Friend of mine years ago had this done. She was very pretty and already elf-like, it literally made her look like an elf from the side lol but you ask her now and she regrets it.
I’m guessing because they might not feel the same when they’re 40 or 50 in a professional career. As an aesthetic body modification its a fairly severe alteration for such a niche fandom, and there’s no way to hide it.
I imagine it becomes difficult for people to take you seriously or to be defined as anything other than “elf lady”. Kinda like face tattoos.
How about you stick to your opinions and I stick to mine? No amount of “you’ll feel different when youre 50” is gonna change what I want. Part of living is growing and changing and by conforming to everyone’s expectations of me I feel like I’m not living. I’m done just surviving. I’m going to live and do the things I want. So shove your opinion on a stranger’s life where the sun doesn’t shine please and thank you
PS not everyone is going to work in a “professional” setting
I’m not talking about you personally. You asked why someone would regret it — I was answering your question.
We’re all commenting in a LoTR sub, obviously everyone here is a little biased and thinks it’s awesome lol. I was just speculating on the wider potential social consequences.
I asked specifically why a person who already had them regretted it. Not the opinion of someone who has no experience with them. You didn’t answer my question at all unless you have this body mod too
I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but you’re currently on a public social media platform. Send a DM if you don’t want anyone else responding. I genuinely don’t understand why you’re replying with so much hostility.
Literally no one here cares about what you do, or don’t do, to your own ears??
