# Tinkerbell Ears Elf Ears On the Rise Among Body Modification Fans (UPDATE) By Cowbag | Published 2009-05-24 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elf-ears-update-pointed-body-modifications References: [bmezine](http://www.bmezine.com) This is the one form of extreme body modification I would ever considering having--elf ears. People have this done for many many reasons that range from ritual to fetish. I guess the reason why I would consider it is that they can be hidden under your hair. The process is also relatively straightforward and simply requires the top of the ear to be cut and reshaped into a point as it heals. I hope they follow all the elfin safety rules! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Elf Ears:** Body modification fans are embracing elf ears as a form of expression and uniqueness. - **Hidden Body Modification:** Trends for hidden body modifications, such as elf ears, will continue to rise. - **Body Modification Industry:** The body modification industry can see an increase in demand and revenue with the rise of elf ears. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic companies can seize this trend of elf ears and offer elf ear prosthetics or jewelry. - **Plastic Surgery:** Plastic surgery practices can develop new techniques for elf ear modification and market themselves towards body modification enthusiasts. - **Fashion:** Fashion industries can incorporate elf ears as a trend into their designs and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Forward Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openear-earbud-concept.md) - [Earring Earbud Concept Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-yunxib.md) - [Mythical Creature Garden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elf-welcome-solar-light.md) - [Festive Elvish Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elf-classic-clog.md) - [Stylish Jewelry-Inspired Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jing-designer-earplugs.md) - [Futuristic Headphone Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andaash.md) - [Fashion-Forward Audio Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peripherii-priamble.md) - [Ear Acupressure Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ear-seed-kit.md) - [Non-Invasive Ear Treatment Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earflo.md)
