Cutting off your eyebrow and making it into a moustache isn't normal.

But on meth it is.

I've seen a lot of really fucked up shit on bmezine, but why you'd want to remove your eyebrows is beyond me. Ever heard of shaving or waxing? Damn, some people are nutjobs.

Not sure what this guy's reasoning was for the eyebrows but for a few people some parts of their body just feel "wrong", like it's not supposed to be there, and they don't feel right until it's gone.

There was a guy on BME who really didn't like having nipples and ended up removing them. I also know a person through a mod forum who had her bellybutton removed. I know it's quite extreme to remove things like that but I personally view it along similar lines to cosmetic surgery, changing the parts of the body that they aren't happy with and are self concious about, sometimes irreversibly.

The question is, why these people do these things. There are disorders like BDD or BIID which are officially classified as neurological and psychological disorders. For many of their incarnations treatment is possible without going for extreme measures like amputating limbs or other body parts.

I believe everybody should be able to do what they want with their body. But there are two aspects of this that make me think. First, what if the person just suffers from a treatable psychological condition and otherwise would never feel like this? The second aspect is more of a personal nature. I can't grasp how anyone would want to do these things to their body. The human body is an absolutely amazing piece of art, beyond human comprehension (I don't mean this any religious way!) and should not be destroyed or mutilated in any form.

I guess it's somewhat similar to trans-people, they don't feel complete or happy in their own skin until their body is a certain way, different to what they were born with. I don't know too much about psychology but have been interested in body modification and piercing for a long time and have a couple of piercings myself and you learn to hear things from another perspective.

Modded people don't see all mods as a mutilation, it's more of an accentuation of the body's beauty in their own mind and I think people should have the freedom to do so within safe reason, but also with absolute certainty.

I understand it is difficult to grasp why someone can feel that way but I honestly don't think you will unless you experience that for yourself.

Having a few (normal) piercings or tattoos is one thing. Brandings, scars or implants already are on a whole different level for me, but the real mindfuck for me is how you can perform things like castrations, nullifications, inversions or amputations for non-medical reasons.

I don't think it's natural to feel the urge to do these things. It does not comply with any human instincts, not does it give you any evolutionary advantage.

Please, Dear God, tell me the eyebrow thing happened first and the person was trying to be funny. The thought of doing that on purpose is horrifying. O_0

One wonders if this would hurt more or less than plucking each individually; it definitely wins the efficiency comparison.
