Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble began transforming his body at just 11 years old. Over time, he spent nearly $39,000 on tattoos, ear stretching, a split tongue, and even removed his belly button. His body became a canvas — bold, extreme, and impossible to ignore.
But now, as a father, Ethan’s perspective has changed. The attention that once felt empowering now feels heavy — especially when strangers stare at him in front of his young daughter. He’s begun to regret the tattoos on his face most of all.
Hoping to reclaim a sense of normalcy, Ethan started laser tattoo removal. It’s painful, physically and emotionally, but he says each session helps him feel more like the man he wants to be — for himself and his child.
Ethan isn’t erasing his past — he’s evolving. His story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to change, to heal, and to start over.
