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 find this pretty creepy to look at, but only because i think of the pain that must have been associated with it. to me, pain under my fingernails is the worst feeling in the world. i second kanga43′s request for methods?
to audente who said it looks cartoonish, i totally agree. looks like how i imagine popeye’s fingers would look!

this doesn’t shock me or anything…but this is definitelyone of those things that just “squicks” me out. more power to him. but *shudder*
(i think it’s because i had a scary busdriver in 1st grade and he was missing a thumbnail…that’s not why he was scary, but i always see him when i see something like this. he was really fucking frightening.)

Whoa, fingernail-removal. There was a new article on BME when I first came by ages ago and that one freaked me out like nothing else since then. Funny how different people react, I still get all squirmish when I see this particular modification, while others appeareantly go for it and/or like the aestetics.
Good that we are all different. 🙂

I personally have a thing about hand pain, so this is a bit oogy to look at, but it’s cool at the same time. I just wonder if this mod makes it a little tougher to use the fingers?
I definately third on wanting to know the method used for this though.

I’m curious to see the “during” pics. How exactly does one go about removing one’s fingernails, anyway?
*shudder* I’m picturing vice grips. Oh jesus….

I have a very mixed reaction to this.. On the one hand it makes me squirm uncomfortably in my chair… Losing my finger nails really freaks me out..
On the other hand I find this incredibly intriguing and interesting…

Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble here, but the photo is of this girl who has bitten her nails for so many years that this is what they look like now. I’ve seen this photo on other nailbiting websites. This is not a guy. I’ll get you her name soon. Anyhoo, it does look very cool when a girl bites her nails down that low. They just usually don’t swell up like that. Does anyone know how to semi-remove a nail, like at the halfway down point?

The woman in the photo holding the cigarette, her name is Catherine Simon. She has her own webpage on Yahoo [email protected] She’s not a priest. But, she does bite her nails really bad.

OK – to each his own I always say. I would like to know WHY anyone would want their nails, finger or toe, removed. Anyone?

Yeah, would you actually be able to play guitar with fingers like that?I’ve got a really painful 4th fingernail which digs in every time I put pressure on frets. Completely removing them seems like a good idea.
