Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble, an Australian tattoo enthusiast, began altering his body at just 11. With over 200 tattoos, stretched ears, a split tongue, and even his belly button removed, he spent nearly $39,000 transforming himself into a living canvas.
For years, Ethan embraced the attention his extreme look brought. But after becoming a father, he began to feel deep regret—especially over his face tattoos. Strangers’ stares now affect not just him, but his young daughter.
Driven by fatherhood and self-reflection, Ethan started the painful process of laser tattoo removal. It’s tough—physically and emotionally—but with each faded mark, he feels closer to peace.
Ethan doesn’t deny his past, but he’s choosing to grow beyond it. His story is a reminder that change is always possible—and sometimes, healing starts with letting go.
