A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Full Eyebrow Removal


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.

    “its the first of its kind is what makes it unique and fucking cool.”

    Congratulations Mr. O’Hare! You’ve achieved the “first!” points so sought after by so many “practitioners” like yourself.

    However deductions of those “first!” points will be made for penalties including, unprofessional behavior, questionable ethics, track history of poorly conceived and poorly executed modifications, general douchbaggeries, and no desire to better these faults.

    I’ve seen your work in published magazines for a number of years now and I have to agree with Al’s statement that you do what you do for attention and recognition, even though in professional circles that recognition is the butt of a number of jokes.

    I’d love to know what YOU think your peers in the professional world of body modification think of your work. Do you think other artist think your work is as, and I’ll use the vernacular that I assume lowbrow knuckle draggers like yourself would use, “fuckin’ sick modz, bro.”

    But, Brandon, I’m happy that you are pleased with how it turned out, and to be honest, while giving no credit whatsoever to the person who performed the procedure, it looks better than I thought it would in the picture on myspace. Enjoy it!
