A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

A different take on ear pointing

Well it’s pointed, but not in the same way we typically see ears  pointed. I am not sure quite what the client was going for with this, whether it is indeed a different take on ear pointing, or maybe a faux battle scar,  but whatever the goal was the end result is quite striking.

This cartilage removal was donre by Martin Page of Amazing Colors Tattoo in Berlin.

For a healed picture, keep on keeping on.

    maybe it should have been called “cartilage removal” to save the small minded people calling it a “botch” or “mutilation” since lots of peoples ideas of pointed ears are like the ones we see more often.

    I love it. I have wanted a piece of my ear removed for quite some time and I appreciate the aesthetic of it. If I do it I certainly won’t call is anything that would give people reason to be such dumbasses.

    #13 rich: Come on, stop being full of shit. You’re not the judge of that. Mutilation is obviously forcing someone to a “modification”, i.e. altering someone’s body against their consensus.

    Furthermore, the way I see it the only way one could possibly mutilate onself is if severe psychological illness is present and the subject has no sound judgement on whether he/she really want to do it. I dare to say this is not the case for this ear pointing.
    Personally I don’t like the result. Looks like a post dog attack carnage, but maybe that’s what he wants. I do find it cool that he went for it though, if that’s what makes him happy.

    Dingo, good job defining it yourself then. Since you didn’t, the definition I’ve found is:
    Mutilation (or maiming) is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body, usually without causing death.

    If a sane subject willingly alters the appearance of the body it’s unlikely that he/she will find that altering to be degrading in terms of appearance or function. Of course, in extreme body modification function is sometimes affected, but I wouldn’t call it “degraded”. I highly doubt that someone who’s done a urethral reroute will feel that his ability to take a piss has been degraded? Just changed, hopefully to his liking. After all, his wish has gone through.
    Altering peoples’ appearance by force, i.e. non-consensual female genital cutting is very likely to result in feelings of degraded body function and appearance from that persons point of view.
