vacuum. It's not "I will because I would" it's "I will because anyone else in my position would." It's a judgement on your judgement in light of the common social norms. You can support individualism all you like, but we're social animals, and other folks will still hold their own values too, and some of that involves keeping "acceptable," whatever that implies.
And if you're going to an interview for a position that requires long-term judgments and planning, the idea of hiring someone who engages in what is essentially self-mutilation is not appealing because it indicates someone who either does not care about or failed to anticipate the consequences thereof. This applies doubly so if the position involves customer interaction, because most customers are 'normal' stupid people, and seeing a freak will make them think ill of the entire establishment.
If you want that job, either come prepared to compensate for the image that bodymods present to employers, or self-employ.
This is way things *currently work*
>>43591599
Anon, do you have any idea how much stuff that's perfectly normal today was viewed as negative a few decades ago? Things change. I don't know what crazy world you live in, but where I live, I have never had any problems with my tats. Other than an officer in the army, but that dude was gay as fuck and had a barbwire tattoo around his bicep, so his opinion really mattered to me.
I'm sure you have a lot of good points, but the world just isn't that black and white. When I do get turned down hard, I'll let you know. But so far I've had no problems and none of the jobs were at McDonalds nor telemarketing.

Merit can include skill, but it also includes taste, character, and other factors. In this case having a nose ring and a forked tongue is just a sign of poor taste, something that detracts from the entire package. If you mean meritocracy by your definition which implies only skill, then no. That meritocracy doesn't, and has never existed.

These are jobs where tasteful body mods are a strong plus.
I'm fine with people getting body mods because often they look good and it's certainly their right. I take umbrage at people claiming that I'm not allowed to have an opinion about it. There's a subtle fascism to it that boils down to "I have a right to say what I want, and I have a right to you saying what I want, too."
BTW I've seen people in office jobs that have extreme body mods and do well. But they do well in spite of that mod. It definitely is still a negative, but they work damn hard to counter that and still get hired.

Actually, that's a great illustration of where a contextually-appropriate body mod is a very strong positive. For a voter looking for a genuinely maori-friendly candidate, Mclean's tattoos are a good social signal that he's the real deal. And just as it sometimes helps, in other cases it's a strong negative.
Like I've said, I've hired people with body mods. But just as you can choose to get a body mod or not, potential employers can choose to take into account your body mods when they're evaluating you. Just as they do all your other fashion choices.

It is related as what you insist should exist across the world is an ideal, not something that has ever been put into practice or is even practical in the first place.

You're free to say what you want, I'm not saying body mods are a great boon to employment, but when people talk about how you won't get a job even at McDonalds and will die at telemarketing, I can't help but to laugh at the attitude, when I know plenty of people with body mods from tats to piercing who work in all walks of life and do well enough for themselves and their families.

>It's also more likely to travel up the corporate hierarchy as norms shift regarding performance versus appearance.
This is very likely. I already see more tattoos among corporate execs, though they're still comparatively rare. Low-key tattoos are already common in middle management.
Standards change over time. I remember when I had to wear a suit and tie to work every day. Then for ten years people had no idea what to wear on "casual friday". It seems to have stabilized around men wearing more stylish (aka expensive) clothes but no tie.
As implant/surgical mods go mainstream, they'll get more elegant and tasteful, and you'll start seeing them a la carte. I suspect that elf ears in particular will have staying power. Sounds weird now... but so are breast implants when you think about it.
>>43591387
That another guy with an important job at the European Space Agency got crucified over a shirt. Was the ESA right to hire him, or at least right to put him on stage? He's a spokesman for a government-funded operation-- their survival and funding depends on political support especially from the tumblerinas.
At his main job-- securing funding from the member EU governments-- his personal appearance hurt his performance.
Personally, I thought his tats and the shirt were fine, incidentally. But a lot of the same people who bitched about his shirt are fine saying that other employers can't evaluate someone based on their fashion choices. At least, not when we're talking body mods they approve of. It's not that they actually really oppose discrimination. They support it when it conforms to their own personal prejudices. Just when their own ox is gored they start waving the flag of discrimination as if it's a principle they really believe in.
>>43591796
Are you an idiot, or are you genuinely, naively fishing for academic papers on the socio-behavioral effects of the presence of body mods in workplace or customer-interaction environments?
This entire thread is evidence that, generally, extreme body mods are not attractive. Even Progressive BossAnon admits that they're something that needs to be compensated for in the modern workplace.
And normal people only like their kind of normal people. "Birds of a feather-" and all that. Cultural and social norms create a comfortable environment of the expected. Freaks are, by definition, unexpected- the kinds of body mods being discussed break most western cultural norms, and would culture shock patrons, destroying their comfort. Uncomfortable patrons are not returning patrons. Offended ones certainly aren't, in the case of the more conservative folks, but there's no pleasing them anyway.
It's not about you being discriminated against, man, because you have dangerous progressive values. It's because your lack of being able to maintain the illusion of normalcy actively endangers your performance.

It was a complete travesty that he should be crucified like that by the activists. It's not wrong because we shouldn't judge people by their fashion choices. It was wrong because his fashion choices were fine and all that faux outrage was over nothing.

>>43592186
The secret is, no one is normal. But everyone has an idea of what is normal, and that's what they hold most other people to. The conventions.
Earrings are normal, but for what gender and at what age will vary. Tattoos will vary in acceptability, but a basic acceptance of unobtrusive ones is commonplace. Unnatural hair colors used to be verbotten in professional environments, but such has been loosening up.
It's ultimately a judgement call of the community around oneself, or at least, the community one is trying to appeal to.
>>43592051

I think you're confused about what the word "merit" means.
>This is the line; if it has a direct effect on your ability to do your job, you can be discriminated for it. If it does not, you cannot. Not if you want a meritocracy
I've made at least four posts documenting cases of jobs where extreme body mods absolutely has an effect on your ability to do the job. There's more to life than the espresso machine and kiosks at Burning Man. Business is often heavily laden in ambiguity and social nuance. Fashion absolutely matters.
>Explain the difference between discriminating based on politics, and bodymods. After all, politics is a choice, isn't it?
Yes, and people discriminate based on political opinions all the time. Two guys got fired for making a joke in private about dongles that had political implications that an eavesdropper didn't like. Then the eavesdropper got fired because her faux outrage created negative PR for her own company. I want the ability to fire communists and nazis because I choose not to associate with them and I think they're bad for a company and its image. Liberals, you'll note, already have this power against conservatives (look at any college campus or newsroom).
>>43591552
>>43591636
That's not even what the posts above say, either. I've been saying since the beginning that it depends on context and sometimes is even a plus... but that the employer should be allowed to choose because it does sometimes matter. He's just straw manning.
>>43591762
He's arguing B --> A. That unstable people are more likely to get tattoos, that a tattoo is a sign that someone might be unstable, and therefore shouldn't be hired.

>No, it only includes skill at performing your job.
>Taste is an entirely subjective thing you mong.
Job performance includes subjective factors. You're conflating two entirely different concepts: how well I perform my job vs how you measure fitness for that job.
Leave aside easy example jobs like fashion where the role of taste is obvious. Many jobs like sales are socially complex and multidimensional. Appearance and taste in fashion is absolutely related to job performance in sales. So it's a legitimate consideration in hiring.
That's part of why pretty people get paid more than ugly people. Which sounds terribly unjust... until you realize that smart people get paid more than idiots, people with lots of energy get paid more than people who for brain chemistry reasons mope around all the time, and (in jobs where manual labor is important) people who are physically fit get paid more than weaklings. Looks are just one more way in which people differ from one another... and happily in the case of body mods they're a personal choice. Like most choices, you have to live with the good and bad consequences of your decision.
>>43592312
>employer should be allowed to choose because it does sometimes matter
Sure, but it should also be a reasonable rejection and not just "I don't like your face, so you're not working here." I get that, say, a company would like to hire a certain type of woman to showcase for them. Or have people working on the phone who don't have a squeaky voice and a speech impediment. But when it's just their personal opinion and has nothing to do with the job itself, it gets a bit iffy.
I remember talking to some dude who at least claimed to have a company of his own and he was very adamant about not hiring anyone with a tattoos or piercings. Not even hidden ones, like any. He kept talking about how his customers don't want them, but how are his customers gonna know about some dude's prince Albert? And he talked about he'd find any way possible to turn those people down without just telling them it's their tats and piercings. Just sounded like he was making excuses for his own prejudices.
>>43591845
High society has its own favored body mods: liposuction and breast implants, for example. There's plenty of highly socially acceptable body mods.
Ever see a hollywood star get botched plastic surgery? Jennifer Gray went from a superstar actress to an unknown after her surgeon screwed up her nose job. Or the stretched faces of people with botox. So some that are common (like botox) go out of fashion and the public feels comfortable laughing at them.
So many of the people who recoil in horror and disgust over a pair of elf ears think nothing of other body modifications that are exactly the same except in their own private "but that's totally different" collection of prejudices.
Judging and evaluating is what brains are for, though, so I'm still fine w/ employers taking body mods into account in hiring decisions.
>>43592459
>you have to live with the good and bad consequences of your decision
So being ugly is a decision?
Also, I can understand that a pretty person being paid more than an ugly one in a job where it matters, but if you're working in a coal mine, does getting paid more just because of your pretty face make much sense?
>>43591905
Which reflects changing social mores. I'm fine with people getting body mods, and would hire them myself. But there are situations where it makes a difference, and in some cases it's a negative difference.
I'm glad they're becoming more socially acceptable in your industry. I'm all for it.
>>43592524
>High society has its own favored body mods
None of which I have.
>Judging and evaluating is what brains are for, though, so I'm still fine w/ employers taking body mods into account in hiring decisions.
If it's related to the job at hand, sure. But if you look at some dude with pierced ears and go "well he's irresponsible and doesn't care about anything" regardless of his actual merits and personality, how is that different from turning down a Sikh because obviously he's a fucking terrorist.
>>43592555
>in some cases it's a negative difference

My girlfriend has a wrist tattoo of her zodiac sign because she thinks it looks nice and that's about it.
I knew people in college with tattoos and piercings and ear hoops and shit. Incidentally they were nearly all complete flakes.
That being said, the girls in OPs pic are pretty cute, but the ear hoop thing is really distracting. For what purpose? Hang your earbuds in it?

I refuse to believe youhave ever received a blowjob from a living girl. The other part is ok though

Have you been leaving your dead girls ontop of your computer or an oven? Or only getting head in butchers' freezers or something? Cold damp moist enclosing is just inferior to Hot Damp Moist Enclosing.
God damn these degenerates ITT are disgusting.

Typical bydlo.

You may have the right to degrade yourself by fucking with your body, but that doesn't mean that employers have to hire your degenerate ass.

What party did he run for? The Sith?

Making yourself ugly by disfiguring yourself like some of the freaks ITT, sure as hell is a choice.

Sounds they'd make a great Shadowrun party.
The only thing I can think when I see someone with heavy body mods is how fucking much appearance is meaningful for them, enough to mutilate irreversibly your body. I can't help but place them in the same group of hot topic bitches and fashion obsessed people.

If you got pretty face and some smarts, you won't be working in a coal mine in the first place.
>So being ugly is a decision?
Assuming you live in the first world and allowing for some exceptions of people born so deformed the amount of effort to make them look nice is just not worth it, the answer would be yes. Or rather, a series of decisions that set making oneself look good a priority.

Well, most of them also hated each other's guts, so basically yes, it totally works.

Africa is not a country, it is a continent
sclera tattoos :^)
>>43594713
I feel like that could end very badly.
>>43594713
It's not much like a tattoo really, just a bit of ink put into each eye, you can't make a design that way just color the sclera.
>>43594761
A bunch of people have them, a few have reported headaches and one dude looks like he has a permanent black eye (of the regular "I got punched yesterday" kind). The bigger problem is that even the most ridiculous tattoos can get removed if you want it enough, but these can't without making the wearer blind.

Daily reminder that even Stalin wore addidas pants.

Just reading that made my testicles retract.
>>43594795
I still like how they look though.

Goddamn it you beat me to it
I've always wondered: why aren't there professional scarification parlors? As in: "I want two scars over my left eye." or "one scar diagonal over my face." you know, going for that grizzled warrior look
>>43594971
Stopped being sexy since the sword fetishism and appreciation for dueling scars stopped being popular culture, I imagine.

>Wow anon, that is a crazy scar!
>Something wild most have happened to you for you to come out looking like that!
>How exactly did you get it?
>>I bought it.
I have scars, and telling people a different lavish story of how you got them every time is a ton of fun, but this is ridiculous. You can lie and say it was from something cool, but really its origin is the lamest shit.

>implying women wouldn't dig scars
>implying deep down they wouldn't have the hots for a man who has (allegedly) proved himself in combat and possesses strong genes
>>43594971
Because scarification hurts like hell and not many people like the look of scars.
