Ethan Bramble, known as “ModBoy,” once wore his tattoos as badges of individuality. With over 200 designs covering his body, including his face, he stood out in any crowd. But when fatherhood came knocking, Ethan realized some badges were heavier than others.
Starting body modifications at 11, Ethan embraced extremes—split tongue, no belly button, and head-to-toe ink. Yet, as his daughter grew, so did his worries. “I didn’t want her to face judgment because of my appearance,” he confessed. The thought of parents whispering at school drop-offs or teachers treating her differently became unbearable.
Determined to change, Ethan began laser treatments, enduring searing pain to fade his facial tattoos. “It’s not about regretting who I was,” he clarified. “It’s about who I want to be for her.” Twelve months into the process, his face is slowly transforming, a testament to a father’s love outweighing even the most permanent of choices.
Ethan’s story resonates with anyone who’s ever changed for family. It’s not about erasing the past but rewriting the future—one laser session at a time.
