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.

    I would say it probably didn’t even take five minutes to observe either a total misunderstanding of cross-contamination or total apathy towards it.

    Point blank, if you can’t handle the stress and pressures of a convention, don’t pierce there. I sure as hell wouldn’t. Regardless, the mistakes I saw you make had nothing to do with being in a hurry… you were definitely not rushed enough to not pose for camera pictures or snap some of your own (with dirty gloves on).

    All I’m saying is don’t put yourself in the spotlight if you’re not fully prepared for it, and maybe reconsider doing risky procedures until you’re educated enough to do more basic procedures correctly.

    Wow, it’s really great to see some rational thought in the comment section of modblog. I suppose the threshold had to be reached one day where the majority of observers, even in this circle jerk, say “dude, that’s just stupid”

    That threshold evidently is lopping off parts of your face.

    That said, Shawn O’Hare:

    Goddamn you is one fucking idiot bastard bitch fuck, aintcha. That’s about the worst flesh removal I’ve EVER seen, and I’ve seen Howie’s work.

    So that’s really saying something.

    So I’ll speak here for all the professionals who have some talent but are afraid to speak up in public forums about fucks like yourself:

    Please get out of the business and stay out. You’re an untalented menace. You’re dangerous. You’re making a lot of people look bad. And you’re going to be one of the people who is the reason that this entire scene is about two phone calls and a letter from being shut down completely, if you don’t stop now.

    So stop.

    Now.

    I’m going to send Barry along to the APP with a special message just for you too, so make sure you hang around him until he remembers it.

    This is getting ridiculous. The procedure was very thought out and discussed with a few of the mod artists brought up on here already. You guys are idiots. I told Shawn what I wanted and he gave me exactly what I fucking asked for. I couldn’t be more happy. Now as far as bbp go. I work with Shawn. Claims that we are dirty are just ridiculous. Our shops are very well know and set the standards in Ventura County and in Fresno. Shawn has worked closely with the health department in our area to regulate the industry. Shawn and my life is this industry. Our work speaks for it self. I have seen questionable work from every so called famous mod artist in the industry.
