We’ve all made choices we later question, decisions that, in hindsight, we might have approached differently. Some of these choices are small, easy to move past, while others leave a more lasting impression. Few people, however, carry their regrets as visibly as Ethan ‘ModBoy’ Bramble, an Australian body modification enthusiast who once prided himself on his extensive ink and extreme alterations.

Ethan, now in his late twenties, has spent years transforming his appearance. His journey into body modification started remarkably early—at just 11 years old, he underwent his first procedure, stretching his earlobes. From there, his passion only intensified. Over the years, he has had his tongue split, his belly button removed, and, most notably, covered his body in over 200 tattoos.
Ethan, known for investing around $60,000 AUD (approximately $39,000 USD) in extreme body modifications and tattoos, has experienced a change of heart over the years. In an interview with LadBibleTV’s *No Filter* series, he admitted to regretting some of his tattoos, explaining that it goes beyond simple regret to wanting to be perceived differently, largely influenced by his young daughter.

Concerned about how others might judge him or how it could affect his daughter during daily activities like taking her to school, Ethan has been undergoing a painful and lengthy laser removal process for the past 12 months. Despite the high cost and the need to treat his tattoos in sections over multiple sessions, he remains fully committed to altering his appearance.
