Once crowned Brazil’s most tattooed man — with 95% of his body covered in ink — Leandro de Souza’s life took a sharp turn after he embraced the evangelical faith.
Now, he’s undergoing painful laser sessions to erase the tattoos on his face, sharing each step of the transformation online.
For Leandro, it’s more than just skin deep:
“It’s a rebirth — not only of the soul, but of the spirit. I feel a transformation, mainly in confidence and dignity.”
With 170 tattoos behind him, Leandro is now focused on finding stable work, paying child support for his 10-year-old son, and fulfilling court requirements so he can care for his elderly mother.
A journey from extreme self-expression to rebuilding a life grounded in faith and responsibility.
