We’ve all done things we’re not proud of, made decisions we regret, and spoken things we’d like to take back.
However, I believe that few of us have regrets as enormous and conspicuous as Ethan ‘ModBoy’ Bramble, an Australian body devotee who has over 200 tattoos on his body.
Expressing oneself through ink is frequent these days, and elaborate, eccentric tattoos appear to be popular. However, there is a limit to how much most individuals are prepared to spend to have themselves put on, and for the majority of people, that limit is far lower than what Ethan was willing to do.
According to accounts, Ethan was 11 years old when he decided to have his first body modification, which involved expanding his ears. Since then, he has undergone a variety of surgeries, including having his tongue split and his belly button removed.
His tattoos, however, attract the most attention, which is not surprising given that he is covered from head to toe. Overall, Ethan claimed that he spent around $60,000 AUD (around $39,000 USD) to appear the way he does.
However, he has now voiced sorrow for his previous decisions.

“I guess you could say I regret some tattoos,” he said during LadBibleTV’s No Filter series.
“Not just regret, I think there’s a difference between regret and wanting to be perceived differently.”
Ethan went on to remark that he is concerned about the judgement he may receive when performing some daily duties, like as driving his little 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 went on to say.
“I wish that I had not gone as hectic as I did on my face.”
In an effort to improve his appearance, Ethan has been undergoing painful laser surgery in an attempt to reverse some of the ink he received when he was younger.
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.”
