Leandro’s story is one of rebellion, crisis, and ultimately, redemption. Born in Bagé, near the border with Uruguay, he got his first tattoo at 13 inspired by his love for rock bands like Nirvana and Guns N’ Roses. By adulthood, 95% of his body was inked, and he gained national fame at the Santa Rosa International Tattoo Expo. Yet behind the fame, Leandro struggled with addiction and even experienced homelessness. It was during this darkest chapter that he embraced faith, crediting it with giving him a new sense of direction and the strength to change.
