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 don’t really understand the point of overly complaining about or drawing out a discussion on something that has already happened. The client is happy with his procedure, he is obviously currently healthy. and in the end client approval is the deciding factor on whether or not an artist is a good one, or a bad one. Not throwing stones at those trying to better the community, just saying if you don’t like someone’s practice, don’t practice that way.
I am curious, however, about how you handled aftercare. I’ve had extensive scarification, but never as a skin removal; so I’m not sure if the aftercare is the same. Do you debride something like this? Do you just let it sit and heal and see what happens? Whats the effect you’re going for?

I haven’t said anything about how Shawn responded. Shawn speaks for himself. I am only speaking to the people that are questioning our practices as modification artists. I could give a shit less what people think of Shawn’s personality. Shawn’s personality makes him no less a qualified mod artist. Nor does it change the look of my very nicely healed eyebrow.
Everyone has to find a person that they click with to be modded by. If Shawn isn’t that person then move on.

Photoshopped!
1) The pixels on the eyebrow are all wrong.
2) I’ve been to hell and back, and believe me…I’ve seen my fair share of ‘shops.

“Shawn’s personality makes him no less a qualified mod artist”
No it doesn’t. What does, however, make him a less qualified mod artist is his blatant disregard for cleanliness and his subsequent excuse storm as to why it’s all ok anyway.
I know I’m not the only one here who remembers Anne Greenblatt being kicked out of Modern American Bodyart where she was guest piercing — because she *may* have screwed a sterile field by touching a radio knob.
There was a day when this sort of thing was taken seriously. I might be the only one here who remembers Pierre Zambrano being given so much shit about using a dry heat sterilizer that he quit piercing. And at the time, he was easily in the top ten most talented piercers in the world. Should he have quit? Nah, he was being a pansy. But the shit he was given was valid.
You’d do well, Shawn O’Hair, to consider what’s being said by people older and more experienced than you as something other than total horse shit.

Wow i dont even know where to start at least most of it has been covered already. Please stop doing shit to people to help yourself come up. Dont think i wasnt in your poor excuse for a piercing class at that sex dungeon i was doing suspensions at about 4 years ago in LA, you still present yourself with a pathetic unprofessional attitude and a portfolio only an uneducted consumer would be impressed with. And before you call me a hater who doesnt do illegal procedures within the state of california take a look at what your doing and how its going to be when you end up in a court room oneday for either killing or permanently deforming someone.

YTTRX,
Where is his blatant disregard for cleanliness? Just because his answer on here wasn’t up to your standards does not mean he is dirty.

Everything we do is in a very sterile enviroment. Like I said our shop sets the standard for cleanliness in our county. CHECK OUT OUR WORK BEFORE YOU HATE. Don’t judge us by our writing ability alone. Again you can see our work at http://www.myspace.com/brandonvermillion and http://www.myspace.com/pastorpain

Hardcore procedure or not, it all needs to be handled and preformed in the same manner, be it in a shop or elsewhere. It’s just plain ol’ common sense.

#156 – By simply saying “Everything we do is in a very sterile enviroment.” shows me that you have NO clue as to what you are talking about. “Sterile” is defined as the absence of life. ( http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sterile ) Plain and simple. By arguing that your “enviroment”(sic) is “very sterile”, you show me that you don’t fully grasp the concept of sterile and not sterile….and that scares me since you are working on the unknowing, general public. *sigh*
There are classes out there that can teach you these things….pretty 101 in my opinion. check out Health Educators and get your learn on.
