Eyebrow Removal! Controversy! Update!


So you all probably remember this little romp in the Internet hay from last week, wherein Brandon had one of his eyebrows completely removed, and much was made of whether or not such a procedure would heal properly. Well, the preliminary results are in! The above image is after one week, and after the jump, check out three weeks’ worth of progress.

We’ll do our best to keep you updated as the healing continues.

    Hmm, I still stand my ground that this mod is amazing, both positive and negative.

    But, now the healing has started, it doesn’t look that ‘chaotic’ anymore. Too bad that all the hairs aren’t removed.

    Looks to me it’s time to remove the other one, kind of curious to that result…

    “because all you stupid assholes are obsessed with standing out, despite the fact that you look like insane lunatics.”

    That’s not really a valid reason so much as you just being a blatant self-important ass. Try again.

    That’s not really true. A lot of people were “freaking out” about the way in which Shawn O’hare conducted himself in the comments section.

    its looking good now and i hope it remains looking good.

    for everyone reading know that it takes 6 months to 1 full year for scar tissue to stabilize and decide on what its doing.

    What it looks like 3-4 weeks is not what it’ll eventually look like in 6 months.

    Long as Brandon’s happy, that’s all that matters in the end.

    Healing a lot nicer than I expected! 🙂

    yttrx- that’s the point of the removal in the first place. Did you even read the other entry? Quote: “I wanted both of my eyebrows removed for quite a while.”

    I agree with #70

    looks like its healing decently, but in my opinion, you’re still gonna have a big ol’ ugly block of scar tissue, when there could have been a more pleasing scarification project
