I myself have a split tongue and sub dermal implants, but if I didn’t live in North America I would go for the neck coils in a second.

Oh, Lisa. Let’s all try to be adults here and not laugh at a purely scientific term like, “flip-flap.”

Not to mention transdermal implants. This has been performed from ancient days with some tribes in Africa and Australia inserting rocks and bones just beneath the skin. Modern implants use silicon and can be carved to a wide variety of shapes prior to implantation. Inserting knuckle busters was a bit of a fad recently.

Also LOL @ “flip-flaps”

Calling it neck elongation is misleading. This practice drives the collar bones down along with the rest of the shoulders. The neck is not altered except that it loses the strength to hold up the head unaided. At one time it was believed that removing the rings would lead to death with a broken neck because the vertebrae were pulled apart but that is not the case.

Damnation, I forgot where these folks live but there is a tribe somewhere in the world in which the ladies hang weights from their flip-flaps until they hang down past their knees!!!!!! Apparently, dudes there love long, stretchy flaps. ???

I know that, as an anthro student, I’m sucksposed to be all culturally relative – and I can be 99% of the time – but if I saw some chick’s mudflaps batting round her knees as she strolled about, I would be all, “For ever-loving f*ck’s sake! Stuff ‘em someplace, please!”

Rather sad, isn’t it?
