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.

    Wondering if he’d ever had skin removal before to gauge how he reacts to it in terms of healing & scarring.

    Regardless, that moustache shot is fucking magnificent!

    Too much skin was not removed. The only thing removed is what you see the eyebrow. The skin around the eye is very loose. The skin around my right eye was almost droopy for the first couple days until it started to draw together and start scabbing.

    Yes I have had skin removal before.

    Interestingly enough first thing that came to mind after seeing the removal with the eyebrow sitting next to the “hole” was the BODY WORLDS EXHIBIT http://www.theleonardo.org/ – 8k That i recentlt went to with my wife and kids. it is basically bodys preserved with the skin peeled off, strangely enough alot of the bodys still had the eyebrows on their face, no other skin though except mabey the lips. after seeing that nothing seems morbid or shocking. the exhibit will be leaving SLC soon.

    I don’t find the cutting work there particularly aesthetically appealing…it looks rather ragged and uneven.
    And the thought of that lymphing into his eye makes me shudder.
