Known as Brazil’s most tattooed man, Leandro de Souza covered almost his entire body with tattoos starting as a teenager. His passion for body art once defined him, but after personal struggles and finding faith, Leandro chose to remove his tattoos.

The removal involves painful laser treatments, sometimes worse than getting the tattoos. Despite the pain, Leandro sees it as reclaiming dignity and making a fresh start. The tattoo studio where he gets treated calls his story one of overcoming great obstacles beyond skin deep.
