tattoos and body modifications are without a doubt the most extreme
way that someone could change their appearance.
but what happens if you go and get all of this permanent work
done just to find out in the long run you regret it all.
Well, this is what happened to Ethan Bramble and this is the story of the
boy who tattooed his entire face and regretted it.
A few years ago Ethan Bramble went viral due to
his extreme look and having over 85 percent of his body tattooed
and if that wasn't enough he also has 40 of the most insane body modifications someone could get.
Fast forwarding to present day, Ethan states that
he regrets majority of the permanent decisions that he made to his body.
but why?
his goal from the very beginning was to
be the world's most modified Youth and he accomplished that
what made him change his mind and regret his decisions?
well before we get into that let's talk about some of the most insane
procedures that he did to get the title "world's most modified youth"
Ethan's story starts when he was only 11 years old,
he always had a passion for body art and modifications.
At 11 years old he began his first body modification which was the stretching of his ears.
It first started as a slight gauge but over time they got bigger and bigger.
This was around 2010 where stretching of the ears was kind of like the trendy thing to do,
so everyone really didn't think much of it but a year later,
Ethan and his friends decided to get a tattoo machine
and like most teenagers do when they get a tattoo machine,
they started tattooing each other with permanent ink.
Now this wasn't the smartest thing to do but a few years later Ethan got a little bit smarter
he decided to start going to actual professional tattoo artist to get his tattoos.
This was when he started getting blasted and
his tattoo collection began spreading all over his body
He started with the normal places like the arms, legs, chest and back
but then his tattoo started inching up to his hands, neck and face.
You know, the more striking areas that you really can't hide.
Ethan's face alone has over 30 tattoos and if that wasn't enough one day he
decided to just black out one side of his face completely in Black Ink.
Which is kind of a shame in my opinion because before the dude
went and got all these face tattoos, he was a pretty good looking guy.
But anyway, blacking out certain parts of your body is becoming a real Trend in 2022
but back when Ethan did it, very few even considered doing something this extreme.
You're probably wondering to yourself ?what
is this guy thinking?" "why did he do all this?"
but it gets even more intense.
If he didn't do enough to his face already,
at the age of 17 Ethan started branding his face and other parts of his body.
Branding is an irreversible procedure meaning once you get it done, there's no going back.
And speaking of irreversible procedures,
After branding himself, he then tattooed his eyes.
And once you get your eyes tattooed you're stuck with the way they look for life.
These next body modified I talked about in another video,
but the most extreme one that I think he got done was the removal of his belly button,
which I didn't even know you could really even do,
I didn't know you could get your belly button removed.
and aside from that, he got pieces of his ear removed to make himself resemble an elf.
His next body modification that he got done is like his popular
one that everybody loves and that is the silicone implant that he has under his skin.
And oh yeah, the implant it resembles a spider.
This one personally freaks me out.
Now if that wasn't enough, according to Ethan,
his most painful procedure was the splitting of his tongue.
He stated that after seven days of the procedure he couldn't eat,
drink or talk and this was tormenting him.
And also when sleeping, he had to be mindful of choking on his saliva
so for about three to four days he had the Sleep upwards.
based off of these things alone, I don't think the splitting of the tongue procedure was worth it.
From going over all of these procedures I'm sure the question has passed your mind of
"how much does this actually cost him overall?"
and I will say the amount will shock you.
With all of the work that he got done it only rang him a
bill of $20,000 which is actually pretty cheap.
the most expensive procedure was the inking of his eyeballs.
The reason why all of these procedures were so cheap was
because he got that good old friends discount.
All of his friends were able to do these procedures that he got done.
If he were to go and pay normal price for all of these procedures
It would have racked them up a bill of around $60,000
In an interview Ethan was asked why he decided to want to look this way
And he stated that "he felt a sense of empowerment"
and "that he could walk down the street and have all eyes on him"
And he would hear people saying
"whoa who is that dude?"
Which he thought was pretty damn neat.
He even said before that he will never stop getting modified
so what changed his mind to make him regret everything?
well it's simple, one word,
"responsibilities"
Ethan stated that it was time for him to grow up and he came
to this realization after having his first kid.
As he got older he wishes that he didn't go as Extreme as he
did with getting his face covered in tattoos and his eyeballs blacked out.
In an interview with brockov TV,
He said that
"he wishes he can pick up his daughter from school
without the parents and other kids making a scene and freaking out"
Which is pretty interesting to me because before,
he wanted all the attention on him but now his whole mindset changed.
Which I guess it makes sense because he is living for more than just himself.
But the truth is anyone should be able to do as they please with their own body
but when you go and get these type of body modifications to this extreme level,
it is going to affect you and everyone around you.
He also said that over time he realized that a lot
of his anxiety stems from having his face covered in tattoos.
So with that said,
what do you think his next move was to think takes all of his troubles?
you guessed it,
he started getting those tattoos laser removed.
in the past 12 months, Ethan has been getting laser removal to his face six to seven times,
completing it in sections.
And the procedures by looking at them?
I t looks like they've been pretty successful for him so far.
He said that he is excited to move forward and have a
face clear of ink within the next few years.
His eyes are still going to be blacked out
and he's still gonna have brand marks over his face
but hey, if removing the tattoos off his face is making him happier
then that is all that matters.
