Fingernail modification (permanent removal, relocation, and so on) is covered in BME/extreme, but it is one of the rarest and least frequently updated sections on the site… I was quite pleased to recieve this and a few other pictures from a priest (I think) who’s nearly completely removed his nails.

I wonder how dextrous he is with his fingers without the backing support of the nail. It makes his fingers look almost cartoonish, I like it.

I’ve been wanting to get my toenails removed. It’s nice to see nail removels.

My uncle has no finger/toe nails, he’s been pulling them out for as long as he can remember.

Julia everyone always says I am a freak because my little toenail is also like that. Glad to know I am in good company 🙂

My fingernails don’t cover the tips of my fingers anymore. They’re about 1/4 inch back from the tips now. It’s from excessive nail biting when I was younger (and now, even…)
Amazing.

Sorry. I will forever think of that line in Stephen King’s the Stand where he talks about the man’s finger nails peeling back “like wet decals”. Glad he likes his fingers that way. I couldn’t deal with it myself as I use my fingernails so much in my work. to each his own.

Wow I never knew people did this. I got a toenail permanently removed by a doctor when I was younger and now theres a hunk of dry skin over the dead nailbed that almost looks like a nail anyway. Do you think thats likely to happen in this case, or so other people have more success with this than I do?

haha

I have OCD issues with my hands. That makes me nauseous. But good for him, if it makes him happy, then go for it 🙂

Interesting look. Not sure if it’s one I’d want for myself, but kudos to him if it works for him 🙂

Obsidian,
My grandmother is missing a fingernail, and you can see a little crease where the nailbed is, but her skin doesn’t look like a nail to me.

This is pretty neat but fingernail removal seems like it would really hurt and not so much in the good way. I guess it’s a little unusual to me because I like fingernails, but hate toenails. Regardless, it’s a good job.

Sade, to get mine removed permanently the doctor injected (I think, its been a long time I don’t really remember) something in the nailbed to kill it. I don’t know if that is the only way of doing it or not though

You do have to destroy the nailbed in one way or another if you want to permanently destroy it as far as I know.

What method is this guy using, Shannon? I don’t think I’ve seen results like that before.
I still really want mine done. All of them. Fingers and toes.

It almost looks like you can stick coins in it and make a little bank out of his fingers

As an esthetician I find this so disturbing. Fingernails are there for for a reason. If he’s happy cool. It’s just not something I would ever want to or be able to do.
