Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble, a well-known figure in the body modification world from Australia, is now reversing the bold transformation he began at just 11 years old. Over the years, Ethan underwent extreme modifications—including over 200 tattoos, stretched earlobes, a split tongue, and even the removal of his belly button—spending nearly $39,000 USD on his appearance.
For a long time, Ethan fully embraced his radical look, becoming a walking work of art and a symbol of self-expression. But now, at 24 and a father, his perspective has shifted—especially when it comes to his facial tattoos.
Opening up about his decision, Ethan revealed that the modifications, once a source of pride, have become a source of anxiety and regret. He worries about how his appearance affects how people treat him and, more importantly, how it might impact his young daughter as she grows up.
What began as a personal journey of identity and individuality has turned into a deeply personal reckoning. Ethan’s decision to start the tattoo removal process reflects a desire for change—not just in appearance, but in how he moves through the world as a parent and a person.
