By the time he was just 24 years old, ModBoy Bramble, an Australian father, had transformed nearly every inch of his body. Over the years, he accumulated more than 200 tattoos and underwent multiple extreme body-modification procedures in his quest to alter his appearance.
His journey began early. At just 11 years old, Bramble experienced his first modification when his ears were stretched. As he grew older, the changes became more intense—his tongue was split, his belly button removed, and eventually his body and face were almost completely covered in ink.
What once felt like powerful self-expression later became a source of reflection. Bramble eventually realized he may have taken things too far, but by that point, reversing the changes wasn’t simple. Altogether, the tattoos and procedures cost him around $60,000 AUD (approximately $39,000 USD).
Speaking candidly on **LadBibleTV’s No Filter series, Bramble admitted that while he doesn’t fully regret his tattoos, his feelings are more complex.
“I think there’s a difference between regret and wanting to be perceived differently,” he explained.
He also opened up about the emotional weight of public judgment, particularly when strangers stare at him while he’s with his young daughter. He shared that facial tattoos, in particular, can invite harsh assumptions and create challenges he wouldn’t want his child to face too early in life.
“I wish I hadn’t gone as hectic as I did on my face,” he admitted.
Over the past year, Bramble has been undergoing laser tattoo removal, tackling his face in sections. He estimates the full process has already involved six or seven rounds of treatment. The decision, he says, was driven largely by anxiety and mental strain.
“Mental stuff is a funny thing to pin down, but I feel like a lot of the anxiety came from having a face full of tattoos,” he said.
Despite everything, Bramble emphasizes that he has found peace with himself. He’s content with who he is now—and hopeful about the future. As the tattoos gradually fade over the next couple of years, he sees it not as erasing his past, but as starting fresh.
“I’m just clearing the canvas,” he said.
