Many people like to stand out in a crowd, or on social media – and some will go to great lengths to do so!
Take Australian Charles Bentley, for example. He does things his own way – and enjoys sticking out from the crowd. Many have strong opinions about his body modifications, but live and let live I say.
Bentley packed his bags and headed all the way to Sweden in order to undergo a minor surgery – to remove the inner part (conch) of his ears! Yikes!
The procedure was performed by Chai Maibert at CALM Body Modification in Stockholm, Sweden. Who helped the daring Australian to get the new look he desired, according to the site twentytwowords. Mr. Maibert claims the massive holes in Charles’s ears shouldn’t affect his hearing.
“To get some facts straight – this procedure doesn’t make you deaf. It might impair your ability to hear the direction of sound for the first week or two – until your mind has adjusted to your new ears,” Chai Maibert wrote on Instagram.
Not everyone online thought this was a good decision on Bentley’s part.
One of them wrote: “I bet his ears whistle when he rides his vegan bicycle,” according to the Daily Mail.
