This body modification involves the application of pointed, tooth-shaped jewelry to the canines, creating a sharper, more pronounced appearance. Examples include permanent implants, caps, and temporary clip-on accessories.
The increasing interest in this aesthetic likely stems from various factors, including the desire for self-expression and the influence of popular culture, particularly within music and entertainment subcultures. This modification offers individuals a way to alter their appearance and project a unique image, potentially enhancing self-confidence and reflecting specific aesthetic preferences. Historically, tooth modification has existed across diverse cultures and time periods, often holding symbolic meanings related to status, spirituality, or group affiliation. While modern interpretations may differ, the human fascination with modifying teeth persists.
