Ethan “Modboy” Bramble, 24, is one of Australia’s most recognizable bloggers — not just for his bold online presence, but for his extreme body modifications. With 95% of his body covered in tattoos, split tongue, blackened eyes, cropped ears, and a sewn-in navel, Ethan is impossible to miss in public.
He began his transformation at 16 and now wears full tattoo sleeves, neck, and facial ink. Despite often being judged at first glance, Ethan says his appearance doesn’t define his character.
“People think I’m trouble,” he explained, “until they see me with my daughter.”
What’s surprised many is not his dramatic look, but his soft, attentive role as a father. His loving parenting style has gone viral, challenging stereotypes and earning praise from thousands online. For Ethan, being a dad comes first — tattoos and all.
