Tom Leppard

Tom Leppard

Tom Leppard, more widely known as Leopard Man or the Leopard Man of Skye, was formerly considered by the "Guinness Book of World Records" to be the world's most tattooed man. [Lucky Diamond Rich is now acknowledged as the world's most tattooed person. Cite web | last = Guinness World Records | title = Most Tattooed Person |url=http://www.guinessworldrecords.com/records/human_body/body_beautiful/most_tattooed_person.aspx | access-date = 2007-08-21] Leppard, now in his sixties, fled society years ago after spending £5,500 to have his body covered in leopard-like spots. He now lives in a small cabin on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Once every week, the ex-soldier travels by canoe to buy supplies and pick up his pension.

An interview with Leppard exploring both his past and his current lifestyle is in Henry Hemming's 'In Search of the English Eccentric', published in June 2008.

If he went back to civilization, he says he would be plagued by "interfering busybodies" and kids throwing stones at his window.
