(FOX NEWS) -- This man’s ears must be burning after photos of his controversial conch removal surgery went viral.
Charles Bentley, a body modification enthusiast, reportedly traveled from Australia to Stockholm, Sweden, to have his inner ear surgically removed, according to a report on Fox News.
The removal, performed by piercer and modification practitioner Sonchai Maiber at Calm Body Modification studios, involves cutting out the client’s inner ear – or conch – and then stitching it up to reveal a large hole in the middle of the ear.
Some of the comments are funny.
"Ah, I see you’ve ordered the attention seeking package, how may I guide your unemployment experience today?” one wrote.
“For real, as a deaf person, can I just say f--- you?” another commented.
“You want to catch your ear on a branch? This is how you catch your ear on a branch,” another quipped.
“Unfortunately, that is ear-reversible,” one person joked.
“He hasn't deleted any of the negative comments because he can't hear us. Maybe we should tell them from behind,” another wrote.
