The self-styled "world's most modified youth" is taunting police on Instagram after a warrant for his arrest was issued.
Ethan Bramble, 23, whose body, face and eyes are tattooed, is wanted by police in Australia over an alleged assault.
The social media influencer, model and poster boy for body modifications has denied any wrongdoing, rejecting the claims made against him.
In one post, Bramble, who has a forked tongue and stretched earlobes, wrote: "My alleged 'assault' I found out from the police is that I lobbed a beer can at my ex partners feet in a bar which there’s camera footage of that I in fact did not.
"You’re all f****** ridiculously dumb for giving into this media circus and you should all feel appalled [sic]."
He posted the message alongside a picture of him using an offensive hand gesture.
Police issued a picture of Bramble in a now deleted appeal on Facebook, which the tattooed model commented on, writing: "I've never once seen him in my life."
In another response to police's social media, he wrote: "Nananana you'll never catch me."
Further making light of the situation, he shared a video on his Instagram story taken by a friend who can be heard in the background saying "just sitting here having coffee… and I've found this f****** criminal" as Bramble pretends to gasp and covers his face with his T-shirt.
Bramble, who has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram, was described by police as having "tattoos to 98% of his body, including his face, his eyes have been tattooed black and [there are] gauges approximately 10cm (4 inches) in diameter in both earlobes".
Victoria Police say the warrant is still active, despite Bramble claiming he is now a "free man".
