Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble, once known across Australia for his extreme body modifications, began altering his appearance at just 11 years old. Over the years, he transformed into a living canvas with more than 200 tattoos, stretched ears, a split tongue, and even the removal of his belly button — a journey that cost nearly $39,000.
For a long time, Ethan wore his bold look as a badge of pride. Every stare, every comment, felt like validation of his art and self-expression. But fatherhood shifted everything. After his daughter’s birth, he started to see himself differently. The looks from strangers no longer landed on him alone — they landed on her, too. What once felt empowering now felt isolating.
That’s when Ethan chose a new path. He began the painful and expensive process of laser tattoo removal, starting with his face. Each session is grueling, but for him, it represents more than erasing ink — it’s about growth, balance, and setting an example for the little girl who changed his life.
Ethan isn’t rejecting who he was; he’s evolving beyond it. His journey is proof that even choices we once thought permanent can lead to transformation. And through courage, pain, and reflection, he’s showing that becoming a better version of yourself is always possible.
