Everyone has experienced moments of regret and wished they could undo past choices or words spoken. Ethan ‘ModBoy’ Bramble, an Australian enthusiast of body modifications with over 200 tattoos, has faced significant regrets in this regard.
In today’s society, tattoos are a common form of self-expression, with intricate and unique designs being highly popular. However, there’s typically a limit to how much people are willing to invest in tattoos, a limit that Ethan exceeded.
Reports suggest that Ethan was just 11 years old when he made the pivotal decision to undergo his first body modification by stretching his ears. Since then, he has undergone various procedures, including tongue splitting and belly button removal.
Ethan’s extensive tattoos are what draw the most attention, as he is completely covered in them. He revealed that he spent approximately $60,000 AUD (around $39,000 USD) to achieve his heavily tattooed appearance.
Reflecting on his choices, Ethan admitted to some regrets regarding his tattoos during an interview with LadBibleTV’s No Filter series. He clarified, “Not just regret, I think there’s a difference between regret and wanting to be perceived differently.”
Ethan expressed concern about being judged during everyday activities, especially when taking his daughter to school. He emphasized that while he’s content with his appearance, he wishes he hadn’t gone as far as he did with facial tattoos.
To address his concerns and improve his image, Ethan has been undergoing laser tattoo removal for about a year. He described the process, saying, “I’ve been getting laser [surgery], or have been, for pretty much 12 months… We do it in sections, but I’ve probably gone over the full thing six or seven times.”
Despite his current satisfaction with his appearance, Ethan looks forward to gradually reducing his facial tattoos over the next two years, aiming to “clear the canvas” and alleviate the anxiety associated with his heavily tattooed face.
