Ethan “Modboy” Bramble, one of Australia’s most famous bloggers, is known for his extreme body modifications—tattoos covering 95% of his body, a split tongue, blackened eyes, stretched nostrils, and more. For years, he pushed the limits of cosmetic alteration without hesitation.
But everything changed when he became a father. The birth of his daughter made him look at himself differently. Wanting to be the kind of dad she’d feel proud of, Ethan decided to begin the painful and costly process of reversing his tattoos and restoring his natural appearance.
Each visit to specialists leaves more patches of light skin where ink once was, marking not just a physical transformation but a personal one. His choice reflects the deep love he has for his daughter—and his desire to give her a different image of her father as she grows up.
Do you think Ethan made the right choice in putting his daughter’s future feelings above his past identity?
