Given Ethanās head-toā-toe coverage, his body art has attracted quite some interest. Remarkably, he paid around $60,000 AUD (about $39,000 USD) to have his unique look.
But even with his bold decisions, Ethan now feels guilty.
āI guess you could say I regret some tattoos,ā he said in a LadBibleTV No Filter series interview. āNot just regret; I believe that wanting to be seen differently differs from regret.ā
Ethan has started a road of tattoo removal, carefully following this procedure for the past year.
For around twelve months, I have been undergoing laser [surgery]. We do it in pieces, but I have most likely gone over the entire six or seven times.
His drive comes from battling anxiousness, a mental weight aggravated by his very tattooed appearance.
āMental stuff is a funny thing to pin down, but I want to think that a lot of the anxiety was from just having a face full of tattoos,ā Ethan said. .
Ethan sees his face tattoos as a symbolic āclearing of the canvas,ā anxiously awaiting their slow disappearance over the following two years even if he is happy with his appearance.
