In fact, Bramble was just 11 when he had his first body modification, stretching his ears. Over the years, he added more, including splitting his tongue and removing his belly button. While tattoos initially felt like a form of personal expression, he later realized he had gone too far. “I guess you could say I regret some tattoos. Not just regret, I think there’s a difference between regret and wanting to be perceived differently,” he shared on LadBibleTV’s No Filter series.
Bramble admitted he feels judged when people stare, especially when he’s with his daughter. Reflecting on his facial tattoos, he said, “The face is a big thing… it can lead to a lot of problems, which I probably wouldn’t want my daughter to deal with until she was older.” He expressed regret for going “as hectic” as he did on his face.
To address these feelings, Bramble started laser removal. “I’ve been getting laser [surgery]… for pretty much 12 months,” he explained, noting he’s undergone six or seven sessions. The process is driven by the anxiety his tattoos caused, particularly those on his face.
“I’m happy with the way I look,” Bramble added, “but also with the mentality that over the next two years, my face tattoos are going to become less and less. I’m just clearing the canvas.”
