I draw the webcomic Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and work on cartoons you might see on TV sometimes.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Should not like these as much as I do. They’re so pretty!
I didn’t even know Scarification was a thing.
That’s surprising! It’s been a pretty popular form of body modification for a while (historically forever, but in modern American Pop culture since at least the 90’s) As I understand it’s often recommended for people who have darker skin that tattoo ink would have a hard time showing up on, as well as an alternative to white ink tattoos because it gives a similar effect without the discolouration over time.
That’s a really cool tribute body mod, though. It’s a clever thing that’ll probably age well and makes sense on some level even if you don’t understand the full extent of the reference. It kind of reminds me of people who get Billy Coen’s tribal sleeve as a Resident Evil tribute, except it’s more subtle and you don’t have to have a big tacky tribal sleeve.
Apparently this was Stalking Cat/Dennis Avner before he started getting heavily into plastic surgery. I always think it’s really interesting seeing the “before” versions of heavily modified people, just as a bearing of how much they’ve changed. I can’t entirely explain it, but I’ve always been interested in those of “What I am, what I was, what I plan to be” kind of comparisons.
i actually don’t think that’s him. if you google “elf ear surgery”, it brings up that first image alongside a “pre op” photo of him. that image has been around a while.
Hm, that’s entirely possible, but also disappointing. I tried to cross check it with a couple different blogs, but I guess if one made the mistake, others could follow suit.
