“I guess you could say I regret some tattoos,” Ethan admitted. “But it’s not just regret; there’s a difference between regret and wanting to be perceived differently.”

One of Ethan’s main concerns is how others perceive him, particularly when it comes to everyday tasks like taking his daughter to school. He acknowledged that having tattoos, especially on his face, can lead to judgments and assumptions.

“For some people, the face is a big thing that can lead to a lot of problems, which I probably wouldn’t want my daughter to have to deal with until she’s older,” he explained. “I wish I hadn’t gone as far as I did with my face.”

In an effort to change his appearance, Ethan has been undergoing painful laser surgery to remove some of the tattoos he got when he was younger. The process has been long and difficult, but he remains committed to seeing it through.
