Everybody has regrettable experiences, decisions they wish they could go back on, and statements they wish they could take back from their lives. However, I doubt many of us have regrets as significant and evident as those of Australian man Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble, who has over 200 tattoos on his body.
These days, a lot of people appreciate using tattoos to display their individuality, particularly the hip and edgy designs that are in high demand. But most people will not spend too much money on tattoos after a certain threshold, and for Ethan, that number was far greater than most would think.
Ethan reportedly decided to get his first body alteration, which involved expanding his ears, when he was just 11 years old. He underwent a number of operations after that, including having his belly button removed and his tongue split.
His tattoos are the main focus of attention, and it makes sense considering how many of them cover his body. According to Ethan, he spent over $60,000 AUD, or about $39,000 USD, to get his distinctive look.
He has now, however, acknowledged some sorrow for his previous decisions.
“I think there is a difference between wanting to be regarded differently and merely having remorse.”
Ethan acknowledged that he worries about being criticized for routine tasks like sending his young daughter off at school.
“The face is highly significant and can be very problematic for certain people, but not for others. He clarified, “I would not want my kid to have to deal with such issues till she is older.
“I wish I had not overreacted to my facial tension.”
Ethan has been undergoing intense laser treatment to get rid of some of the tattoos he received when he was younger in an effort to boost his reputation.
“I have been undergoing laser surgery for almost a year now,” he stated. We work on it in phases, but I have probably completed the entire procedure six or seven times.
The nervousness and other emotions I was feeling prompted me to start acting. Understanding mental health can be challenging, but I think that having so many tattoos on my face contributed significantly to my anxiety.
“I am content with the way I look, but I am also content with the idea that, in the next two years, I will have fewer and fewer face tattoos. Just getting the canvas cleared.
