“Brazil’s Most Tattooed Man Now ‘Deleting’ His Ink After Finding Jesus – Says He Wants His Face Back”

Leandro de Souza, once known as Brazil’s most tattooed man with 95% of his body covered in ink, is now undergoing a dramatic transformation — not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally.

At 36, Leandro is laser-removing his facial tattoos as part of a powerful personal rebirth. Formerly addicted, homeless, and in and out of prison, he says he has now found faith and is determined to rebuild his life for the sake of his young son and his aging mother.

“I want my outside to reflect the man God is making me inside,” Leandro shared on his official Instagram page, accompanied by painful clips of his tattoo removal sessions.

His goal? To gain stable employment, provide for his family, and leave behind a life of brokenness for one of purpose and healing.

Leandro’s journey has drawn global attention, not just for the physical transformation, but for the message of hope it sends. “Tattoos may fade,” he says, “but real change comes from within.”
