Actually, I think it's been proven that nails, nor hair, grow after death. It only appears to because the skin recedes and dehydrates, therefore giving the appearance of longer nails/hair.

You need to find a surgeon
to remove them
and cut away the flesh right down
and full skin graft over

(someone i know had to have it done to one finger
cause he crushed is finger and his nail kept growin fucked )

ripping them off just hurts alot
an they will grow back.

i think you'd have to emove a lot of issue to remove them permanently.

Don't bother trying to pull them out- thats actually a method of torture so unless you have a very high pain threshold i don't think its realistic.

That's so untrue.

thats actually just a myth, as the tissue decomposes it just exposes more of the nail you dont see making it appear that they grow still,same with the hair, becuase there is les and less tissue it makes you head look smaller making your hair look longer becuase your hair is nothing but dead tissue, nd once your body dies it stops the whole process

I have lost my first finger nail in an accident and damaged the nailbed and apparently it would never grow back unless i had micro surgery on my nailbed to repair it. So i would guess it would have to be something with removing your nail bed.. I don't think would be a DIY mod, but more from a doctor or something.. But then what doctor would give someone no nails just because they want it.. Unless there was a health issue with keeping the nails or something.

yea when i was little i used to rip my toe nails completly off...now they dont really ever grow...takes up to a year for them to start to even grow out...kinda weird...they just to skerd to grow back

holy macaroni! you must have one hell of a high pain threshold there! just the thought of even considering attempting to pull a nail out makes me feel wooosey!

i absolutly hate nails and teeth! especially when they are broken, especially when they are mine... ewww

i guess all you can do is research on the net. maybe go and chat to a cosmetic surgeon?

hmmm.. i had a couple accidents in my lastest job and saw some of my nails litterally pop off my body twice.. not that painful, but lots of blood.. the only thing is, without nails, the fingers are much more sensitive to pain and even to pressure.. the doctor said my nailbeds were too damage to produce nails again, and somehow, a year later both nails are as good as new... doctors...
