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.

    “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.

    I saw your myspace portfolio and your BME one, best thing you got is a fresh 12g transverse lobe with ptfe,and a 2x tragus. your portfolio looks like an apprentice’s. Saying my work “blows” and calling me a “low-brow knuckle dragger” when it looks like you’ve been piercing 6 months. Go ahead a critique my work. Calling me a d-bag is saying something about my attitude and Porter called me one right after my post, so he made this about my attitude, and you(cameron) take your time to nit-pick my posts like you’re going to accomplish something is laughable. Just drop it already, now you want to talk about portfolios, hit me up on iam if you want to continue this delightful argument/debate, im tired of coming back to this long comment page.

    Shawn, seriously man, you’re not going to win this. There is no coming out on top.
    Just stop posting altogether and instead, work on your interpersonal skills. You’re at fault for continuing this as much as anyone else here. Just let it go, hopefully better yourself, and prove everyone wrong.
    Or, continue acting in the manner that you currently are, and allow everyone who is criticizing you to be correct.

    Remember, insulting those who have insulted you does not make you a better man.

    wow. this whole thing is becoming one giant pissing contest, eh?

    this thing, to me, looks and feels like a bad idea for reasons spoken by many on here. thats my opinion. sure the client is happy, and is doing well, but as meg said, deep scars change with time. my hope is that he continues to carry on well.

    my biggest thing is the whole, fuck everyone who attacks me first, i have to be a dick back. why? this is the fucking internet!!! does it really matter so much that someone flamed you? sure, it may have been aggravating, but fuck man. this is fucking modblog. people are going to spout shit if they please, and thats the truth of it. attacking back does nothing but take the focus away from your work, and put it directly onto your shoulders.

    other than that.
