After Six Laser Sessions in Franco da Rocha, Leandro Souza Says That the Removal of Tattoos Accompanies a Personal Change Related to Religion, the Abandonment of Addictions, and Plans to Study Theology and Work as a Missionary in Petrolina.
Leandro Souza, known for being described in reports and on social media as the “most tattooed man in Brazil,” has undergone another stage in the laser removal process of his tattoos.
The most recent session, the sixth, was held in Franco da Rocha, in Greater São Paulo, as part of a treatment he says he started about two years ago.
According to Leandro, the removal of the designs is linked to a life change associated with his conversion to Christianity.

He also claims to have stopped using drugs, in addition to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, and says he intends to pursue a path focused on missionary work and studying Theology.
Tattoo Removal and Life Change
According to CNN Brasil, a native of Bagé (RS), Leandro states that he decided to remove the tattoos, especially those on his face, because he feels they do not connect with the identity he claims to have today.
The motivation, according to him, involves religious and personal reasons.
In public statements, he also mentioned that he faced difficulties in getting a job because of his appearance.
The decision to remove the marks, he says, seeks to align his image with this new stage.
When talking about what he classifies as a new beginning, Leandro attributes the change to a religious purpose.
“I believe that God has much more to do through this testimony,” he stated, in remarks reproduced in reports about the case.
How the Laser Removal Process Works
The procedure is performed in sessions, and the results appear gradually as the treatment progresses.
After the previous stages, Leandro reported that he notices a difference in how he is recognized in public.
According to him, the reduction in the visibility of the tattoos on his face has become more evident from a distance.
Leandro also said that specific designs, such as the skull tattoo, are mainly noticed when someone looks closely.
The information released indicates that the treatment takes place at a specialized clinic in the state of São Paulo and that, in his case, it is conducted at no cost.
Leandro has stated that he intends to continue with the sessions, respecting the necessary intervals for skin recovery.
Tattoos, Traumas, and Personal Testimonies
Over the course of about 20 years, Leandro has accumulated dozens of tattoos covering a large part of his body.
In statements already published, he linked the beginning of these modifications to childhood traumas and family issues.
Leandro himself described the tattoos as a kind of “shield” during that period.
With the change of trajectory, he began to associate the marks with a phase that, according to his accounts, he does not want to keep as a reference.
In this context, the removal of tattoos on his face appears as one of the central stages of the treatment, as it affects the most exposed area of his public image.
Leandro has presented this removal as part of his adaptation to the new path he claims to be following.
Scholarship in Theology and Move to Petrolina
Alongside the laser sessions, Leandro claims to have received a scholarship at Betânia Evangelical Seminary in Petrolina, in the hinterlands of Pernambuco.
His stated plan is to move to the Northeast to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Theology over four years.
With the move and the study routine, the removal schedule will need to be adjusted.
Leandro informed that the intervals between sessions are expected to become longer, and the average expectation is to have them done every six months, due to distance and academic schedules.
Social Media and Book Project
On social media, Leandro has been documenting the treatment and sharing his own journey, including the claim that he has left dependencies and changed habits.
He presents this narrative as motivation for people who, according to him, are looking to abandon substance use and reorganize their lives.
In addition to updates about the laser treatment, Leandro announced that he plans to release a book about his own story.
So far, however, there is no verifiable information in the material provided about title, publisher, or publication date.
The continuation of the treatment and the move to Petrolina keeps the case under observation by those who follow his publications.
