Covered in more than 200 tattoos and known for bold body modifications, Ethan\u2019s appearance made headlines for years. But it was fatherhood\u2014not public attention\u2014that ultimately shifted how he saw himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ethan began altering his body at a very young age, starting with stretched ears at just 11 years old.
