If there’s one thing you learn by reading BME every day, it’s that the human body is incredibly, impossibly resilient. We feature body rites and experiments with pain that some people find cringe-worthy, but the lesson, more often than not? Our bodies work very hard to take care of us, and even things that, by all accounts, seem dangerous or ill-advised, can heal perfectly well.
This is not to pass judgment on the skin removal we’re seeing here, but it’s an example of a procedure that, probably more than a lot of body modification procedures, would seem unnecessary and dangerous to the average the person. To hear the young man who had it done tell it, even the practitioner, Shawn O’Hare of Fillmore Tattoo and Piercing, was apprehensive at first:
I wanted both of my eyebrows removed for quite a while. Shawn kept refusing. Eventually after talking to Steve Haworth, he decided he would do it. We decided to do one now and one after this one has completely healed. We discussed all of the possible scenarios and risks and then went ahead with the procedure. It was pretty cut and dry. He peeled my eyebrow off and we bandaged it up.
At the very least, it’ll be very interesting to see the healing process on this piece. More shots, after the jump.

I would think, that a person that experienced as Steve Haworth should be aware of “around-the-eye” scaring issues. Unless the procedure was performed to leave a huge and unpredictable in shape scar, I would rather see it as a multi-stage process, using approach similar to the one used n plastic surgery.
If I were to perform the procedure of eyebrow removal I would start with eyebrow implant works, increasing imlant size gradually to obtain sufficient loose skin flap to be able to remove the eyebrow and suture the wound without tension (oplastic surgeons use “expander” devices for that purpose). This approach would offer additional benefits, as it gives superb opportunity to control the scar size and shape.

Opinions are like assholes… here’s mine:
– I watched this dude work at a convention not long ago. I’m not surprised at all he’d do something like this. His actions there made it VERY clear that he’s in the industry for the attention… piercing with his shirt off, posing for photos the whole time, doing cuttings and tongue splits at his booth, etc. There’s nothing wrong with entertainment or publicizing what you do or whatever, but you should be on top of your game if you’re going to be that public which leads me to…
– He obviously had no CLUE of things like cross-contamination etc. while working there. I understand conventions aren’t the ideal place to pierce or do mod-work anyway, but seriously… touching a sharps container and going back to a piercing without changing gloves or picking up your camera to photograph your finished work WITH YOUR GLOVES ON STILL makes it pretty obvious you don’t know what you’re doing. Mastering the basics would be a good first step before doing more heavy modification. …and people wonder why it’s so hard to gain respect for this industry…
– Obviously as it’s been pointed out, there are methods of removing ones eyebrows that will have much more predictable results than this. And if the goal was a combined scarification/eyebrow-removal piece, it could have been executed WAY better both design-wise and with better technical ability (even the non-professionals posting here have pointed out how choppy and inconsistent this looks).
– Ignoring all the above points, WHY ON EARTH would you remove just one with the justification that you’re doing it to see how it’ll heal. So, what if it DOES heal shitty and you hate this big puffy eyebrow-scar you have… are you going to not remove the other? Personally, I’d rather have two at least pseudo-symmetrical fucked-up eyebrow scars than one on one side… And if you are unhappy with how the experiment goes, then what? Do the other side anyway and be symmetrically unhappy? Leave it and tell people you were in a car wreck? I don’t know… just seems like if you’re going to do something, at least fucking do it.
– Bonus points for the mustache photo though… that shit”s hilarious!
