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.”

mwdegutis,

Just a poignant Catholic observation, . . . to your comment reply and Protestant heretical condemnation of my Catholic Faith, it sucks and is just pure Hypocritical compost.


To be as blunt as you are.


Protestantism is a "Dead Religion" and it continues to fracture and divide.

It is a Christian apostasy, a schismmatic-heretical, Man-Made faith, that selectively picks and chooses e.g. (Shoping-Cart style), bible scriptural verse's from Jesus Christ's one True Church Christianity doctrines.

Protestantism does not follow Jesus Christ's teaching, from the Apostles instructions, to the Early Church Fathers instructions, the Church Written and Oral traditions. From the instructions and succession's of Pope's, Bishop's, Priest's, Deacon's Friar's, Nun's and the Church's Laity faithful.


I'm glad that you play the Protestant "Prose questioning," devils advocate indictment and typical Protestant accusation's, to your soliloquy absent-minded non-reasoning-brain and your typical anti-Catholic non-logical responses . . . .



mwdegutis, . . .

You, don't Comprehend, . . . Read . . . so Good . . . Do you ? . . . and or are most probably a little Grammarly confused ? . . . . .
https://www.grammarly.com


(See below for definitions) a. Metaphor, b. Simile is, c. Idiom is ? etc. And how they can be used in the English vernacular of the day.



mwdegutis,

#1. Lets just suppose, an Alien from Mars, . . . or an Atheist - Agnostic - or a Theist, . . . who knows nothing about Protestant Christianity doctrinal belief's and or about Sola Scripture . . . the Bible only 1532 Man-Made theology . . .


"While they were watching and attending a Protestant service they noticed a woman praying to the Bible!"


What would they say about that characterization ?


#2. Lets just suppose, the same Alien from Mars, . . . or an Atheist - Agnostic - or a Theist, . . . who knows nothing about Catholicism dictional beliefs noticed a woman praying before and appeared to be praying to a statue of Mary the Mother of God and was holding a Rosary to her chest.


What would they say about that characterization ?


a. Would they say the Catholic woman was misconstrued and not praying to the statues before the Blessed Mother and the Rosary ? She held in her hands with her eyes closed a rosary, pressed to her heart as she prayed.

Or

b. Would they say the Protestant woman was misconstrued and not praying to the Bible which she held in her hands with her eyes closed and the Bible pressed to her heart as she prayed.

What is the difference ? To the Alien from Mars, . . . or an Atheist - Agnostic - or a Theist ?



mwdegutis, Get the Point, it's a personal Judgement that you are making. Religious Relativism with-out the Known Facts . . .



But to the God, who inspired the Bible ? Inspired the statue of the Blessed Mother and inspired the Rosary ?


What's the real cognitive religious difference here ?


Would the Alien from Mars, . . . or an Atheist - Agnostic - or a Theist, would they jump to the unwarranted conclusion that this Protestant woman is treating her Bible as an idol ?

Would the Alien from Mars, . . . or an Atheist - Agnostic - or a Theist, would they jump to the unwarranted conclusion that this Catholic woman is treating her statue of the Blessed Mother and the Rosary as an idol ?


One could say, the same goes for having a picture of a deceased relative on the mantelpiece of her home, or for any object for that matter ? Is an Idol . . .


Would any reasonable person accuse her of ancestor worship ? A photograph as an Idol ?


mwdegutis, Of course not, so you don't use the same logic as Catholics pray to an image or statue of the Blessed Mother.


So let me . . . "re-state" . . . Your Protestant mis-understanding and most Protestant difficulty con-damnation of Marian statues, and the rosary.

By "NOT" understanding of the Catholic Church Biblical doctrinal practices, and which you are having, a intellectual, Grammar, theology-philosophical doctrinal level have lots of problems.


I have to say mwdegutis, that you consistently have a Protestant obtuse behavior, and belligerent anti-Catholic biases to my Catholic faith and traditional practices.

That you oppose and speak with Supposition's, Innuendo's, Exaggeration's of your own Personal Emotional Belief's, Religious Hypocritical Truth's, and Empty Protestant Rhetoric, devoid of any Real Factual Substance on my Catholic Faith and repeated are wrong.


Tell me something ?

Are you personally Protestant brain-dead ? . . . I suppose's so . . . Can't make a Protestant drink the water, can we . . .



mwdegutis, Protestantism is a dead religion and it continues to fracture and divide. It does not follow Jesus Christ's teaching, The Apostles instructions.

mwdegutis, Protestantism selectively picks and chooses e.g. (Shoping-Cart) Christianity.

That's why I say, Protestantism is a dead religion . . .

With over 30,000 thousand sectarian divisional Man-Made, independent, doctrinal, biblical self-interpreting, little Pope's.

Since you won't or can't understand the Article answers, to Protestants, on why Catholics venerate and honor Mary the Mother of God and the Saint's.


mwdegutis, Catholics do not worship or practice Idols worship in their churches. That is a Protestant heretical disingenuous falsehood.


This is a 16th century Protestant misperception by Calvinistic and of Presbyterianism, Assembly Of God, Brethren, Quakers, Amish and Mennonites, and all forms of Baptists.

Because of their hatred, bigoted, and prejudicial false anti-Christian beliefs are still practiced today.


Quote mwdegutis,

"But I have first hand knowledge of Catholics praying to statues of Mary or Joseph, two statues that were, when I was growing up, on either side of the altar, right where Jesus was depicted hanging from a cross."
**Catholics do not worship or practice praying to Idols worship in their churches.

**You don't know religious compost.**

**Your just a Protestant repeater religious lier, as is Zemirah, Rose42, jack sequim wa, and balmer. The five lying Horse-men and Horse-women of the Protestant apocalypse . . . **

**That is a Protestant heretical disingenuous falsehood.**

**mwdegutis, you're full of composted Protestant regurgitated dendrite opinions.**


I guess you have not heard of what a. Metaphor is ?, b. what a Simile is, c. and what an Idiom is? in the English dictionary ?

1. A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.

Here are the basics:

A metaphor states that one thing is another thing
It equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism
If you take a metaphor literally, it will probably sound very strange (are there actually any sheep, black or otherwise, in your family?)
Metaphors are used in poetry, literature, and anytime someone wants to add some color to their language


2. What is a Similes

Similes TIPS
Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know which one you’re going to get.
Let’s use this example to understand what a simile is:

A simile is a phrase that uses a comparison to describe. For example, “life” can be described as similar to “a box of chocolates.”
You know you’ve spotted one when you see the words like or as in a comparison.
Similes are like metaphors. But metaphors aren’t the same as similes.
Similes are great for famous authors, public speakers, and folks who want to make their writing as exciting as a spontaneous show of fireworks.

3. What is a Idiom
An Idiom Is a Form of Figurative Language, is a commonly used expression whose meaning does not relate to the literal meaning of its words.
Idioms are classified as figurative language, which is the use of words in an unusual or imaginative manner.

4. Figurative language includes the use of metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, euphemisms, and pun.

5. What Is the Definition of 'Literal Meaning'?
The term literal meaning denotes that all words are in strict accordance with their original meanings. In other words, to apply the literal meaning is to take the words in their most basic sense without metaphor or exaggeration.

Bahmer, let me see if I understand you correctly. If one takes a protestant concordance, based on sola scriptura, to prove a protestant interpretation of scripture, based on sola scriptura, they most likely will be agreement. Yet they will be in disagreement, lets say, with an Orthodox concordance that includes Apostolic teachings and Tradition to correctly interpret scripture. Hasn't that been the crux of weeks of discussion? In truth, every word between the two concordance will not be contentious but some critical theology will be. I expect not all Protestant concordance will be in agreement either - for example an Anglican and a Baptist.
