The 22-year-old 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 Mr Bramble claims he has had more than 40 modifications done to his body.
This includes having 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.
'I've always been into different stuff to all the other kids, from a young age I’ve had full blackout tattoos, scarification, eye balls tattooed, ears chopped off, tongue split, navel removal,' he had previously told Daily Mail Australia.
The 22-year-old first dabbled with body modification at the age of 11, when he stretched his ears and developed a fascination with tattoos
'Modboy' has had his eyeballs tattooed, his bellybutton removed and his tongue split in two - which he says was the most intense modification he has undergone
'My belly button nullification was a really different experience, halfway through the procedure I sat up to look at my belly button and could see my insides kind of poking through the open hole.'
The construction worker adds that he wasn't freaked out by the experience, instead says it was 'pretty cool to see something like that'.
He said at the beginning his mother was hesitant, and when he got his eyes tattooed she couldn't look at him for a month without tearing up.
However when his own daughter is 18 she can do whatever she wants.
