At just 24, Ethan Modboy Bramble is hard to miss. Known across Australia for his bold blog and even bolder looks, he’s a walking canvas of body modifications. With a split tongue, modified ears, blacked-out eyeballs, enlarged nostrils, a sewn-in navel, and tattoos covering 95% of his body, Ethan’s striking appearance stops people in their tracks.
Ethan’s passion for body art and modification was unmatched. It seemed like there was no limit to his creativity—or the possibilities offered by modern surgery. But everything changed when he and his wife welcomed their baby girl into the world.
Becoming a father turned Ethan’s world upside down in the best way possible. Suddenly, the man who had transformed himself so dramatically was looking in the mirror with a fresh perspective. For the sake of his daughter, Ethan made a life-altering decision: he would return his body to its natural state.
This wasn’t an easy choice. The removal process is painful, time-consuming, and incredibly expensive. Still, Ethan has no regrets. His love for his daughter outweighs every tattoo and modification.
Now, Ethan is a regular at tattoo removal clinics, enduring session after session to clear his skin. He hopes that by the time his little girl grows up, she’ll only know about his old look through photographs.
