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.

A couple of years ago I used to participate in a body mod forum. A guy posted one day – saying that he’d like his eyelids removed. (I’m deadly serious, this actually happened). Naturally, everyone in the forum informed him of what a stupid idea this was etc etc (we all know the importance of sight, yes?).
But a couple of centimetres south, and bam, that’s what we have here!
All joking aside, that forum guy is still out there. Any takers for this procedure?

Al,
Who are you to judge mine and Shawn’s portfolios? Let me see your work. Atleast I put mine out there for the world to judge.If John Joyce would have made your comment maybe it would hold some weight with me. But I don’t know who you are Al. If you are so qualified tell me your qualifications and then feel free to tell me what needs improvement in my portfolio. I like constructive criticism. Telling me I have a ways to go before I am a solid piercer is laughable.

Ok, so i said fuck and called out peoples work, my bad. I’m not an asshole, when i came on here i already had people calling me a d-bag, hack, a-hole. i responded back the same way, i’m a professional when it comes to my work, but disrespect me and saying my work “blows” is just fucked up.This was about a removal, not my attitude. I didnt say anything to anybody who said negative things about the procedure, but the people that took cheap shots at me and my other work is who i’m calling out. I know it was risky and expected a lot a negative responses, but i didnt expect to be called names and have all this come down to my responses being rude and unprofessional, talked to me in person and then judge my “attitude”

Brandon- Oops, I was wrong. I am referring to the pictures from his myspace and he isn’t wearing a mask. I guess they were taken during your implant procedure.

Brandon, are you actually surpised at all the reactions? I only ask as it’s difficult to tell. As you have no eyebrows.

“disrespect me and saying my work “blows” is just fucked up.”
hypocrite
“This was about a removal, not my attitude.”
you, and you alone, turned this into a conversation about your attitude with your first post on this thread. Good luck with the damage control on this one.
“…but the people that took cheap shots at me and my other work is who i’m calling out.”
Please take this moment solidify your arguement and publically tell everybody why you think my portfolio isn’t up to your standards, and if you would like I would be more than happy to publicly critique yours.
