I hate elf ears and submerged metal anywhere. I think it looks stupid, to say the very least. However, I do like tattoos on many people, as long as it's less than,maybe 25% of the body. I, myself have no body mods. If I were to do it, just like if I were to try to be full-on goth, I'd just look like a lonely fool who was trying too hard. But, YMMV.
