A young Australian man who went through more than 40 body modification procedures claims to be “the world’s most modified youth”.

Ethan Bramble from Melbourne, Australia has had a string of body modifications including getting his tongue split, his belly button removed and his eyeballs tattooed black. Bramble, who recently turned 22, has always had a passion for body art and started modifying his body at just 11 years old. He told Barcroft TV: “More or less I just fell in love with the way it looks and how you feel when you walk down the street and you kind of get that sense of empowerment."

With tattoos across his body and face, Bramble says he doesn’t like to put a number on how many individual tattoos he has but says about 75 to 80 percent of his body is entirely covered in ink.

Bramble estimates that he has spent within the region of $15,000 to $20,000 dollars and the most expensive was getting his eyeballs tattooed. The procedure was very risky “because it can easily go wrong and you can end up being blind".
The most painful procedure Bramble has ever had is getting his tongue split.

He said: “When I got my eyeballs tattooed, my mom couldn’t look at me for like a month without getting tears in her eyes."

The most painful procedure Bramble has ever had is getting his tongue split.

“About seven days after the procedure not being able to talk, eat or drink was tormenting me,” he said. “I had to lay in bed for three or four days.”

Although Bramble says body modification empowers him, his extreme appearance has provoked some negative reactions from the public and online.

“You realize when you look like this that there are going to be certain downsides and not everyone is going to treat you how they should. But it’s nice when people do treat you properly.”

For others, Bramble is a living work of art, covered from head to toe in meaningful words and images.

Girlfriend Jade Randazzo approves his look but admits that there are few things that she doesn’t like about her partner’s appearance. The couple has been together for six months and met after Bramble already had most of his tattoos and procedures done.

Bramble said he likes the way he looks and has no intention of stepping away from the needle and knife — although he admits there’s not much skin left on which to tattoo or modify.

Next up on his list is inserting silicone into his penis.

He said: “I think g*****l implants to me is just being very courteous to your partner or the opposite g****r."

Claiming he has no regrets with any of the procedures done, Bramble says his appearance hasn’t changed who he is.

He said: “No one wants to live their life not being seen, not being recognized. I like to stand out.”

npp...a picture is worth a thousand words...

bahmer

That is one sick dude.

rumitoid

Sorry, what's your point?

Self-m********n is a sin. Origen, in a fit of misguided piety, castrated himself ending any chance to be declared a saint (or a dad) because of self-m********n.! Go and do thou likewise......just kidding you Rumi! On the other hand we can't stop your free will. But you did want to know "the point."

rumitoid

Okay, my point. Tattoos and especially body modifications give me the creeps; I don't understand it. Yet what I do understand, and my point, is that making them freaks or sick or immoral does not help. According to the Bible, Bankers appear to deserve the same disdain or condemnation. There's is a soul sickness, which I see as decidedly worse. Attempting to understand and have compassion for seems the better course. That is not tolerance; that is pro-active love in action. We engage and listen, not lecture and judge. Nor do we tacitly approve with silence or the vague approval of "do your thing." And that engagement is never to fix or convert or moralize: it is simply to care for their well-being.

Thanks for putting it up. I couldn't get my computer to co-operate.

Pro-active love when I was a lad also came in the form of my father's belt. Staying silent when faced with evil behavior is not an act of pro-active love, it is an act of cowardice and enabling destructive behavior. The politically correct fallacy is that tolerance to Progressive ideology is to tolerate what traditionally has always been known to be intolerable behavior.

FYI: it was tax collectors that were held in contempt not bankers. For bankers, and private citizens making loans, there were laws against usury.

You said "Staying silent when faced with evil behavior is not an act of pro-active love, it is an act of cowardice and enabling destructive behavior."
I said 'Staying silent when faced with evil behavior is not an act of pro-active love, it is an act of cowardice and enabling destructive behavior.'

you said "...it was tax collectors that were held in contempt not bankers." Both were, by the Jews and God. Read this http://www.tentmaker.org/lists/UsuryScriptureList.html

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

I did say that usury was the issue not banking. All you did was give scripture references against usury. Tax collectors always over taxed and took great profits from their collections. I believe Democrats are the modern day equivalency. They steal from the rich and keep the majority to fund their ree******n by providing EBT cards and free cell phones and promises of free health care. Have I got that about right? Are we having a bit of fun tonight?

rumitoid

Better re-read if you think it is just against usury.

Ugh, is that a forked tongue?

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

Yes, this fool actually had his tongue split in half about half way up. Is he the spawn of the devil and trying to resemble the serpent that lead Eve astray?

The Bible also says that not letting people know of their sin is a sin! Allowing sin is a sin!
