Typically, only people with very wide and droopy heads or teats like brand new pencils can put their nipples in their ears. But John Blake is an exception. He can do it because he recently had his nipples cut off, cast in clear resin and turned into plugs for his earlobes. He says the experience was “interesting”.

“I hated the sensation of my nipples being there,” says John, “so when I had the chance for them to be removed, I took it.”

That opportunity came after he saw someone on the internet that had branded his nipples off. John didn’t like the idea of branding, though, and had his sliced off instead.
