Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble, 24, known for his extreme body modifications and over 200 tattoos, is now removing his facial tattoos for his daughter’s sake. Once spending about $60,000 AUD on his look — which included stretched ears, a split tongue, tattooed eyeballs, and even navel removal — he now says, “I regret some tattoos… I want to be perceived differently.”
After becoming a father, Bramble began year-long laser treatments to “clear the canvas,” motivated by anxiety over public judgment during simple moments like taking his daughter to school.
He previously faced controversy and legal trouble, missing a Melbourne court date that led Victoria Police to issue a warrant, though he later joked online about avoiding arrest.
Bramble’s obsession with body art started early, spending time in tattoo shops from age 13 and undergoing more than 40 body modifications. Despite his past, those close to him describe him as a devoted dad now focused on creating a better image for himself and his daughter.
