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.

    He better do one of two things:

    1) Eat it
    2) Plant it and get it to grow somewhere else.

    Like below your butt hole so it has its own little hitler ‘stache.

    “I think you’re jumping the gun a bit with that one…”

    Let me clarify that point: I’m not suggesting that it’s fine to do dangerous things without considering the consequences, just because your body may heal them. More so, I’m just surprised at how often things that one would think would have no business healing well end up being fine. It’s not a recommendation, just an observation, but it’s by no means an absolute, either.

    I don’t see what is so crazy about it. I wanted some scarification in replace of my eyebrows. I decided the best idea was a eyebrow shaped scar due to hair regrowth. My eyebrow is healing up great. Anyone that is experienced with a deep skin removal knows that the wound tends to really open up initially and then draw together as it heals. The looseness in the skin around my eye also plays a factor in how large the wound looks. It has already shrunk to half the size of the original wound.
