We have all made mistakes in the past, regretted choices we’ve made, and wished we could undo words we’ve spoken.
Not many people have regrets as big as Ethan ‘ModBoy’ Bramble, an Australian body fanatic with over 200 tattoos.
These days, many people express themselves through tattoos. Intricate and unique designs are very popular. However, most people have a limit on how much they are willing to spend on tattoos, and Ethan was willing to go beyond that limit.
According to reports, Ethan was only 11 years old when he made the decision to get his first body modification. This involved stretching his ears. Since then, he has undergone various procedures, such as splitting his tongue and removing his belly button.
Ethan’s tattoos are what people notice the most, since he is completely covered in them. He shared that he spent approximately $60,000 AUD (about $39,000 USD) to achieve his look.
Now, however, he has shown some remorse for his previous decisions.

“I guess you could say I regret some tattoos,” he shared with LadBibleTV’s No Filter series..
“Not just regret, I think there’s a difference between regret and wanting to be perceived differently.”
Ethan expressed his concern about facing judgment when doing everyday activities like taking his daughter to school.
“The face is a big thing that can lead to so many – for some people, not everyone – 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.
“I wish that I had not gone as hectic as I did on my face.”
Ethan has been undergoing laser surgery to remove some of the tattoos he got when he was younger in order to improve his image.

He explained: “I’ve been getting laser [surgery], or have been, for pretty much 12 months… We do it in sections, but I’ve probably gone over the full thing six or seven times.
“I started getting it done because of the anxiety and stuff I was getting… Mental stuff is a funny thing to pin down, but I want to think that a lot of the anxiety was from just having a face full of tattoos.
“I’m happy with the way that I look, but I’m also happy with the mentality that over the next two years, my face tattoos are going to become less and less and less. I’m just clearing the canvas.”

Your change for your daughter speaks volumes about what a caring Dad You will be!
I don’t know! I don’t have tattoos nor do I want any; ‘I like me the way I am!’
I think he went way overboard; now paying the consequences! Looking at it; I hurt for and with him!
I think change comes when you mature
Having a daughter was a choice, like having tattoos
Having the tattoos removed from his face, was a conscious decision
It may have been a compromise by both partners
Removing these tattoos from his face, is a serious procedure with added complications
I think his appearance played on his mind psychologically, on how his daughter would see him
That in itself, was admirable
But now the healing both physically and mental, will be the next challenge in all their lives
I pray he recovers completely and his psyche restores and there family live happily ever after . . AMEN
I think you have a beautiful face now that once ŵas covered tattoos. Just know God and your daughter will see that now. Dawn Goff
I think that the sacrifice hes making will have a huge impact on his daughter in the future when shes old enough to undetstand. I lnow that people do make quick judgements on sight. Even once they get to know you. That first impression of meeting him with his face covered in tattoos will usually bf false but it will stick nonetheless. He is quite handsome now that you can see the original “canvas”. That too will leave an impression but oddly ( to me) it will be a much more positive one. One that wont interfere with the interaction those parents will allow your daughter to play and interact with their children. Thats how in one way you are changing your daughters future by your sacrifice. Thank you for loving her like this, more than you do yourself. ❤️
These hurt my body to look at them. They effect the immune system. Since I have struggled with celiac causing so much on my body immune; having tattoos would have probably taken my life. I have never desired them anyway.
He is too good looking to cover his face w tattoos. You are a great daddy, Ethan!!! Proud of your choice to remove them!
I’m glad he decided to get them removed, but what really troubled me was the split tongue and the stretched ears. 😥
