Ear modification in Europe?
Question:
Good evening, is there anybody here knowing a studio / surgeon in Europe (I live in Germany, but body modification is not too common here, so I would be willing to travel to neighbor countries, like UK, Swizerland, Austria, France, Netherlands etc) who is a) able and b) willing to make an ear modification (aka ‘elf ears’)? Any hints would be appreciated, but I would be *most* thankful for advices from people who already had experiences with the studio / surgeon in question *and* can recommend him / her. Of course, I am also interested if you would *not* recommend someone, if something has gone wrong there before, for example. Ears are so delicate and I would definitely not want to look as if I had two broccolis on the sides of my head for the rest of my life *lol* I know already that Steve Haworth seems to be specialized in this kind of body modification, and his work on Kazen’s ear as presented on http://www.bmezine.com/news/people/A10101/htc.html impressed me very much – however, to fly to the US for the ear modification seems to be a bit too far for me. Thanks in advance if you have any hints, SP

The people at Visavajara in Freiburg (http://www.visavajara.com) have a good reputation, and apparently, they also have guests artists from time to time. I haven’t had anything done there myself though. They might be able do direct you elsewhere if they don’t do what you want. You could also try de.rec.bodyart
