We’ve all made bad decisions, spoken bad things, and done things in the past that we’re not proud of.
But I’m willing to wager that very few of us have regrets as large and evident as those of Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble, an Australian body-fascination fanatic with over 200 tattoos.
These days, using ink to express oneself is common, and intricate, quirky tattoos appear to be highly fashionable. However, the majority of people have a spending limit that is significantly lower than what Ethan was willing to pay for any kind of self-improvement.
At the age of eleven, Ethan reportedly decided to have his ears expanded as his first physical alteration. Since then, he has undergone several surgeries, including having his tongue split and his belly button removed.
regrets being inked.
However, given how fully covered he is, it is not surprise that his tattoos receive the most attention. Ethan revealed that he has spent over $60,000 AUD (roughly $39,000 UD) to get to where he is now.
He has now shown some regret for his earlier choices, though. On the No Filter series on LadBibleTV, he stated, “I guess you could say I regret some tattoos.”
“I think that wanting to be perceived differently and feeling regret are two different things.”
Ethan went on to note that he worries about the criticism he would receive for performing some daily tasks, such as sending his little daughter off at school.
“The face is a big thing that can lead to so many; it can lead to a lot of problems for yourself, which I probably wouldn’t want my daughter to have to deal with until she was a bit older,” he said, referring to certain people but not all.
“I regret getting so worked up over my face.” In an attempt to improve his appearance, Ethan has been undergoing painful laser surgery to try to reverse some of the ink he was given as a child.
The modification
He said, “I’ve been getting laser [surgery], or have been, for pretty much 12 months.” We do it in bits and pieces, but I think I’ve gone over it six or seven times.
The anxiety and other emotions I was feeling led me to begin finishing it. It’s challenging to identify mental health conditions, but I’d like to believe that my anxiety was exacerbated by the numerous tattoos on my face.
“I’m happy with how I look, but I’m also happy with the idea that my facial tattoos will gradually go away over the following two years. I am merely washing the canvas.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see Ethan’s face after all the tattoos are gone. He is truly deserving of all the accolades for undergoing such a brave metamorphosis!
