This can be cultural as well. It's not only fans of sci-fi and fantasy, it's people who have certain beliefs, ancestry, or belong to specific societies and groups. It's not always about trying to be cool or different, sometimes it's a rite of passage, or a traditional situation
I've wanted this since the day I saw it. I'm jealous of everyone who has naturally pointed ears. I strongly agree with many of the commenters: How is this different from getting a boob job or a nose job. They get it because they think it's pretty, it's what they like and who they imagine themselves to be. Your body is a canvas and you should be able to customize it any way you'd like, and in any way that would make loving yourself more successful.
Mine are naturally like that, only they point backwards like a hobbit, instead of straight upwards like an elf. My uncle's ears are pointed too. I think it is a recessive gene. I wear long hare to cover it up, and then the people in the rural community my parents moved me to call me a "hippy", and tell me "shave your goddamn hair!". My hair isn't even that long! If I had a buzz cut like them though, I'd look like a freak! Anyway, it sucks, don't know why you'd want pointed ears.
Go pointy ears! I have always wanted them and never thought they did surgery for it until recently. Seriously, what's the difference between this and tats? I would LOVE to get elf ears. My daughter has them naturally.
Personally i am getting the "Body Modification" i believe that it is a way for you to be different and stand out from others. Why would anyone EVER want to be the same? I think it would be a cute thing. Even if people will mock you and call you a dumb A**. Do what you think is best for you and go on with your own life is what i believe(:
Fixing the inside and stop changing the outside? Really? I happen to be getting the elf ear body modification surgery done soon and I'm offended that people actually think this is such a weird trend, sure a women can get her A cup breasts moved to a Double D and nobody thinks that's weird enough to create a news report on it but god forbid having your ears pointed. Seriously?
I mean... it's not wierd to me. I was born with one pointy ear as my birthmark. So... xD I mean, i was never a fan (and never will be) of Star Trek, or Lord Of The Rings. -_- lol
You know what, when these people get older their ears are going to look pretty much the same. It's not going to look bad. Most people wouldn't really notice it out in the world, anyways.
Now, has anyone here ever seen an old woman who had terrible fake tits...grosss. And yet, everyone is a-ok with women putting potentially toxic balloons in their body.
I know a kid who has natural almost elf ears. Goes a bit front instead of back.
I think the guy was the nicest one there. I bet he was like, what? You people hate my ears? D:] But I think it's nice to to this anyways. Nothing big anyways.
I would never call this or any other body mod 'self mutilation'. People should have the right to do what they want to their own bodies. I've been wanted to ge that done to my ears for so long now. Doubt I have enough $ though.
I second that. Nobody suggests fixing the "inside" when chicks get boob jobs or nose jobs, but G-d forbid a geek decided to show their interests trough their bodies. We let them have their fun... when we have ours they turn it into a morality pile-up.
@n0ts0B9 EXACTLY. The people doing this are doing it because they want to express themselves and they think it's cool. They're not doing it for other people. It's not like they go through life thinking everyone is judging them because they DON'T have elf ears.
Most women who get breast implants do it because they want the world to like them better, or because of some other insecurity. They're the ones who need to change the inside, NOT the kids getting elf ears.

lol@ the idiot guy in the center correcting the woman on the right when she said 'plugs'. They're not called gauges, dude, she was right.
Also, getting your ears pointed doesn't hurt a damn bit, and it's way less work than getting a nose job.
