“Not just regret, I think there’s a difference between regret and wanting to be perceived differently.”
Ethan went on to remark that he is concerned about the judgement he may receive when performing some daily duties, like as driving his little daughter to school.
“The face is a big thing that can lead to so many – for some people, not everyone – can lead to a lot of problems for yourself, which I probably wouldn’t want my daughter to have to deal with until she was a bit older,” he went on to say.
“I wish that I had not gone as hectic as I did on my face.”
In an effort to improve his appearance, Ethan has been undergoing painful laser surgery in an attempt to reverse some of the ink he received when he was younger.
He explained: “I’ve been getting laser [surgery], or have been, for pretty much 12 months… We do it in sections, but I’ve probably gone over the full thing six or seven times.
“I started getting it done because of the anxiety and stuff I was getting… Mental 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.
“I’m happy with the way that I look, but I’m also happy with the mentality that over the next two years, my face tattoos are going to become less and less and less. I’m just clearing the canvas.”
