Instagram bikie Ben Geppert's new life after gangster past as he vows to get ... trends now
A heavily tattooed bikie who achieved notoriety after a shocking daylight brawl in a KFC carpark has turned his life around and rejected his gangster past.
He has vowed to have his garish tattoos removed and live a normal life once he's freed from prison.
Ben Geppert, a convicted criminal and former member of both the Hells Angels and the Finks, once luridly documented his colourful lifestyle on his 'I am the Notorious BG' Instagram handle.
Geppert, 31, started his own clothing line and was instantly recognisable on the streets of the Gold Coast because of his distinctive tattoos.
His tatts include the word 'vendetta' above one eye, an anarchist 'A' symbol, guns, ghouls, and even his name.
But now he is waiting to resume his family life with a new partner who says neither she nor Geppert have any interest in his former lifestyle.
Geppert had gained notoriety for joining forces with a heavily tattooed woman, Allaina Vader, with both falling foul of the law while in each other's company.
Ms Vader, who had previous dated other bikies, regularly posted their exploits on Instagram, including a public slanging match with her cousin, Rikki Louise Sutton who was at the time dating a rival ex-Bandido, Brett 'Kaos' Peechey.
The tempestuous relationship with Vader blew up when the pair were removed by police escort off Hamilton Island in 2018, while celebrating Geppert's birthday, and later issued with infringement notices for threatening behaviour in or near licensed premises.
Ben Geppert parted ways with Ms Vader, but was forced to take to Instagram in 2019 to explain the relationship was by then long over.
Now Geppert's new partner, Claudia McCallum, has broken her silence to say he hadn't seen that woman for 'for five years'.
He was also determined to move on from the 'brain snap' that recently saw him back in jail, and build 'a new, positive future'.

That 'brain snap' was his decision in January to rip off his satellite tracking anklet, swim across a Gold Coast creek, and try to commandeer a motorised dinghy to escape police.
He is hopeful he'll be released from jail soon.
Ms McCallum, the mother of Geppert's seven-month-old baby girl and 12 weeks pregnant with the next child, said Geppert was a 'gentle soul' at heart.
'We've obviously moved on from the lifestyle. I'm not into that kind of scene. I've definitely pulled him out of it in the best possible way,' Ms McCallum told Daily Mail Australia.
'He's a different person. He's been working full time, it's hard yakka, when he's finished work he's just knackered and he comes home to a family lifestyle.
'We barely even drink.

Ms McCallum (above with Ben Geppert during her pregnancy) says the 31-year-old has been working as a concreter and will return to his job when he's out of jail and their new healthy family life
'He cooks dinner, loves cooking ... steak and veg, stir fries, we eat very cleanly. It's a pleasant life.
'We do swimming lessons always at the beach every weekend, we do a lot of free things to save money.
'We've got our heads set on a few goals, saving and buying a house at the end of next year.'
