From clean cut kid to the world's most modified youth: How 'Modboy' transformed his body with tattoos, piercings and multiple surgeries - and he started when he was just ELEVEN years old
A man claiming to hold the record for the most body modifications has revealed new images showing how he transformed himself from a clean cut kid into 'Modboy'.
Ethan Bramble, 22, has had his eyeballs tattooed, his nostrils punched, his bellybutton removed, his tongue split, his labret (the area under the bottom lip) cut and each of his ears snipped so that half is missing.
The New South Wales Central Coast local first dabbled with body modification at the age of 11, when he stretched his ears and developed a fascination for tattoos.

From the age of 13 he hung out at tattoo parlours and was introduced to more extreme forms of body modification.
At 17 he had his tongue split, and cites that change as the most intense adjustment he has ever had. He was left in excruciating pain and was required to sleep upright for five days to avoid choking on his own saliva.
Now 22, Mr Bramble claims he has had more than 40 modifications done to his body.
He says this makes him the world's most modified youth.
With over 125,000 followers on Instagram, Mr Bramble is supported by his legions of fans, who are fascinated by his looks.
He believes his decision to change his look and adjust his body is no different to those who dye their hair or put make-up on in the morning.
'It's the way you want to look, and I've always been a strong believer in you shouldn't really judge people in the way they look,' he said.
'The end product is 100 per cent worth the torment, if you're committed to it.'
Mr Bramble said the most frightening modification he endured was getting his eyeballs tattooed.
He still recalls the moment the syringe was approaching his eye.
'You have one person holding your eyelids open and it's up to you to stare at the wall at a certain spot. It's so stressful because if you move your eyeball when there's a syringe in there, you'll go blind. So that's definitely a really sketchy one.'
