According to the Telegraph, the animal lover has 110 tattoos, 50 piercings and a split tongue, and just had both his ears removed by a surgeon in a six hour operation.


He told the Telegraph that he gave his severed ears to "someone who would appreciate them," and is absolutely thrilled with the results.

What's next for this obsessed animal lover? Richards says he wants to find a surgeon that will turn his nose into a beak.
