Ethan Bramble, widely known as “ModBoy,” began altering his appearance at just 11 years old.

Over the years, he’s spent around $39,000 on body modifications, including over 200 tattoos, stretched ears, a split tongue, and even the removal of his belly button.

“I just wanted to look different,” Ethan explained. What started as a bold form of self-expression soon became his identity. But now, things have changed.

Once proud of his extreme look, Ethan now admits to deep regret, particularly about his facial tattoos, which he says have changed how people treat him—and how he sees himself as a father.

“I worry about what my daughter will think,” he confessed.
